The Search For Sa-weeeet Bath Towels Is Finally Over

How do you feel about the selection of bath towels at your home goods store?  Do you wish the selection was a little more…interesting? Though not currently in the market for new towels (I’m just so totally happy with my 8-year-old cream-colored ones, ughh) I often go online in search of amazingly colored and patterned towels.  You know, [...]

Onion Rings – Oh, Yes I Did!

Good morning!  Another week and weekend has come and gone…sheeeeeesh!  Not much to report after the weekend except that I attempted onion rings for the first time and I’m happy to announce that I didn’t start a kitchen fire and there weren’t any leftovers - which, in my fumble-fingered world of cooking means they were tasty!  [...]

I Like My Sugar With Coffee and Cream

Is it safe to assume that most of you like coffee?  What’s your poison? My old man takes his “light and sweet” with a ton of half & half and 3 packets of raw sugar.  My preference is espresso drowning in chocolate and raspberry flavors.  Which, lately, has presented a big problem.

Before & After { Li’l Blue Case }

During the last garage sale season I picked up this small but tough-as-rocks case figuring I could house some of Aleks’ Matchbox cars inside (or dominoes, or crayons, or Monkeys that never make it back to the Barrel O’…)  But when I sat down to start tweaking, my original idea was nowhere to be found and within a half hour [...]

Obsessive compulsive disorder can certainly be a very serious condition.  My affliction is minor compared to, say, the awesome title character played by Bill Murray in the movie What About Bob? but nonetheless, it’s bad enough to have been officially diagnosed by a licensed therapist using the DSM-IV.  So even though the title of this post pokes [...]

Wordoodle! { puerile }

Wordoodle! for Wednesday, February 22, 2012: { puerile } http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/puerile Example of use:  “Aleks, I know you’re only four years old and I shouldn’t expect you to act less puerile, but could you please stop speaking in that made-up language whilst sticking carrots up your nose so Mommy doesn’t have to take you to the emergency room?”  Also [...]

Use My Stuff: Project 2

This is totally cheating.  Ah, well. Before Christmas I vowed to start using up my stuff instead of hoarding new items.  (Read about it here.)  This morning presented a unique opportunity to get into my box of fabric – we actually got snow!  And good, wet, snowman-grade snow at that!  So the kid and I [...]
