Sometimes things just do not work the way I envision them, which drives me crazy. Take this beautiful table lamp near my chair, for example. It’s lovely; it complements the decor in my living room beautifully. However, it only emits a very soft, dim light. We have no overhead light in the room, which means [...]

I love shoes. I probably have more shoes than any woman on the planet. But I can always use another pair – at least, that’s what i tell myself. Comfort is a big deal to me, and that usually means athletic shoes. I think I’m going to try a pair of UGG boots, though. They [...]

Keep in mind this is a family-oriented blog! I admit, those initials mean something VERY specific to me (don’t strain your brain thinking about this – it isn’t really worth it). So when I got an assignment to check out POS systems, I was curious. I should’ve realized it simply referred to a contained point [...]

I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next person. So when I’m sent a link for something like funny t shirts, I’m happy to take a peek. Some of them WERE funny. Others were silly, and then there were the rest of them. I don’t get gross humor. My husband does, and often [...]

There are a few shows I consider “must see TV.” They’re all fascinating in slightly different ways, yet they all have one thing in common: they invariably work as an appetite suppressant for me. Case in point: “House.” Great show. Grosses me out. So do “CSI,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Bones.” I never thought I had [...]

I love wine. I generally prefer red, but a really nice Chardonnay will do it for me too. Visiting wineries is a fun way to discover great wine; another is to join a wine of the month club. I’ve gotten very lucky with these clubs in the past – for a flat monthly fee I’ve [...]

At least, I don’t think I am.  I’m hyper compulsive, and a neat freak.  It’s therefore very important that everything match, be thoroughly clean, and inhabit its proper place.  FOR EXAMPLE – I spent a great deal of time (and yes, money) on a set of luggage. We’ve used it once.  It is now missing, and [...]

Well, it’s always that time of the year, actually. I’m a freak. I constantly worry about gaining weight. Yes, I KNOW I have other things to worry about, and thank you so much for reminding me. Did you miss the part where I said I was a freak? I think I’m going to give this [...]

This time of year really messes me up.  I have too much to do, not enough hours in the day, and the holidays have bad associations for me.  In an effort to overcome, I’ve prepared a little gift:  a 4×6 brag book page that coordinates with one of my new kits, ‘Tis the Season.  Click [...]

I know some people think Orlando vacations are the dream, but I’m not a believer. Too hot, even in December, and don’t get me started on the over-population factor! My next vacation, believe it or not, will be somewhere cold, with nobody around to distract me from all the fun I’m not having. Okay, that’s [...]
