I literally burn through computer keyboards and mouses. I work online all day, and really give my computer peripherals a workout. I generally burn through three mouses and two keyboards a year. The best keyboard I’ve ever used is the wired Apple Aluminum- it’s performed marvelously and is very comfortable. Unfortunately, I have a Windows […]

Word For Wednesday: The Compassionate One
January 19, 2011
My dear friend Karen posted about another one of those Internet quizzes, “How Compassionate Are You?” It’s just a simple little quiz, and I didn’t take it, actually. But it got me thinking. I thought about Jesus, in the scripture where it says: Matthew 15:32 Jesus called his disciples together and told them, “I feel […]
Free Samples and Other Stuff
January 18, 2011
Oh tell me, who doesn’t like free loot, huh? :grinny: I’ve discovered a website devoted to collecting and sorting information for free samples and stuff: Free Catcher.com. They have inexhaustable lists of free samples via mail, online free stuff, free trial offers, and such. They also list places on the Internet to find free music, […]
Meet Me on Monday #31
January 17, 2011
I’m in a rush today. Lots of work, an appointment, and I promised I’d take my daughter out to lunch today. She hasn’t been out in SO long (she’s a bookworm), so I’m determined to make this a nice time for her. 😀 So my MMoM will be short and sweet. Please leave your own […]

I saw this video by an engineer- and who am I to question an engineer, right? — but after watching this video, I have to disagree with the guy. It’s a rather long video, but take a minute to watch it and tell me what you think… I think the flaw in this “Queueing Theory” […]
Why High Schools Should Not Prepare Students For College
January 14, 2011
Short version: High schools should prepare students for LIFE. Not college. Long version: I have traditional ideas when it comes to education. That, and I haven’t seen a whole lot of educating going on since schools ditched the Classical Method in the 40’s and began experimenting with kooky social engineering methods. The Classical Method is […]
Gitarzan
January 13, 2011
My husband passed this video along to me. He plays guitar, and finds this song hilariously funny. And it IS funny. The first 20, 30 times, that is. After that, it gets kinda old. It’s by Ray Stevens, that barrel of laughs himself. As a favor to you, my dearly devoted reader, I’ll post the […]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine. Woohoo! It’s almost Super Bowl day! That is one of the few things I miss about not having TV; I miss watching the Super Bowl. (Although, I do not miss seeing the commercials). And watching the […]

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. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
