I gave up on Black Friday a long time ago. There, I said it. I have come out of the shopping closet and showed my true colors. There really is nothing I find appealing about Black Friday, and the deals these days simply are just not worth it. I would love […]

I read an article over the weekend that said the average American will spend $127.00 on Valentine’s Day stuff. This web site http://retailindustry.about.com/od/sales_holiday/a/valentines_day.htm has very interesting stats….
Now all that is fine and good but what drives me to want to smack someone with a Hallmark card is this…do we women NEED more stress??? Isn’t our […]

This morning I experienced something that really made me laugh. I wouldn’t say this necessarily has to be something that has to go, but I couldn’t not share it here.
Valentines Day was most definitely invented by a woman. I don’t have any historical research to back this up, but even if you show […]

I am guessing most people agree, we work hard for our chance to enjoy our time off. Isn’t that a big part of working? I look forward to holidays. Time with my family. Having fun with friends. Not having a schedule, just relaxing and having fun. Why is it that more times than not this […]

I recently read another blog that had some excellent writing on their personal experiences with kids getting completely spoiled by their parents on Christmas and other holidays. Unfortunately the blog used a fair amount of cursing to get their point across, so I don’t feel all that inclined to link to it from this blog. […]

I first used the word “fragile” in the title of this rant, but I thought weak was more appropriate. I make that note because I am sure I would have plenty of people reminding me that light bulbs are by nature fragile, so take care. I am not talking about the fact that if you […]

I have to hedge this one a bit actually because I really do enjoy talking about photography and I am never one known to not share what knowledge I have. For those of you that don’t read between the lines, you get me started talking on this subject and you have to walk away […]

This post builds on my comments about really liking to receive gifts, and is perhaps a downside of the season in my view. If you are a late shopper, then this really doesn’t apply to you. Not only do I like receiving gifts, I hate waiting until Christmas Day for all the gifts to get […]
