Today is the third anniversary of my brother-in-law, Kevin’s death. He was only 21; it was a motorcycle accident. I’m just sitting here thinking about him. He was such a nice kid.
He had a side business repairing computers and setting up networks and all that stuff. He did the one at our office. After he died, [...]

Altered Thrift Store Find and Random Organization.
Posted in Craft Projects on January 25, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I signed up for a swap wherein each person is supposed to alter something they find at the thrift store. First, I have to tell you about my local thrift store because I think it’s so cool. I live in a smallish town where none of the churches are really big enough to support a [...]

My husband called me at work today and asked, “What takes red food coloring out?” I asked back, “Out of what?”
Let me show you some pictures and you can fill in the rest of the conversation for yourself.
Poor Meat was totally beside himself. He thought they were going to be stuck home all day because, [...]

First of all, isn’t my new header awesome? My friend Tammy did it. She doesn’t have a blog, but she should. She’s very funny freaking hilarious. (I have funny friends. I figure if I hang out with funny people then other people will think I’m funny too.)
Anyway, onto Helpful Hints from Mary. I spent my [...]

Seriously. You are not allowed to laugh at my sewing attempts. You are not even allowed to smirk. Joy, I see you smirking! Just because you sew lovely creations every day doesn’t mean you can smirk at me!
First I should give you some background. I can’t sew. And I finally realized that it might not [...]
Guest Blogger – My Friend Letty

If you read the comments that people leave on my blog, you might have noticed some from Letty. She’s a dear friend and we’ve known each other since probably Kindergarten. Letty sends me the funniest emails – usually about our past dorkiness – so I’ve been trying to talk her into starting her own blog. [...]

When I was expecting Shelby, people would tell me all the time, “Your life is going to change after the little one is born.” I always had to fight back an overwhelming urge to fake faint from the shock of that! Who knew, right? It would make Meat Galore mad when people told him that. [...]
Gloriously Bad Fabulous Inventions
Posted in Funny, Funny Posts, tagged childhood memory, Humor, Random on January 11, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Sometimes I see an invention and I think, “Okay, that has to be the dumbest thing I ever saw.” But, upon further reflection, I realize that it might actually be genius. I guess genius sometimes comes disguised as stupid inventions. Take, for instance, these slippers I found in my mom’s latest Current Catalog.
But wait! They [...]

I was at a thrift store junk shop in the next town over and stumbled upon this book (sorry for the dark picture, my flash was giving me woes and making a glare):
I was super-excited. Mostly because I thought it was a how-to book. I figured that the 82 cents they wanted for it was [...]

I know this will surprise you all since I’m so crafty and Martha-y and all that; but sometimes my crafts just don’t turn out all that well. What we have here is a glittered nightmare.
It was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day garland. I do still kind of like the birds though, I wish I [...]
