Pardon me while I commit suicide. Haagen-Dazs has discontinued my favorite flavor: Fleur de Sel Caramel. Why? Why? Why? Couldn’t they at least have warned me? I would have stockpiled if only I’d known! Everything on the news has been about recessions and health care when the real issues like discontinuing the best flavor of […]
If you remember the 70s and 80s very well you’ll recall the popularity of The Blonde. Farrah Fawcett, Olivia Newton John, Christie Brinkley, Jessica/Elizabeth from Sweet Valley High, and pretty much every smiling face in Seventeen Magazine was a girl with shiny blonde hair. The brunettes in the media were represented by Joanie on Happy […]
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 […]
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 […]
Some days I just seem to get nothing accomplished, no matter how busy I seem. On days like that I have to celebrate the little tasks. Otherwise, it’s just too sad. Yesterday’s big accomplishment was the removal of a Nerf dart from a really high up ledge in my house. It’s been there since Finn’s […]

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 […]
Remember this heinous old thing? I bought it at Wimberley Market Days which is a really cute flea market held once a month in the darling town of Wimberly, Texas. I went with Lorie from Be Different, Act Normal. It’s not the kind of flea market that sells Sham-Wows and huge bags of no-name tube […]

I haven’t wanted to say anything about this before, because I thought if I mentioned it I would fall off the wagon (kind of like the boy who cried wolf), but I’ve been off sugar for about four weeks now. If you’ve learned anything about me it’s that sugar is a huge part of my […]

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 […]
