Come… gather round the campfire. Let me tell you a tale of an incredible woman… a woman who knew the value of a dollar and a good coupon. Some say she was a goddess, sent down from the heavens to inspire the weary sisters who’ve been downsized. Some say she is a myth, created by […]

Time is running out to enter the Banner Ad contest! And then you’ll be kicking yourself that you didn’t make me a banner ad. You know you will. Go. Do it now. I’ll wait. See. I waited. Now doesn’t that feel better, knowing that you finished up that nagging little project. Good job. Now mail […]

Have you entered the Banner Ad contest? Have you? Because all the cool people are doing it. And you’re cool. Right? So make me a banner ad and then send it to me before Saturday and I’ll put it on my page. Come on. You know you want to. Sometimes I have nothing to say, […]

Oh dear Lord where to begin? It’s so very hard to keep a diary and entertain tens of readers when your life is as boring as sin. I haven’t made the cookies yet. I was planning on it tonight, but instead Esteban hauled me to the Maul (TM K.Lo) so that he could have a […]

We ate it on Tuesday and Wednesday night when I discovered that while my mouth adored the combination of ground sirloin, beans (kidney […]

So my JournalCon swag idea. I told you all about how I had decided against the temporary tattoos and the little yoyos with decoupage Weetabix paraphernalia on them? Because that was too hard or sketchy on whether or not people would actually want them? So I came up with a new idea: Play Doh. Yes. […]

I have an announcement to make: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Summer Slacker Girl has left the building. And let me tell you how I have come to this conclusion: I am at this very moment wearing socks. I’m looking forward to cleaning the living room tonight because it makes me insane to sit in there […]

I’ll bet you’re just losing sleep at night, wondering what happened to the Nut saga. Client: I don’t understand this question about the snack nuts. Weetabix: Well, nuts are classified four ways. Nuts in cans, nuts in jars, nuts in bags and unshelled. Client: What does ‘unshelled’ mean? Out of the shell? Weetabix: Um…. no, […]

So much to say. I went to work for a while yesterday, as I detailed in yesterday’s entry, and then scootled home to take a shower and get ready for our evening of merriment. My very excellent friend Markus (the only person to ever write a guest entry on this page) is moving to North […]
