We haven’t altered our insurance- any of it- in probably 10 years. UGH. This is the year, I guess. Since we renovated the house, we need to make note that the wiring is no longer from 1920!!! Yay! I hope that saves us something on our premium, or at least gives us better coverage. Have […]

I TOTALLY Love My GPS!!!
February 19, 2011
I’m back! I’m back from an overnight trip to the Finger Lakes. WOW it was fun, but by day 2, I was horribly homesick. I missed my kids and I missed my kitty. They told me Livvy was terribly lonely, meowing and whining and pining out the window waiting for me. She was pretty depressed […]
Prom Dresses
February 19, 2011
It’s almost that time of year for public school students. The prom. By the way, WHAT does “prom” mean?! Is it short for something? When I was in high school, a bunch of students held a “morp” which is “prom” backwards. At the morp, we had to wear unformal clothes, such as sweat pants and […]

Bird Radio! :grinny: *rubs hands and cackles* My kitty, Livvy, has acquired THE most annoying habit- sitting in front of my computer monitor while I try to work. Grrrr!!!

Every single time I hear this song, I want to jump around the house (and often do!). EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Hillsong United is coming to Boston, Massachusetts! Did you hear?! I saw the listing at Cheap Concert Tickets, where they have, duh, cheap concert tickets. Someday I am going to make it to a Hillsong […]
What Is With Horses That Makes Our Hearts Turn To Mush?
February 15, 2011
Oh, gals, do you remember discovering horses at about age 10? It seems that every single little girl LOVES horses at about that age. I used to draw them, paint them, write stories about them- such beautiful creatures! I never did get a horse, never even rode one before. As the years have passed, I […]
Meet Me on Monday #35
February 13, 2011
It’s Monday! Woohoo! I like Mondays. I like the fresh start of the week, all the opportunities before me. I work at home doing what I love (blogging and freelance writing), so I love workdays. Before I start, I want to let you all know that I DID manage to visit every single Meet Me […]
What If “UP” Was Made in the 1960s?
February 10, 2011
I saw the Pixar film “Up” recently. What a cute, cute movie!!! I love Pixar- my favorite film is “The Incredibles” (I even shelled out $20 to buy the DVD), but I also LOVE “Finding Nemo” and “Monsters,” and “Toy Story.” Those guys (and gals) at Pixar are just hilarious!! But I love “The Incredibles” […]
Do You Have Wrap Rage?
February 9, 2011
I have been THIS close, peeps. VERY VERY CLOSE. I don’t think I would stab my new gadget with a Ronco Ginsu machete… but I’ve been preeeeeetty close. I have a honking big razor blade knife with snap-off blades (so it’s always sharp!) ready to roll whenever I come home with my new CD, lipstick, […]

February 9, 2011
Not everyone can be a frugal goddess. :grinny: So if you are like me 😉 you need a little help when it comes to saving the bucks (or yen or pounds or whatever you use!). That’s the beauty of Savings.com. They have a huge Question and Answer feature at their Savings.com deals website. It’s very […]


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.
