I am finally home. We arrived home this afternoon to a very coooooool house. As in… no heat.   Lovely. We have plugged in and turned on some electric oil-filled space heaters to knock off the chill. Tomorrow we’ll have to get a repairman to look into it for us. I’m hoping it’s not something [...]

Since I’ve tried unsuccessfully to post today (repeatedly) and have concluded the problem seems to be radiating from a severe lack of caffeine and a crappy internet connection, I’m hanging it up until I get home. I hope you have a fabulous Saturday!

It’s 4:30am and everyone in the house is sleeping…. but me. If you think about what today is…. Black Friday…. that would explain it. I’m up, I’m showered, I’m dressed and I’m waiting on my coffee to finish perking so I can fill a cup and hit the road! I’m meeting my sisters in just [...]

I was blog-hopping this morning and found this on ONE of the many fabulous blogs by Frances, the fearless leader of She Who Blogs. (You might notice each of those links is to a different blog of hers…. and what’s funny – I didn’t even get them all linked before I ran out of words [...]

Have you ever thought much about toilet paper? We all use it. (or so I surely HOPE!) We all purchase it. We all panic and run out to the store at ungodly hours of the night if we find ourselves OUT of it. (Or we send our hubby’s out to do it for us!) They [...]

Thank GOODNESS it’s Friday! A cold, windy day of 28* right now. Ya’ll have a great day! This chica is happy happy happy for a few days off!
