My daughter reminded me that I have taken her on exactly one picnic that she can remember. I started to tell her that I very well may have taken her on picnic she cannot remember, since she is only five, but I thought twice and just kept silent. Maybe I have only taken the kid […]
I used to be great at planning ahead. I aspired to be more spontaneous. I think, though, that I overcompensated. I do almost 4everythign now by the seat of my pants and look fondly back at the days when I was a super planner – though I do still keep a pretty OK calendar.
I told […]
How will I retire? That is the question I have been pondering since I took the BillsIQ quiz over on their website. The quiz was divided into several sections and I scored very high on most of them, but when it comes to what I have in place to make sure I can retire one […]
Why should I care about Michelle Obama’s speech that she made at the Democratic National Convention? Is she the candidate? Would the nation be signing some contract in blood to somehow allow her executive power alongside her husband?
I did make a point of watching it. I wanted to see if she dispelled my prior opinion […]

It’s time again to get wardrobes together for school. I have had a lot of fun updating my daughter’s wardrobe, and that includes fun accessories.
I want to remind everyone that I have a website that offers free hair bow instructions and I have just added two new sets of instructions, courtesy of Vanitha Ramasamy: the […]
OK, I have needed to revamp my wardrobe for some time now. I have been buying pieces here and there, but what I really need to do is take out everything I rarely wear and give it away. I need to make room for newer, trendier, more professional looking pieces. I lived for years in […]
I wrote a little blurb about Chris Makepeace on this blog almost a year ago.
Anyway, last night I watched Meatballs. Now, keep in mind that Meatballs was filmed 30 years ago. 30 years! It makes me feel a little old. Chris Makepeace would have been all of about 14 when he made the movie. In […]
