Good to the First Cup Update…

About a week ago, my husband went with me to purchase my Keurig B70 Platinum Single-Serve Coffee Brewer. It’s my Christmas present, but I wanted it before my family came over for a Christmas party at our house. You know – so I could show off. We purchased it at Bed, Bath & Beyond since we had a 20% off coupon that saved us $40. Once home with my prize, my husband unpacked it for me. I had him do this in case I hated it and wanted to return it.…

Elvis Uses My Dry Cleaner

Running errands the other day, I stopped by to pick up my dry cleaning. As I’m paying I notice a jumpsuit hanging alone in the back of the store. Perhaps it was being prepared for the process or maybe it was just finished and not bagged yet. Who knows? The one thing I do know, it was covered in bright stones and glittery beads around the shoulders, cuffs and pant legs. The suit was snowy white and had a high collar that stood up without the need of starch. I…

Nothing Says “Spring” Like an Open Flame

The weather this year has been crazy. You will be in shorts one day and shoveling your driveway the next. But when I got home from gymnastics class with the girls last Thursday, I couldn’t believe how nice the weather was. I announced, “I’m grilling out!” to cheers from both girls. I had to spend a few minutes sprucing up Bruce All Meaty (my grill) for a new season. But, in no time I had corn on the side burner, broccoli in a foil pouch to steam, and cheesy grillers…

Today, the sun was out, the air was warm and me, Allyson & Sierra were sitting out on the front porch. I decided to sweep out the garage and tidy up the accumulations from winter. I was putting things in bags to go to Goodwill and wiping down months of dust from the recycle bins. Allyson pulled the toys, scooters, hula hoops and other assorted items away from the wall so I could sweep out the winter doldrums. Once the floor was free of debris, I began putting things back…

The books are based on a private invesitgator named Kinsey Millhone. Each book is titled for a letter of the alphabet – A is for Alibi, B is for Burglar, and so on. So, Mom calls me in mid November to tell me the new book is out – S is for Silence. I did some research and discovered it would not be out until December 6th, but I looked online for a large print edition to pre-order. My mother can no longer read the regular prints. I couldn’t find…
