I love fun gifts. I never gave my mom potholders or my dad a tie for Christmas– I got her a pet rock or for him I made a sock puppet that looked just like him, lol. They actually LIKED those gifts, too… although I think my mom didn’t feed the poor pet rock and [...]

It’s Like Sitting Inside a Speaker
October 13, 2010
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dual Electronics. All opinions are 100% mine. Ever ride in a Z-28 car? I did, waaaaaaay back in the late 80s when they were “hot.” Besides the speed and lounge-like front seats (I got the front seat, my brothers were squished into the bicycle [...]
I Recommend One for Everyone :)
October 11, 2010
This little gadget has perhaps been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Do you have one? I LOVE my iPod Touch. I had no idea how much I would come to rely on it– it does a million nifty little things! I recently downloaded a Kindle app that enables me to read ebooks [...]
Best Price on Core i5 Processors
October 2, 2010
I’m STILL on the prowl for an updated computer. My current one is still working pretty well, although the graphics card is starting to act up. I use my computer almost 24/7 because I work at home. My needs are pretty steep– I need a hefty processor, lots of RAM, and a very good graphics [...]
This is Totally Cool– But Does It Really Work?!
September 27, 2010
I was surfing new gadgets online at Buy.com’s weekly sale page. Apparently, this week is Microsoft Hardware Sale week. I like Microsoft mouses (I wear out mouses rather quickly, because I work online all day; Microsoft mouses are the only mouses that withstand my grueling schedule). I saw this new totally COOL mouse gadget. What [...]
What the Heck Is This?
August 9, 2010
‘Twas scouring through the weekly sale page at Buy.com and spotted this funky thing. Got any guesses as to what it is? It’s a mouse! For your computer! I thought I have seen them all, but this gadget just takes the cake! It’s called the Jelfin Gel Covered Mouse. Buy.com includes a little video on [...]
Results for the Flies Away Fly Bait Trap Experiment
July 3, 2010
From this the first two weeks… To this last week…. To this, THIS week. And MAN the thing reeks like you wouldn’t believe! I had to move it far away from the clothesline to the back of the garden. It’s filled with flies, all right… but I do wonder if the thing is exacerbating the [...]
Carry the Internet With You
May 26, 2010
This has GOT to be the absolutely coolest thing I have seen. Hands down, this is the best gadget of the year! I saw this on sale at Buy.com and it is amazing! It’s the Sony Dash. It’s a “personal Internet viewer.” I have always wanted one of these. How many times have I been [...]
Just Call Me Tron
March 5, 2010
Any of you Gen Xers remember Tron? I always think of that movie when I see these gadgets: I finally figured out what that thing is. It’s a Bluetooth headset! I am a computer whiz, but when it comes to cell phones and mp3 players and all that “little” gadgetry, I’ve never been very interested. [...]
World’s Crappiest Mouse
February 18, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the World’s Crappiest Mouse. EVER. It’s a Microsoft Compact Optical Mouse 500 v2.0. It stinks. I’m a mouse-a-holic. I’ve tried them all! Trackballs, wired, wireless, weirdo shapes, colors, and sizes… all sorts of brands. I have a cabinet stuffed with old mouses and mouse parts (I just can’t [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
