Some of you may not like this shade of purple. Some of you may not like the style of this shirt, with it’s built in shrug. But to me, this is, the perfect shirt. It’s cute and versatile. I can dress it up with a long black skirt for church or wear it with my [...]

Ok, here goes. I can’t say the beast within has come out recently, but it’s been trying. I think we all go through stages of being our nastier selves. Weeks, sometimes months pass where I plod along feeling snippety, suspicious and arrogant toward [...]

How are you planning to spend New Years Eve?

He’s nerdy and geeky and dorky and cheesy and punny (is that a word?) and sometimes a food and preparation utensil snob (can you say, NO UNITASKERS) but I’ve loved watching his Food network show Good Eats for years now. Because he’s also intelligent, knowledgeable, creative, unafraid to do his own thing and funny. When [...]

I think I have a fairly decent pain threshold.
I played roller hockey with my brother and his friends as a teen and proudly displayed the bruises and welts I received.
I played High School Basketball and got knocked about plenty as one of the shortest players on the court.
