It’s Red Ribbon Week. Oh joy. I love to rant and rave about how stupid it is (you can read about it here). There is no way that having weird hair/crazy socks/wearing pajamas is going to keep my kids off drugs. That’s the whole point of red ribbon week, right? To get kids not to […]
Excuse me for going AWOL. I finally, after months of hemming and hawing, got an iphone. My texting days of pressing the button three times to get an “s” are over. Praise be! On top of that I had to get a new hard drive for my laptop. All my music was backed up on […]
I didn’t vote for the guy, but I must say I was pretty jazzed about Obama taking over today. I hope he does a splendid job and makes this country an even better place to live. I have to imagine what was going though George Bush’s head as he flew away in the helicopter (“halle-frickin-llujah”). […]

For years I cooked bacon on the stove because that’s the way my mom and grandma always did it. When I went to college my roommate, Heidi, showed me how to cook it a better way. Technically, it’s baking your bacon. If you only make a couple of slices at a time, cooking bacon in […]

Before I start our food-storage item for next week, I’d like to know who has gotten their sugar. I have a few people. Who’s been a good girl? Could I just get a bit of sympathy for a moment. I have broken yet another charger for my laptop (actually, I think this latest one has […]
I gave up caffeine last week. Mountain Dew and I were getting a little too carried away in our torrid affair. We just need some time apart. You know how it is. Here’s the funny thing, though; it’s totally not a big deal, this giving up caffeine. Do you want to know how to make […]
Today I am going to tell you about my favorite Christmas book. I’ve blogged about it before but then it went out of print and the world became a sadder place. But I noticed that it’s back in print! Yipee! (Softcover only, though. Sigh.) It’s so worth adding to your collection. It’s called A Small […]
It’s Makeup Monday and I’m here to preach the gospel of lipstick (especially long-wearing lipstick that lasts all day). If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, you’ve heard me rant about this before but I simply must insist that all women wear lipstick. Really. Unless you’re fourteen and have naturally red lips you really […]

Yes, it’s National Donut Day. Don’t you roll your eyes and assume it’s along the same lines as National Toilet Paper Day (I just made that up. But then I Googled it and it actually exists! It’s August 26th!) National Donut Day actually has a long and touching history. In 1917, Salvation Army female volunteers […]
