I just saw an ad for a local liquor store that offers a senior discount for people over 55. I think I'll throw some business their way because I love that so much (and because their ad included a 15% off coupon).

I wasn't hungry for my lunch today because I'd eaten a large portion of pina colada cupcake batter right before lunch, raw eggs and all. Heh heh heh. It was really good and I get a perverse thrill out of doing things I know would horrify media doctors, magazine writers and Martha Stewart. They'd be horrified at what will no doubt be consumed at ( Read more... )

I am as happy as a tiny tot who's just been visited by Santa! We have a friend in our ballroom dance class who also manages our town's library used bookstore (easily the best thing about our town). He mentioned getting in some Annette Funicello records and how he didn't think anyone would want them. WRONG! We started panting, so he brought them ( Read more... )

It's Tori Spelling's eBay estate sale! My first thought was "isn't she a little...um...alive to be having an estate sale?", but, hey, what do I know?

No doubt I'm way behind the times and you've already seen this before, but I'm utterly enthralled. A black velvet Lionel Ritchie, found on the street no less. Big Trash Week (okay, it's really called Spring Cleanup Week) is coming soon and I can't wait! I heart driving around and cruising everybody's trash. We've gotten some amazing stuff that ( Read more... )

I've been in a terrible mood for most of this day and it's being made worse by the fact that I don't know what to do to get myself out of it, short of getting drunk, which is just not a long-term solution and, besides, I really don't want to wake up tomorrow morning hung over. Our house got egged last night and they had to come onto our property ( Read more... )

I was pawing through paintings in our Salvation Army today when this yuppie scum and her yuppie scum friend practically knock me over trying to get to some frames. One says to the other, "I want these. I'm going to paint them white," over and over again. Her friend says they seem "overpriced." So she replies "I'm going to find the manager and ( Read more... )

I just finished making this swimsuit (although I think I'd be hard pressed to actually swim in it)! I'm so happy with it! I used red fabric with white polka dots and I even found some matching espadrilles at Payless. If JetBlue can manage to get us to Cancun without incident I can debut the outfit!

Our ongoing car nightmare is starting to take on the feel of something dramatized by Sartre. The problem (which I've completely lost track of at this point--IAC motor?) keeps not getting fixed, or it gets fixed for a day, then proceeds to break again. The check engine light has now been on for four months and the car has been in for repair four ( Read more... )

I just opened a birthday gift from a friend and was blown away to find a pair of earrings previously owned by Bette Davis (certificate of authenticity included).

I love presents--getting and giving!
