I put as my status last night on Facebook & Twitter "Every once in awhile you get a reminder that you share the planet with some really awesome people." I think at a certain level we all know that, right? I personally have not encountered anyone who, in an hour of great need, did not... Continue Reading →
Luscious lips – or not?
I was watching something on TV recently, not on the DVR which is rare, and saw a commercial featuring Gwen Stefani that was for all day, wont ever smudge off lipstick. Or, so they claim of course 😉 In the commercial her lips were, naturally (I refuse to shorten that!), bright RED. And very shiny.... Continue Reading →
Memory test
Sort of anyway.... Think back to just 10 years ago let's say. Perhaps 15. Not counting your own, how many phone numbers did you know by heart? How many could you rattle off and just dial on those keypads without missing a beat? While I cannot tell you exactly how many I knew, I can... Continue Reading →
This week in learning: Grass & New Shoes!
First, for my fellow crazy cat lovers, a recommendation: Sweet Prince works for Petco corporate and brought me this self contained packet for grass seeds for the cats. Let me tell you, they LOVE it! And? it was remarkably easy to grow. I planted the seeds in the bag just before new years. Within a... Continue Reading →
This week in learning
A little color and hope of spring for my friends stuck in the depths of winter. Things I learned this week: Reading twitter is the 2011 version of "cleaning the oven". I know, you are confused. See, back in the 80s when I was still in college a classmate and I came up with the... Continue Reading →
Random things learned – and I mean REALLY random!
An August mom's New Year's resolution to learn/try something new every day in 2011 to honor a lost friend (and to blog about it at One New Thing) got me thinking how truly awesome that resolution is. Not that I will totally steal it from her, but I know that it's been on my mind... Continue Reading →
Late Friday beauty – is there anything better than cats with kids?
I had to capture this moment last night - Amber actually sat in someone elses lap while mine was available on the same sofa! And? They are BOTH smiling! Doesn't get better than that does it? After 10 days of winter break, the first work week of 2011 has been survived - barely! Each... Continue Reading →
What happened to Ebay?
I am going to sound like such an old fuss bucket, but, remember when Ebay was..well..EBAY?! When it was FUN? When it was EASY? When it was...well..CHEAP?! When Ebay first launched it was the Internets very own garage sale site. Just folks in their pajamas like me, cleaning out their closets & garages to sell... Continue Reading →
Please please tell me now
Sometimes, you just need to ask: While I can easily check out every website on the planet for crock pot recipes (and, believe me, I will!) - if my dear readers could please share ones they know have worked really well for them, that would be awesome. I am much more likely to try something... Continue Reading →
For want of a bed……
(A frightening peak into my brain on Saturday as I stood in my bedroom assessing the furniture situation & then soothed my frayed nerves by watching House Hunters & a couple of design shows which only triggered more rearranging ideas. Oh and I did take some pictures. I was just too tired after this to... Continue Reading →
