For months, every day I would wake up and say to myself: “Today’s the day! Today’s the day I am going to clean up the black hole of crap that is next to my computer!” Every night I would go to bed and think, “…tomorrow… I’ll do it tomorrow…” The problem is that it isn’t […]

We Want To Know Wednesdays #2
The ladies behind Seriously Shawn, Dandelion Wishes, Confessions of an Impulsive Addict and The Johanson Journey have started a series of weekly questions to answer. I appreciate that it is on Wednesday… the day I am most likely to be up to my eyeballs in laundry and have forgotten to make dinner. This week’s questions: […]
Pink cabbage is just plain wrong.
So the other day I was in my local Goodwill (Yes…. The one that sells rocks…) and I came across this. It clearly had a lid at some point in its life, but the lid was missing and there was a chip on the top of it.Oh. And it was pink. Who has ever heard […]
The Blue Twig Chandelier. (who knew?)
This is the project I did for last week’s One Month To Win It challenge. It gave me so many problems that I almost included a “rest in peace” wreath when I sent it off to the judges. Shockingly, this project won for the week. (In spite of my son telling me it looked like […]
Some comments just deserve a good roast.
So the other day Halsey from Spunky Junky left a comment on an old post of mine saying she thought it was funny. It was so old I had kind of forgotten what it was about, so I re-read it. I cracked up, remembering the situation. I decided to re-post it today in the hopes […]
I’d answer your question… but you just. won’t. let. me.
Dear Carmina, Thank you for the comment on my post about how to etch your name into the bottom of your glass pans… “Quick question, do you have any problems with the etching after it’s been in the oven?” I wanted to give you a Quick Answer! I wanted to tell you that “Yes! Yes! […]
We Want To Know Wednesdays #1
So 3 bloggy friends (and a fourth friend I haven’t “met” yet) are starting We Want to Know Wednesdays. They say I can avoid laundry by answering a few questions… Avoid the laundry?! I’m in! The questions they pose are as follows: 1. Do you make friends easily? Yes, actually. I don’t need to have […]
What to do with tart strawberries… Strawberries “Brulee”
It’s strawberry season here….. almost. Oh, they’re in the stores, but they are not perfectly delish and totally sweet. Yet. If you buy them from the farm stand, you’re good to go, but from the store in the clam shell…? A little on the tart side. Here’s what I do to fix them: slice strawberries […]
The Easter Claus…. Or Santa Bunny… (Either way, it’s all kinds of wrong.)
Scene: My house. My parents stopped in for a quick visit. The boys are talking with their Gramma about upcoming Easter events. Grant: “…And will we do an Easter egg hunt at your house?” Gramma: “Yes! Of course! And what do you boys want the Easter Bunny to bring you for Easter?” Me: “Mom! The […]
Turning the dog’s chew toy into a chair. A Mod Podge make-over.
This was my project for Round 2 of One Month To Win It’s craft competition. Now that the voting is over I can share it with you. The challenge was to do something that involved Mod Podge. Mod Podge and I go way back, but we have a sort of volatile relationship. (There have been […]
