These Are LITERALLY (some) Of My Biggest Pet Peeves

Let’s start with the title: 1). Was the YouTube video so funny that you “literally died of laughter”? Laughing to death sounds like a good way to go but chances are you’re still alive and kicking,even after watching a pranks compilation.

Love In The Middle Of The Night (not like that)

I’ve written some flowery blogs entitled “The Love Of My Life”. I do love the guy! He’s funny, he’s caring and he (usually) gets me. I don’t want to be misleading and act as if everything ‘comes up roses’ all of the time. It certainly does not. When we fight, we fight. Afterwards, I usually lock myself … Continue reading →

I’m A Weirdo (just like my Grandma)

This observation is certainly not a revelation but the fact that I’m super weird hit me yesterday as I caught myself scooping a hand full of hazelnut half and half containers in to my over sized bag at the restaurant I was eating at.

Free Business/Graphic Design Resource (I love this download)

I mentioned in a previous post that I am in the process of launching my own (very small) lotion bar business. I have the product and containers but I needed a logo in order to make it official. I don’t want anything fancy, just a simple label that clearly denotes what I’m selling, that I … Continue reading →

Just Be Nice (The Golden Rule Is Golden)

I have stated before that I sometimes work catering gigs to supplement my income. I typically enjoy the work as it allows me to be the “people person” that I am while making some extra cash. 9 times out of 10, the function is a Wedding and guests are extra polite as they enjoy their … Continue reading →

Let me explain. To me the fair is an opportunity for people watching. We happily pay the … Continue reading →
