You know you are getting old when you have to start brushing your eyebrows. I still don't have the nose hair problem and my ears seem to be hair free but suddenly my eyebrows look like Andy Rooney's. I'm not really happy about this. Related articles by Zemanta The Eyebrow Mistakes You're Making (totalbeauty.com) Skin Deep: After Overplucking, It's Time to Call the Professionals (nytimes.com)
Before today's post begins please be sure to check out my newest sponsor, Stormsister Spatique, not only are they a really cool spatique with some awesome and unique products but they are a local storefront as well. I can't tell you how cool it is to have an advertiser from a shop in my hometown. Don't let that dissuade you from visiting there if you
I've had it. I can't stand it anymore. So I'm going to capitalize on it. What is it? The noise and traffic generated by the construction the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport is doing. Because their runway is under construction all landing flights have been rerouted directly over my house. Every two minutes a plane roars overhead. This is supposed to go on through October but
My daughter lost her second tooth yesterday. It was not even remotely close to the drama we had with the first tooth in fact I didn't even know it was loose.

I need to have a garage sale. I desperately need to have a garage sale. Somewhere along the line I was designated the keeper of things in our family. Probably because I am the only one who is not a pack rat and I have the room. I don't anymore. Sure I have hung onto my roller skates and my vinyl records even though I
After many people sent me links to blankets and fabric and looking online for two hours I could not find the right fabric. Daughter and I went to the fabric store and she picked out two different patterns for her new blankie. She picked out elephants with a blue background and babies in pastels on a white background. She chose dark red and dark blue
The other night as I was working on my post about removal companies in the UK, I was startled to hear my daughter crying, loudly. She had been in bed for about a half hour so the house was quiet and I thought she was asleep. It was a real cry, not the kind of cry that means I don't want to go to bed
