I’m not a huge fan of the internet quiz. Well, I used to be. That was before motherhood and a hectic schedule that has my online time trimmed down to the work-at-home necessities. Still, there are times I do take the laptop out to the family room with me so I can aimlessly surf the […]

God bless my friend, Michelle. Bless her. Bless her. Bless her.
As some of you may know, I am living with family while I am in transition after my divorce. Like many women who spent years at home as a wife and mother and then find themselves divorced, I also find myself with close to nothing […]

Our society is full of mixed moral standards.
In a day and age when there is more focus than ever on drug rehab and the importance of living a clean life, the United States media is still comfortable moving the news of the death of Albert Hofmann (father of the drug LSD) to the top position […]

As I do more and more freelance work lately, I find that I need to present the most professional front possible. For years, I have only done freelance for a select few businesses that I had worked with in the past. Lately, though, word of mouth has been picking up speed and I am finding […]

I’ve already expressed how creepy I think it is that Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) is/was/whatever dating Brooke-Hogan-Look-alike Jennifer McDaniel.

One of the projects is selling […]

This weekend was the annual Webkinz Extravaganza and we jumped in with both feet.
Until this past week, Gigi only had one Webkinz – a lil Unicorn named Rose Petal. This week we found a store that started the promo where you spend $10 and get a free Webkinz early, so she got a new Pink […]

When I look around at the prices of rentals around here, my heart rate actually increases. It is frightening how much rent in general went up along with the housing prices. And, now that house prices are coming back down quickly, apartments and other rental properties are still remaining sky high. I suppose that is […]

I’ve been spending a lot of time fixing up the flower beds around the house. I have pulled out nearly everything, installed landscaping fabric, planted new flowers, and mulched. We have potted over a dozen fruit trees and put them on the back patio. The potted trees add a certain amount of charm that you […]

The mockingbird is the Florida state bird. So, I was honored when a pair of mockingbirds decided to build their nest this spring right in front of my front door, in a pair of ficus trees. We watched the nest building process, the mother sitting on the nest, and finally the very quick maturation of […]
