It’s that time of year again. The leaves change color, the weather gets crisp, coats emerge from the closet. But it’s also that time of year when candy is available by the the bucketful, fake blood is encouraged and every day uniforms/outfits turn super sexy. Yes, it’s Halloween.
I don’t really know the origin of this [...]

I’m on Team Kindle.  I’ve been since I got mine over a year ago.  I’ve always loved reading and getting the Kindle was one of the best gifts ever (thanks P!).  To protect it, I decided to get one of those sleeve thingies, like a sleeve or sheath.  To date, it’s served its purpose protecting [...]

I’m allergic to Mondays.  This is true.  I may also be allergic to any day of the week that ends in “day”.  It’s a precarious predicament, I know.  Today, I woke up with a sneeze, sneezed while brushing my teeth, sneezed while trying to put in my contacts and almost poked out an eye, sneezed [...]

A couple weeks ago, I decided to go on a shopping diet.  I haven’t really defined the terms of this diet or determined my end goal, but I do know that since I went on it, I haven’t bought a thing.  Now, basic necessities are OK, so groceries, gas, the occasional coffee, medical copays, bills, [...]

Herman Miller sure knows how to make chairs.  They’re adjustable in all kinds of ways, can be customized depending on what you’re looking for, the support you need and the look you like.  They go up and down, tilt back and forth, you can adjust the arm rests, add on lumbar support.  This ergonomic chair [...]

For some reason, I don’t recall why or how, I started thinking about pens.  Now, I’ve always had a thing for stationary, art supplies and writing instruments.  I think it started when I was 4 years old with an obsession with stickers.  That then evolved into what to stick them on, then what kind of [...]

I, apparently, have been living under a rock.  There is an anti-theft safety feature in cars that I did not know existed, and it is because I had no prior knowledge of this feature that I was left cursing the heavens today.  The hour was about noon (read: ridiculously hot with a peak temperature of [...]

The author of my favorite blog makes me laugh so hard that I sometimes drool.  Some people pee their pants.  I drool.  What makes her blog so great is her knack for storytelling and uncanny illustrative abilities.  Any by illustrative abilities I mean being able to draw on MS Paint.  These simple but expressive drawings [...]
