Bits and Pieces #9

Well, it’s time once again to get rid of some of that random stuff buzzing around in my consciousness.  This time I’ve got an update, an observation and an opinion.  So, here goes…

A Dirty Secret

First off, I’m no fanatic “Suzy Homemaker,” but I do like things clean and tidy.  That’s why I absolutely love reading articles that give tips and hints on how to make cleaning easier.  But, I have never originated one…until now.
It’s important to me that my kitchen is as clean as it can possibly be.  I [...]

Near the first of the month, I wrote this post on the new show “Dating in the Dark.”  To briefly recap the premise for those of you who didn’t read it, three men and three women are segregated in a house and come together only in a common room that is pitch black.  We see [...]

On Cloud Patrol – Episode 7

A “Little” Auto Love

I never cease to be amazed at how boring most cars on the road are these days!  So many are carbon copies of each other that it drives me crazy!  I’ve never been someone who shops for cars with an eye to luxury or performance.  No, what matters to me is…uniqueness!  In my case that [...]

As The Yucca Turns…

Okay, yeah, I can hear you now, saying, “Not another yucca post!  What is it with this woman and her damned yuccas?”
Well, let me tell you.  I left a part of my heart in New Mexico, a place where I felt an immediate attachment the moment I first visited.  It was where my little sister [...]

Gotta Move!

I was sitting at a stoplight yesterday, staring at the car in front of me and I realized that we must have the most boring license plates in the history of the world!

I mean, look at it!  No color to speak of and that minuscule bird at the bottom!  My license plate holder covers the [...]
