A few weeks ago, I preformed a much overdue make-up cleanse. I chucked anything I couldn’t remember purchasing, including some pretty questionable compacts dating back to my wedding and various free samples that never worked for me anyway. My makeup drawer was a clean slate and I excitedly I trotted off to Sephora to have [...]

1. Put your house on the market.
2. Lovingly let him sleep in until 10:00am on a Sunday.
3. Awake him and tell him you need just a half hour of sleep before you go house-hunting. You are so tired.

I have always been completely unable to put things together. I think I must be missing some portion of the brain that enables one to successfully follow directions and produce a finished piece of work. I’ve pathetically payed Ikea employees to put their cheapo furniture together, thus totally defeating the bargain prices. Last year, after [...]

I am sharing this picture of last month’s birthday cake for two reasons:
1. I was not blogging back then, and did not have an opportunity to show it off, and2. Until now the true story of the cake has been untold.
