This weekend at church was a heavy-duty Gospel reading about sin. Eye for an eye, cut off the right hand of the thief, divorce, adultery. Halfway through, I wanted to raise my hand and ask if they could shorten this all up for us and state what wasn’t a sin. I was beginning to lose … Read more

Every time I see an infomercial, I think I’ve seen everything and then this comes along. Looking good and taking some pride in your appearance has completely left the building. Behold the Pajama Jean……….. I kid you not.

After a rough night’s sleep, I dragged my weary butt to the kitchen where a full pot of coffee was ready and waiting for me. How I love the genius who thought to put a timer on a coffee maker. If only they could put one of those on me 🙂

I know that there have been numerous studies done on the teenage brain. Sleep, school starts, peer pressure, bullying, food intake, food outake, GPA, college entrance essay, but there is only one study I’m really interested in.

The direction we’re going is somewhat in flux but we’ve had a couple of successful sales, love repurposing ugly stuff and making some money along the way. We’re always on the hunt for inventory and gravitate to the same kind of things with the … Read more

Like most of the country, we’re in the midst of a doozy of a snowstorm causing the local forecasters to be on the verge of a weather orgasm. They’re so excited they’re practically breathless giving the details. Off camera they must have to take periodic hits on an oxygen tank enabling them to confidently go … Read more

I am in love with Target as it never fails to know what I need want even when I don’t. New designer for a limited time? Check. Polka dot drinking glasses in four different colors? Check. Dog food? Check. Clearance end caps marked @ 75% off? Double check. The weather forecasters have been freaking out … Read more
