We’re off to Ireland!
Packing was an experience…

As we prepare to leave for Ireland (my third trip) my mouth is watering just thinking about the brown bread. Yummy.
I found a recipe online that is as close as I can get using what I can find at the local grocery. You may have to go to the organic section for the wheat germ [...]

Well, everything (except what I need tomorrow morning) is crammed into the suitcases. And I mean crammed. I had to do some pretty serious maneuvering to get Brenna’s car seat into the luggage and not have to add a bag.
Tomorrow morning should be smooth. I want to change the bed [...]

OK, so it’s not like I really have anything else going on right now… And I have plenty of time to just pop around You Tube watching videos… But I gotta send you to this video of Contemporary Kitchen Design.
These are kitchens that I dream about. I am desperately in love with [...]

Saddam’s nuclear arms program probably in Syria. But we knew that, since that’s were a bunch of Sarin ended up.

What you need to know about Tet after 40 years of mis-reporting.

I’m not such a big fan of what I drive now. You see, it’s not fun. I used to have fun cars. I had a Jeep Wrangler for a while. Which I traded on an Expedition. Which was a bad decision. So I got rid of it and bought [...]

Congratulations!
And thanks to everyone who entered! I’m making no promises, but next [...]

You can tell a lot about a person by their license plate. You may be able to find out their profession, where they went to college, their birthdays, their age or even their name with just a quick glance at their car.
And, while I never really thought about it, it only makes sense that you [...]

See the top of the page? Where it says:
“Not To Be Missed!”
There are two drawings listed right under that. And both end tomorrow morning. No, I don’t know what time… Whenever I wake up, have some caffeine and enter the info into the handy random number generator…
So you had better just get entered [...]

I’m pretty picky about my shampoo and conditioner. OK, I’m a snob. I have my salon brand preferences (I’ve had my cosmetology license for years so I can get my stuff wholesale) and I rarely vary from them.
The other day I received a sample of a new and conditioner for color treated hair. Which is [...]

Not long ago I told you about United Airlines charging $25 for a second piece of checked baggage.
Yesterday US Airways followed suit. Soon I expect this will be the norm. For ideas on shipping luggage be sure to check out my travel blog and be sure to use space bags when you pack your suitcase.

OK, so I just read an article that said the cost of weddings comes as a surprise to engaged couples.
Seriously? I was well aware of the cost of a wedding when Doug & I got married. Maybe it was because I was older and had no grand ideas of big white dresses, towering cakes and [...]
