So, what do you get for the person who has everything, hmmm? Maybe a shot of adrenalin. Like… a tandem beach sky dive? or how about a flight to the edge of space? :eek: I don’t know about you, but I get PLENTY of adrenalin just driving to my local Walmart shopping center, thank you [...]

Do You Have Wrap Rage?
February 9, 2011
I have been THIS close, peeps. VERY VERY CLOSE. I don’t think I would stab my new gadget with a Ronco Ginsu machete… but I’ve been preeeeeetty close. I have a honking big razor blade knife with snap-off blades (so it’s always sharp!) ready to roll whenever I come home with my new CD, lipstick, [...]
Do Other Shopping Lines Really Move Faster?
January 16, 2011
I saw this video by an engineer– and who am I to question an engineer, right? — but after watching this video, I have to disagree with the guy. It’s a rather long video, but take a minute to watch it and tell me what you think… I think the flaw in this “Queueing Theory” [...]

Wow, this is almost turning into a soap opera or series episode. Maybe I can sell the story to Steven Spielberg. :-p Remember how I wrote that I bought a Hamilton-Beach Brew Station and LOVED it, only to have the tank leak all over my countertops three months later? Well, I want to humbly and [...]
My New Business Card
January 31, 2010
I reworking my “brand” these days, so I crafted a new business card. I really like it! The caricature is cute, as is the cartoony look of the card in general. I got them from Vista Print. They should be in my mailbox in about two or three weeks (I’m stingy with shipping and went [...]

My Review of Family Dollar Store Toys
December 13, 2009
I recently wrote about our shopping excursion for toys to our local Family Dollar Store. I go to that store all the time, but I haven’t checked out the toy section in a while. I was impressed! Family Dollar has an entire section of toys specially priced at $5. Some toys are lower priced and [...]

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.
