Just ramblings today because I can’t get it in gear to save my soul. I wouldn’t be able to find my sewing machine if someone pointed me toward the thing. Been babysitting the dog – she has a torn acl and life as “mom” has become a 26 hour a day job again. Trust [...]
Easy Self-Installation. I’m not kidding! Replacing “the check is in the mail,” “Honey, that wasn’t me,” and “Mom, I swear I didn’t do it,” is a large black stamp that is on the packaging of everything from paper towel holders to front porch deck kits.
My wireless router/modem died three Sundays ago. Saturday night it was working, [...]
Remember as a kid, all those crazy things you were told by parents? And then you grew up to learn many of them weren’t true? And the horror! To think they were capable of lying!
For fun, many of those untruths are listed below. Some you might never heard of, but they will all give [...]
In this economy, is it possible to maintain life’s expensive necessities, as well hold onto those little luxuries? The answer is yes, by taking advantage of services offered at schools… cosmetology schools, dental and dental hygiene schools, and massage therapy schools. Often, these schools offer services by students who need to train and work for [...]

Not counting the motherhood/wife position, I think this author thing is the hardest by far. Without going into the whole sad business end of it – because nobody [...]
I do not have a green thumb. I once killed a silk ficus benjamina. No joke. When my hubby and his mother planted a vegetable garden this year, they ordered me to stay away from it. I touch a plant and it dies. So imagine my delight when I succeeded this summer in growing and [...]
Being a historical author, I thought it’d be kewl to run out and pick up a movie or 2 about the American Revolution. To save time, I googled first. The hits were…shockingly bare.
What is it that Hollywood doesn’t like about America gaining its independence? Must be something because I came up with a whopping 2 [...]
A rash of table flipping across the country has major restaurants in a panic. The cost of damages alone is running into the tens of thousands. Woman of all ages are taking their aggressions out on tables in public places, specifically, in major food establishments. The finer the restaurant, the more the table flipping.
“It a [...]
Those who know me, know I’m all about cooking ahead. I have at least two meals (often three!) in mind when I cook one. This is a great creative outlet for me, but it also saves money. Times are as tight as they’ve been in years and years, so read on even if you don’t [...]
Remember my earlier post about the retro room? I related how I’d completed my part in the project, making window valances from the Route 66 novelty print fabric. That left us with two naked sets of sliding glass doors. Fortunately, I married a man who loves to work on old cars and has done a [...]
