I did a stupid thing today. I went to Martha Stewart online. She has this countdown to Halloween where she'll e-mail (I say that as if she's the one who actually e-mails) a new idea for Halloween every day. Well, sign me up! Who cares that it's 90 degrees today? What's it matter that I have a sunburn from mowing the lawn? Bring on the holiday decor! Anyone remember this from Pottery Barn's … [Read more...]
Laundry crisis
Did ya notice I was gone? We went away for the weekend to see some family. Our secondary reason for going away is that our dryer is broken--kaput--finito--dead.

Indiana Jones Birthday
In my earlier birthday posts, I have made it clear that birthday parties around here are a lot of work. I promised myself and my husband that "this year, I'm cutting back".
