I’m handling email, faxes and snail mail. My mother. An ADD husband. An incontinent dog. That’s enough! Lara, my daughter, and Michael, my son, started nudging me a year ago to be on Facebook and Twitter. Why? Who cares if I washed my hands other than Maury? Why do I want to know one of their pregnant friends has gas? So what if someone was dressed as a bear for Halloween?Why are we so curious as to what people we knew years ago are doing right this minute? Because everyone is doing it!

Jean Rubin Meets Carra Riley

So those rotten kids volunteered my name to be interviewed on blog talk radio on Wednesday, November 4 at 9 AM Arizona time to see how technology is enhancing my life. IT”S NOT! I am beyond Stressed in Scottsdale trying to respond to all the messages and my ringing/beeping cell phone. But, if you want to listen in and hear me make a fool of myself, here’s what you do: www.blogtalkradio.com/CarraRiley OR you can call in and ask me a hard question: 347-994-1903. Don’t forget we’re the only state that doesn’t observe Daylight Savings Time so 9 AM here is 8 AM in California or 11 AM on the east coast. That’s really annoying…and guess what? It gives me STRESS!

Why Dust Is Nasty in Your Home Environment

After my kids hijacked me to do the radio blog talk show I picked up the paper and found something so bizarre I almost spit out my herbal tea. Researchers from right here at University of Arizona analyzed dust–don’t they have serums to make and cures to find?–and found that the stuff accumulating on top of our book shelves and entertainment centers contain–I can’t make this stuff up–SKIN! That’s right! Seems we’re shedding all the time and it floats up in the air and pieces of dead skin are laying around our house. If I stop dusting will I accumulate a whole person? There’s also arsenic and traces of lead in it. Now I’m really grossed out. It originates outdoors and comes in through open doors and windows or our shoes. Wait ’til I tell Maury he can’t wear shoes in the house anymore. And I’d better get right over to Lara’s and get the toy from under the sofa out of Jacob’s mouth!
