Merry Christmas … Happy New Year! Oh I’m so lame. Between dinners, presents, no travel because of snow and just pure lazy days … I have been remiss. I’ve also changed my isp and added new software. Excuses … Excuses. I know. I’m doing a Women & Art section special feature in January so my [...]

According to Daniel Webster it is “having impaired psychological capacity to the extent of being forgetful and no longer able to carry out simple everyday tasks.” OK maybe I don’t suffer from the most intense definition, but perhaps the more casual definition [...]

Have you seen the documentary – and I use the term loosely – called Whopper Virgins? It’s about people from around the world who have never seen, tasted and/or heard of a Burger King Whopper or a Big Mac. Seriously. Watch it … it’s aahhhhh interesting. http://www.whoppervirgins.com/

Is your todo list done? Have you checked off the last 10 things to do before Christmas Eve? How about the first 10? My list is getting longer instead of shorter and I’m running on at least half empty. Heavy sigh. At least there’s no shortage of events and discounts. I’m counting on that while [...]

Here’s an FYI … It is so irritating to see those $1 charges that add up so quickly on my cell phone bill every month! So I was excited to see that Google offers a free 411 search that you can dial from any phone. Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) and voila! Just give them the city, state and [...]

I made an incredible turkey dinner with all the fixings and then some for Thanksgiving dinner for four people. Well, three because my husband doesn’t count since he’s vegan. So three people and 22 pounds of turkey. What was I thinking? I’ve already had three turkey sandwiches (with cream cheese and cranberries) that were delish. [...]
