On Thursday, I mentioned all the people, felines, and ideas for whom/which I am thankful.
Today, I shall lay praise (ahem, rather tongue-in-cheek) on inanimate objects.
Thankful…
…for hardwood floors. Not only is cat vomit much easier to clean up, sweeping and vacuuming takes about twenty minutes of my time once a week. It allows me more time [...]

I’m just saying…
This is so much better than the caveman or gecko commercials from Geico.

Help Me Help Others in November.
This isn’t my idea. This isn’t an original idea. But when Hotfessional did it last month for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I knew I had to do it in November.
November is American Diabetes Month. And I’m asking you to help me help others.
For every comment I receive between the dates of November 1 and 30, [...]

I had NO idea.
Up until very recently, I had no idea that…
iPhone apps include a BabyTracker, keeping tabs on diaper changes and feedings and sleep patterns, as I discovered when I visited my brother, sister-in-law and their infant twins recently.

Growing and changing.
As I have mentioned before, I’m not your typical girl.
You should see me when I go out the door for work every morning. No hair product, no make-up, usually wearing a loose blouse and jeans. Part of it has to do with the casual work environment at my company, part of it has to do [...]

Crunchy challenge.
We’re not perfect when it comes to waste.
We don’t recycle everything we should, only glass and plastic on a weekly basis. And there is the occasional cardboard box run to the city recycling bin.

Show and Tell: Bicentennial Baby
Aww, look at the cute baby Rachel. Hard to believe that I was ever the size my newborn nieces are now, isn’t it?
Ok, ok. That’s not what this show-and-tell is about. It’s that stuffed red-white-and-blue elephant in the corner with “76″ all over the freaking place, made by a family friend upon my birth in [...]

Start of rant.
This might come as a surprise to some because I’ve never spoken up before, but I despise the “n” word. I don’t use it, I don’t want to hear it, and I most certainly don’t want it staring back at me from the sidewalk at my neighborhood bus stop.
Why, WHY, in this day [...]

The doorbell rang, but I was too lazy to get up and answer it. I figured it was some solicitor hoping to run into a homeowner in the middle of a Thursday. Normally, I am not home in the middle of a Thursday, but I woke up with a massive sinus headache and slept most [...]
