There is no excuse for sitting around. We all need down time, but there are so many productive ways to use that down time that it is a wonder the television was invented at all. If it were not for my own enjoyment of Dr. Who and Robin Hood then I would probably have my…
There are six glass or crystal bowls in my cabinet. This does not include the nice plastic, ceramic and silver bowls in my other cabinet. I love to entertain, but even I think this is a bit over the top. I’m going to blame it on our wedding (even if it was almost 15 years…
We have a mixed marriage – I am an optimist, my husband is half pessimist half pragmatist. I am a reforming clutter bug. My husband is obsessive about having no clutter (and just as insistent that everything is MINE that is “cluttering” up the house). I am a DIYer and my husband doesn’t even want…

This blog is getting regular visitors – although nothing like some of the sites that I visit. And there has even been an offer to run some ads on the site – although the offer was almost insulting. It makes me wonder if it’s possible to have a website that makes money that doesn’t focus…
I am a good wife, in my mind anyway. I want to do the things that will push me to the head of the class. I want to cook three meals a day, keep the house spick and span, and entertain. It just seems that my wants have a hard time keeping up with reality….
