Hark! This Single Girl Will Love Again

Friday, December 16th, 2011

I’ve been getting a lot of well-meaning, if not entirely necessary, sympathy of late. True, my personal life kind of went the way of UTTER SADNESS earlier this year, but I’m actually okay. When I find my thoughts turning to him and to what happened, I find myself confounded more than anything else. I don’t [...]

Sixth Annual Turkey Day Craft Hour

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

I know, I know. You’ve all been waiting with bated breath, wondering when I’d be hitting “publish” on my Annual Turkey Day Craft post. It’s been a week and still nothing. You thought I’d forgotten, didn’t you? Well, to you I say in no uncertain hyperbolic terms, what is life without a turkey craft?!? And [...]

When Bloggers Meet & Tweet

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Last weekend, I threw together a little meet up for some local bloggers, many of whom I’ve been reading for years and had yet to meet in person! With everyone’s busy schedules- especially over the summer months, there just never seems to be an opportunity to get together! So, I created one. Our own unofficial version of [...]

Commuting To Work Is In The Bag, Courtesy of Samsonite

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Wendy, modeling the versatility of Samsonite’s comfy, padded interior. I’ve been commuting to my job for six years next month (umm, wow…really? Where have the years GONE?!), during which time I’ve put a number of bags to the test. I’ve tried the two-fer: the purse and work bag double whammy (too much to carry). I’ve [...]
