I don’t know why.  Perhaps it’s because I’ve had a super-shitty day.  Or perhaps I just have too much time on my hands to sit and stew on these things.  Or maybe, heaven forbid, my husband is right and there is just nothing left to kill off the stupid people in this world so they [...]

On my last trip to Costco, I bought a case of organic toaster pastries (pop-tarts, for those of us in the know).  Why, you ask, would I buy such a thing?  It is because I have decided to become more socially aware.
Just kidding.  Got you though, didn’t I?
The real reason is that they were on [...]

I love being a redneck.  For instance, if you are a redneck, it is perfectly acceptable to use the phrase “stuff ‘n such.”  So it’s cool.
Anyway, I went out on my front deck this evening to stain my deck and came upon the coolest thing ever!  Our neighborhood has some sort of gnat infestation.  My [...]

Don’t you like how I end all my post titles with a period?  There’s just something about periods; they are a much better punctuation mark than, say, a superfluous apostrophe.  I think it really adds a touch of class to my blog!
Anyway, for this Thursday’s Vintage Thingie, I’m presenting … my daughter!  Sort of.  Actually, [...]

I was at Walgreen’s on Friday afternoon to get some contact lens solution because they had it on sale and I had a $2.00 coupon.  That never happens to me.  You know all those jingo moms who insist that they check the store ads and use coupons and get double coupons so they get $482 [...]

I was so happy about the number of people who checked out my Spoon last week on Vintage Thingie Thursday!  Thank you all for looking and for all your wonderful comments.
This week I chose some of the tools of my trade; which is designing concrete formwork systems for commercial buildings.
The first picture is of a [...]

I believe that I have happened upon a law of nature that Sir Isaac Newton seems to have overlooked.  I call it Newton’s 4th Law.  And it’s the best law ever!  Newton’s 4th Law will forever get you out of housework.  The basic premise is that the mess in your home has to eventually reach [...]
