Everyone is talking about the New Year coming up. In the back of my mind is the very weighty realization that… I will now have to remember to write “10” on my checks instead of “09.” It usually takes me about 2 months to get it down regular. :blink: With the New Year, my thoughts […]

Why I Hate Non-Stick Cookware
December 29, 2009
:gah: See those black stripes? That’s not burger grill marks… That’s the non-stick cookware that has come off the grill onto the burgers!

Comments Off on A Great Apartment Directory
When I was younger (this was before the Internet!), the only way I knew to look for apartments was to either go to the local Post Office in town (those gossips know about EVERYTHING), or walk down the street, looking for empty windows and asking neighbors about the empty windows. Yes, I actually DID find […]

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Werever Products Inc. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that I’m planning a kitchen renovation for next summer, I’m hitting the books again, looking for ideas. A lot of my old kitchen magazines mention “outdoor kitchens.” I thought it was a fad.

Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others.
