I'm finally ready to start painting my kitchen cabinets. I've been putting it off since I got the condo in 2008. I have a brief window in Oct to do them - when the weather is not too hot and not too cold, so I can paint all the cabinet faces in the garage. I was just going to paint them, but recently Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations has come out, ( Read more... )

eBay is a trap! I've spent all night organizing my foreign stamps to sell and I looked up Japanese stamps to see if they have any value. OMG there are Hello Kitty stamps from Japan!!! So now I will not be able to rest until I have these Hello Kitty stamps (and there are tons of different ones). The other day I was looking up something else that I ( Read more... )

My stamp collection is still driving me nuts. How long have I been trying to sell it now? I've been selling everything in my house that isn't nailed down - everything except my guitar picks and my jewelry (well I already sold tons of it). I've apparently been collecting stamps since 1982! I used to get the commemorative stamp books as Christmas ( Read more... )

I'm starting to think astrology is more accurate than the Meyers Brigg test. I took yet another one of thoses tests and this time I came up as: ISFP, which is the total opposite of the last test. The only thing I know for sure is that I'm an introvert. If someone asks my type I'll just say I'm a Libra. Nothing describes me more accurately than ( Read more... )

I was trying to figure out which Meyers Brigg personality I am because I'm always reading about people talking about their "type" and I don't remember mine. I know I took the test in college and I can't remember which type I was - I know it was I (Introverted) and J (Judging) but I can't remember which way I swung when it came to the other two. So ( Read more... )

Did you know you can download MP3s from the library? I know all libraries are different, but if I go to my library website, I can download 3 free MP3s a week. They have a lot of music - mostly stuff I don't like - but I found one of the albums I was looking for. Luckily it's only an EP! Of course you can also rent CDs at the library, but the one ( Read more... )

I've already sold off a bunch of my CDs, and now I'm wondering if I should sell more of them and just go digital. Most of my CDs are crap and sell for 1 cent on Amazon, so I'd make like $1 after shipping, which means it's worth keeping them. At the used record store, they would probably also be worth $1.

I found one that's selling for $33 so it ( Read more... )

Why did no one ever tell me you can buy jars of garlic cloves? I used to try to eat raw garlic cloves but it didn't work out so well and I don't want to bother with garlic pills. I just discovered the jars of garlic cloves today. And why did I not know you could buy slices of jalepenos in jars???? I am adding these two things to my list of things ( Read more... )

CATS
I don't want to jinx it, but my cat hasn't thrown up in a few days now! I have spend about 10 hours researching cat vomit, and the subject is sooo complicated! Since cats shed even more than normal in the spring I've been brushing her every day with the Furminator and of course getting a golf ball sized hairball off her every day. Then I ( Read more... )

Cat Vomit

The only thing that sucks about having cats is that as they get older they get health problems! My cats are the only ones I've ever owned so I have never had to deal with cat issues before. When I first got the cats I was hoping that by the time they got older I would have plenty of money to pay for all their vet bills. Sadly I am making ( Read more... )
