Five Blogs You Should Read (After You Read Ours)

March 30, 2010

Even before Nancy and I started this blog, I was an avid reader of other people’s blogs.  And I still am.  I probably track about fifty regularly and look for new ones every day.  I’m not big on the “hottest celebrity gossip.”  I mean really, who cares?  But I do like learning new things and [...]

Yes, I Do Wear Makeup…

March 22, 2010

Love it!! Ladies, let’s talk mascara.  Are you happy with yours?  I was until just my luck, Cover Girl or L’Oreal or Maybelline (all the writing was worn off and I had no idea what brand it was) discontinued my particular product.  It had a little comb, not a brush, and was recommended by a [...]

It’s pretty overwhelming to sift through the amount of information available online. In my ramblings across the world wide web, I’ve bookmarked hundreds of sites I’ve never gone back to.

March 9, 2010

I had a good moment last week.  Well, I probably had more than one.  But since this one moment was brought on by a delivery from Amazon, it’s the perfect thing to talk about… Since the first of the year, I’ve been drinking a double espresso every morning.  I added this to my routine because [...]

10,000 Steps

March 5, 2010

I’m guessing most of you have heard the frequently recommended exercise goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. A long time ago I used a pedometer and recently I decided to dig it out and start using it again. But, the battery was dead, the hinge half broken and I remembered that it was the [...]

I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar…

March 2, 2010

I had all good intentions to post a well-informed missive about the benefits of grabbing a package of furniture sliders to keep in your junk drawer because they make moving anything heavy SO MUCH EASIER.  Something that makes life easier.  What a concept. That was before the emergency room last night.  I am now so [...]
