Okay, so maybe I am an old, old, boring lady, but I just have to share about an amazing addition to my life. An addition to the household cleaning part of my life: the Woolite Pod. This thing is freaking amazing. I saw the commercial (squeeze, rub, groom, and done!)-- it's this little pod thing with a brush on the bottom. You squeeze it, and ( Read more... )

One thing I have been wanting and have not bought myself: an under-the-counter cd/radio/tape player. I love those things. Or a small portable tape recorder. Mine fell off the back of the couch one too many times and stopped working. (Read more... )

It's that time of year again! Please fill out the survey below. I need to start Christmas shopping. Feel free to cut and paste your questionnaire from last year if it's still accurate ( Read more... )

So I'm not exactly sure why, but I am really, really happy that the Tigers beat the Yankees. I don't even care at all about baseball, but it still just warms my little heart that the TIGERS beat the YANKEES. Maybe living in Boston for so long has gotten me a low-level hatred for the Yankees, which is weird since I haven't picked up any affection ( Read more... )

So the latest thing I received from Campus Crusade for Christ included a glossy booklet, and a letter. The letter described the new branch of CCC presented in the brochure, the Great Commission Foundation. It said, "I want to extend a special invitation to friends like you, whose estates are worth a significant amount ($3 million or more) that ( Read more... )

I just replied to an evite, and the screen that follows any response requests that you read the message from "our sponsor below". I know that the "below" applies to the location of the message, not the sponsor, but every single time it conjures up Screwtape Letters, where Wormwood refers to the devil as "our father below." I think maybe they need ( Read more... )

So I went to CVS the other day to buy candy for my office. We all love candy, and eat it all the time. Some people think this is weird, since we are fitness professionals and all that, but really we mostly work out just so we can eat candy. So I pick out $10 of peanut M & M's, Snickers, Milky Ways, Kit Kats, etc, and check out. Since I'm super ( Read more... )

So today I'm in my office, trying to settle the drama of the weekend and do payroll, when I notice a mouse in the corner of my office. We all freak out, and it runs back and forth behind the file cabinet and the water cooler. I called the control center, and they give me the number of the exterminator (not the terminator, as I always call him). ( Read more... )

So one of the girls I am starting to mentor told me the other day that she had been drinking (she's 16) and smoking pot. She had gotten really convicted about it and has been feeling awful ever since-- feeling like she let God down as an example, like she will never be able to influence her friends for good anymore, like her testimony is ( Read more... )
