Taking the ordinary to the extraordinary one small change at a time.
Allow me to share a few interesting links I accidentally stumbled on while working this week. No, really, I was working, for reals. The BBB Craft Sisters have a new Hunt, Gather and Host post on Design Sponge.... Quick Jams and Preserves Party. I so want to do this and I have my recent Ball Jar obsession to... Continue Reading →
Yep, not a one. Martha (genuflect) would have had several lists compiled. And they would have been an awesome series of lists. They would have been on several spreadsheets with cross-references to other lists and other holidays and birthdays. I bet they would be color coded. But sadly I am not Martha. (Though I will be attending... Continue Reading →
Oh Javier Bardem, what can I say? I want to see you in Biutiful, I really do. But that was the unrealistic me who included you on my Netflix queue. The same one that mistakenly purchases rice milk or granola bars at the grocery store. I really think I am going to enjoy them but really, they... Continue Reading →
Sadie and I had an awesome time the other night hanging out with our neighbors and enjoying some post-earthquake beers on the front stoop. Good times were had late into the night. Sadly, the next morning was not quite as awesome.
It appears I have not been practicing what I preach. After writing yesterday's post on the necessity of maintaining a proper gift pantry I decided to do a quick inventory of my own. It was not pretty. A few ornaments, candles, a frame, some soap and a few children's books and puzzles. It was pathetic. If... Continue Reading →
Yeah, give or take a day, the holiday season is around the corner. Sure, we have not even finished summer and Halloween and Thanksgiving are way before Christmas. But Halloween and Thanksgiving do not require spending money we do not have to impress people we don't necessarily care about because they happened to work their... Continue Reading →
I was driving home on Sunday afternoon after visiting my Dad in Blacksburg, Va. About two hours in I found myself sitting in a 3-mile backup on Interstate 81. My fellow travelers and I were stuck in one of those lovely areas where radio reception is not good, and when there is decent reception the music, well, it is... Continue Reading →
See that? That there to the left? It's a beer. A lovely, light, peachy beer. I know, I couldn't believe it myself. And if there is nothing better than a perfectly ripe white peach on a perfectly cool summer's day than there is nothing even more perfect than an ice-cold R.J. Rockers Son of a Peach ale on a...

This is the expression on Sadie's face when she wakes me up in the morning. It's like she is looking into your soul and seeing every bad thing you ever did. It can be a wee bit startling at dawn's early light (or for me, 9ish.) I believe I have not used my snooze button in more than... Continue Reading →
