Domestic Goddess

I would look like such a domestic goddess in this fabulous apron. It’s bright, slenderizing, a touch retro, and even better, would cover my bosom. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been on an apron kick lately. Everytime I go to the fabric store I have to talk myself out of buying a [...]

Flea Bitten

Why on earth do people find my site when they’re searching for “how long flea bites itch”? I can understand why they would want to know, I mean, the damned things are awfully itchy. But I’m not entirely sure why I’ve gotten not just one, but two hits on that search phrase. It’s not like [...]

He Said, She Said

When you have to make a call based on information from two unreliable sources, how do you choose? What if both are lax and notoriously self-serving? I’d like to say I would pick the lesser of two evils, but really, is there always one?

Vacation’s Over

I’m officially back to work today. And as much as I loved the time I spent with my family in Michigan, the day I spent not doing anything important yesterday was exactly what I needed. Except that now I want another day just like that. I guess that’s what most people call Saturday…

Monday Madness

I have very little patience for inane publisher problems today. I’ve had to rewrite numerous e-mails to remove all traces of my snarky attitude and it’s making them take even longer. Jon and I showed up to Alex and Tabitha’s wedding on Saturday at the time appointed on the official Web site. Turns out it [...]

I Am…

Copy and paste into your own, complete the phrase, and post me a comment if you do it! Can’t wait to see your answers! I AM: tired and cranky I WANT: a long nap in a warm bed I HAVE: trouble believing it’s not later than 5pm I WISH: I could make cute doodles I [...]

Locked In

I just renewed criminalgrace.com until the year 2011. That date is nearly incomprehensible to me, despite the fact that it only five years away. 2011. It sounds so futuristic. But rest assured, this criminal mastermind will have a dedicated home on the Web until then.

A Joyous Occasion

My little sister is engaged! And I don’t think she could’ve said yes to a better guy. I’ve known Rob since high school and spent far too much time with him in marching band. Now instead of being his old section leader, I get to be his sister. He was a great guy then, but [...]

Throng Tha Throng Throng Throng

Groceries stores are apparently the hip place for old people to hang out. I decided to make a quick stop during my lunch break to stock up on cheap soda and was confronted with throngs of the elderly at every turn. It started in the parking lot, full of over-sized American sedans. The only empty [...]
