50/50/50 Challenge
I’m a little reluctant to put this out there since it is pretty ambitious. My birthday is on the ninth. I will be 49 which means that I will be entering my 50th year. My goal this year is to complete my own 50/50/50 Challenge. I want to knit 50 scarves, read 50 books and […]
Product Review: Philosophy Peppermint Bark Lip Shine
This is a great gloss– sheer and non-sticky in a festive shade of red. It’s red not RED so it can be worn to work or on errands without looking too done and it tastes delicious. I picked it up at Sephora on last weekend’s mall outing. K found some cute things at Garage, a […]
There’s an App for That – Jesusy Edition
Olive Tree Bible Reader http://www.olivetree.com/resources/free/ This is actually a Bible Reader for the iPhone. It also comes in Droid and Blackberry editions.

What Not To Wear
I’m convinced that if a woman came on there who was so large that she was unable to wear anything but a bedsheet since the Reagan administration, Stacey would stand behind her, place her hands in the vicinity of her ribcage and say, “Look how narrow you are through here.” http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/what-not-to-wear/
Millionaire Matchmaker – Most Distasteful Millionaires Ever
I’ve been sick most of this week, so this is likely too boring for words. I have mostly been sleeping and working. I did stay up for Millionaire Matchmaker. They had the most unpleasant millionaire guests this week. There was a priggish troll of a gay man and a Brooklyn drunk who was incapable of […]
I’ll take Potpourri for $500, Alex

So when your husband asks how long the kettle has been boiling…
He probably doesn’t want to hear, “Umm…Truman Administration?” Just demonstrating that I am living the “something shiny” lifestyle. I don’t close the spout because the whistling annoys me, but then I burn the kettle out. On the cello front, I’m currently working on Ode to Joy and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Watching Project Runway. Gretchen’s […]
I Know Why The Caged Bird Tweets
The wife of Liu Xiaobo, this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner was placed under house arrest and her phone access was cut. She was able to issue twitter updates, but apparently that is gone now as well. He was instrumental in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protest, actually preventing student deaths by convincing protesters to disburse. […]
Oh Kayne, Why Must You Be Such An Ed Hardy?
I’ve always enjoyed your music, but now when I hear you on my iPod now, all I can think of is the VMA puppy-kicking episode. I discovered that I can flat-iron the Florence Henderson out of my current haircut, so I may be able to live with it until it grows out. Getting ready for […]
