Please line up in an orderly fashion and take a number.
Because you are like the 100th person this week to ask me for a little “advice”, also known as “free work”.
This must happen in a million professions. People ask the doctor, “gee, I’ve got this pain on my left side”. They ask [...]

In a quest to be a slightly better me, I have been hanging out with this thing called a Mii. The Mii is actually the Wii Fit avatar, and apparently it’s exerting more influence over me than most people I know! (family excluded, I haven’t gone totally crazy!)
Meet my avatar:
So the first [...]

Isn’t is always someone else’s fault?
Congressman Eric Massa must have dropped this when he allegedly met up with Rahm Emanuel in the House locker room:
Where to begin? At first he was resigning over health issues, but no, then he was “forced” out by his own party, but wait, there might be that thing where [...]

I’m playing with some new widgets today, and I’ve decided to conduct a completely unscientific poll.
Over the weekend when I was hijacked by spring, we flipped on the outdoor speakers. Which are fabulous to sit outside and relax by.
BUT.
We have a rather large music collection on the house. I don’t always like everything [...]

My blog seems to have been hijacked the last few days by a little thing called spring. Actually, its a big huge thing, because living in New England, we are generally still seeing many inches of snow on the ground, and snowbanks in our driveways.
So the gods graced us with a warm, sunny weekend; [...]

Meg decided last year she could not longer stand her dentist, as this dentist copped an attitude with her when she had to reschedule a cleaning twice in a month.
Meg gave the office plenty of notice, and things happened, like the nice people at Lowe’s wanted to deliver a new washer that day. [...]
Blogger extraordinaire BOSSY has announced her "No Book Tour"! Sign up today and get your blogger community behind a BOSSY visit!
Found is a web site that posts all kinds of intriguing notes, birthday cards, to-do lists, all of which have been "found". Some of of them are sweet, some quite salty, and some are probably things someone wishes they had never written down. Go on, take a peek for fun!
Reading on the Kindle
From Amazon: "Holy cow, this book should be a huge success. It has everything: nuns, conjoined twins, civil war, and medicine — I was thinking that if Vikram Seth and Oliver Sacks were to collaborate on a four-hour episode of Grey’s Anatomy set in Africa, they could only hope to come up with something this moving and entertaining…. A marvelous novel!” Mark Salzman
I'm on board with this, I love it when nuns are involved in a story line.
Reading in Hardcover
From Amazon: "In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable’s girlfriend for a bear. Both the twelve-year-old and his father become fugitives, forced to run from Coos County–to Boston, to southern Vermont, to Toronto–pursued by the implacable constable. Their lone protector is a fiercely libertarian logger, once a river driver, who befriends them.
Since my husband is from Coos County aka, lumberjack country, I thought this would give me a little more insight to that crazy place he is from. Sounds like a trip down memory lane.
It's raining this weekend, so I'm going to crack open my White Flower Farm catalog. I'm a huge fan of their bulb collections, and I plant batches of them every fall. Check out their web site for inspiration for your yard!
Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial.
