I Salute You Friday #2

Friday, May 14th, 2010

A while ago I decided to point out some things I thought were pretty kickass.  As you know, I’m obviously an expert in the field of acknowledging all that is kicksass- it’s true- so this made perfect sense.

When Things Get Poopy…Get Links!

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

With everything that keeps happening in the world and my pointless and lame moodiness of late, I figured it was time for a “happy” post. These are some short videos that make me happy.

Twit With the Program

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I’m still uncertain how this whole Twitter thing works, but I thought it was about time I got with the program. If only for the coupons and promo codes, right? Or to learn about untimely deaths like Brittany Murphy’s. About that, can I just say what the hell?
Yeah, so now I’m twittering (@nicnarrates). Which, to [...]

Nic’s Recession-Friendly Holiday Gift Guide

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Just a few odd, inexpensvie, and quirky ideas to share…

Given my own proclivities toward cereal, I’d venture to say I’m not really the target market here, but GDF is quite the Cooker-Girl. In fact, she’s one the one who showed me how easy it is to choose your own recipes for the cookbook inserts, then coordinate photos and [...]

A comfy new pair of UGGs.
