Clearing Out the Stuff: Variations on a Theme

April 11, 2011

I wrote this sometime last week when I was on a plane to Seattle. You might notice a recurring theme these days. I sort of belted out an intended stream of consciousness Friday night. But this one has a little more thought to it and lets you know more of my state of mind. — [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: Oh no, I didn’t

March 20, 2011

I rarely talk about things like religion on my blog. There’s a reason. I consider myself to be a very spiritual person with a very complicated religious upbringing. No, there were no rattlesnakes involved but it might have come close. I respect everyone’s right to agree and disagree and find meaning in life. In short, [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: I’m moving

February 27, 2011

I’ve been hinting at some potentially big, family news for weeks now. Some of you suspected a move might be in my future and you suspected right. I have so many mixed emotions about it that I can almost guarantee that I’ll be blogging about it for weeks to come. It just will probably be [...]

What Women Need (Apparently)

August 18, 2010

I absolutely love magazines. I actually enjoy reading in general. But magazines are like a staple for me. No matter how virtual my life becomes, I still like to pick up and hold those glossy pages in my hand. So it should be no surprise that I have mounds of magazines laying around my house [...]

When Blogging Crosses the Line

August 13, 2010

This is not the post you are thinking it will be. This is not inspired by any person, or conference, or post. It’s a question about what constitutes a violation of privacy. I remember reading, well, not exactly reading, a book by David Sedaris. I listened to the audiobook, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and [...]

Shopping with a Purpose

August 6, 2010

I love to shop. Don’t judge me. Don’t dress me up in pink and call me a typical woman. Loving to shop has nothing to do with being a woman. My husband loves to shop. (Granted, it’s usually for power tools but he does have a soft spot for shoes). For me, it’s not about [...]

What She Says: Reality TV

July 26, 2010

Reality television may seem like a recent phenomenon but that statement is only accurate if you consider 40 years to be recent. That’s right. The precursor to reality TV as we know it today is arguably the groundbreaking documentary “An American Family” that was filmed in 1971 and aired on PBS in 1973. It had [...]

The Belt That Fits Like A Glove

July 9, 2010

My husband was so excited when he found out that I would do reviews and giveaways. He was not nearly as excited when he found out that I probably wouldn’t be reviewing power tools, single malt scotch, and motorcycles. (However, if you work for one of those companies, let me know. We could work something [...]

Music to Make You Clean

June 26, 2010

I don’t like to clean. I’d like to meet the person who does. One of the things I want to focus on is ways to make your everyday life a little bit easier, a little greener, and a lot more fun. With that said, I spent the afternoon cleaning and prepping for a last minute [...]
