Getting a Little Personal

Post Script to yesterday's activity: Last night we went to IKEA and bought a couple of wood rectangular boxes to put in that huge drawer that holds all the kitchen gadgets. I now have my messiest drawer divided into two messiest drawers! One side holds all the long gadgets like rolling pins, spatulas, turkey baster, teflon spoons, non-teflon spoons, etc. The other side holds everything else. This cuts down my digging time much more than half. I now know which side to start sorting. Really, it looks much, much better. I took a picture but decided it would require a "before" and "after" picture to truly appreciate the improvement and I don't want to get that personal on a blogspot. I'd rather discuss my last pap smear than share something as intimate as my drawers. A great bonus was that in order to fit the containers into the drawer, the drawer had to be removed. I found a treasure trove of lost items! It was like Christmas! Two forks, an old straw, a bouncy ball, a piece of plastic that I know must be important somewhere, dust bunnies... My life is now complete.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
