Yesterday during my lunch break, I decided to finally pick a loan off of Kiva to donate to. I have been aware of this site for probably about a year or two and really admire the efforts and I guess the whole system/principle of microfinance. And… since I don’t explain things very well, here is…
I’ve been a solid purveyor of legal music since iTunes came out when I was in college. I’ve been known to buy music to avoid writing papers, cleaning, and just about anything. Yesterday there was a promotion on Amazon that if you sent 5 friends an Amazon/Facebook gift certificate (each valued at $1 or more),…
I’m not a huge fan of Halloween. I’m not sure I ever really have been. I think costumes are okay – but I prefer the “creative” as opposed to the “revealing” – and as a female that might be a rather conservative view point. As a child, I am sure I had some really typical…
Its been a busy few weeks for me. Perhaps you’ve noticed by the infrequent blog posts …. or because you’ve secretly hacked into my webcam and seen the bags under my eyes. I’m really hoping its the first one. But, last week I noticed that I had hit another milestone and since you read my…
Its no secret that I love Kraft Mac & Cheese. Its also no secret that I love my Tivo. So what happens when there is a Kraft M&C ad on my Tivo? I don’t fast forward through it. Seriously. I saw one of the new ads maybe a week or so ago and thought it…

A few years ago, I gave up “celebrity gossip” for Lent. It was challenging for sure – but very revealing as to how much time I was actually spending checking in on Britney Spears mental status or Paris Hilton’s latest boyfriend. I’m honestly not sure why I find these things interesting or compelling, but I…
In this day and age where email is nearly my primary way of communicating with loved ones – and businesses …. I expect that the messages that make it to my in-box to be pretty much on the mark with interest level. So… you can see why I find it puzzling that Delta thinks that…
Here is a recipe for an excellent evening: Fire + Wine + Tivo’d Romantic Comedy There is something incredible about a couch … never mind adding a fire. Dear Couch, I love you with or without a fire. With or without wine. But probably with Tivo. xoxo, hopelessly yours
I’m a sucker for a parody. Now, obviously the best parody is two fold. What fold you ask? (1) funnier (2) made with children Thankfully, I stumbled upon one that suits those qualifications to a T. So, take a break from your busy week and enjoy this little gem about Project Runway. I’m not sure…
