I have been doing some cleaning in my office. Purging really. It has been time consuming because it is mostly paper stuff and I want to read most things to determine their value. I would say ninety percent is getting recycled. The rest is either being scanned to put in my One Note in a…
About a month ago I was cleaning up my back patio. Next thing I know, these little things were sticking me with needles. I finally realized it was wasps. I have never been stung before and it was quite the experience. The thing is they were relentless. Apparently, they do not lose their stinger, so…

It was a hot weekend in July when we decided to clean the headlights on my 2008 Hyundai Sante Fe. Yep, she’s an oldie, and I love her. One of the best vehicles we have ever had and I hope to keep her for a few more years yet. Unfortunately the headlights have fogged over…

A Quick Review, Sort Of I have been reading Under the Dome by Stephen King (Amazon.com / Amazon.ca) for about five months. Maybe longer. In general, I tend to be a slow reader but not usually this slow. I finished reading the book! It is a huge weight off my shoulders. And my wrists. Seriously,…
I think, like most people who wear mascara, I like to switch it up every other tube or so. But when I do find one I like, like L’Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara, then I tend to use it until I get bored or something about it stands out that I don’t like and then I…
The only waterproof shoes I have are Sloggers ankle boots. Sexy huh? I was sent a free pair of black Loom Footwear Waterproof Sneakers for review on BigGirlBlue.com. The Loom Footwear website’s main tagline is “we provide high quality waterproof sneakers designed for outdoor activities”. Over the last few weeks I have worn them about…
Strengthen the Mind Body Connection In 2004 I had a few grand mal seizures. Somehow during the first one I ended up falling out of bed and breaking my back. The whole incident is a long story and I’m only mentioning it for context. My brain was pretty foggy for a few days afterwards. And…
