Surprisingly, I don’t make a lot of gravy.

I’ve been thinking a lot about composting lately. Sustainable Dave has worms doing his composting right in his basement, but that’s a little too creepy for me. I’ve thought about having a worm composter right outside our back door, because then I could just toss the scraps right after I’ve scooped them from the cutting [...]

Keep it secret.

Keep it safe. Remember the purse fiasco a while back? Well, it was the perfect opportunity for me to justify a gadget purchase. I saw the Cash Can a few months ago, and now I have one! Yessir, even though I may forget my wallet, I’ll still have an origamied greenback dangling from my keys. [...]

the required quarter

My undying thanks to Lloyd, who took over posting duties this week since I wasn’t feeling well (a cold, a fever, a rash, then a different, more sinister cold).

Can you see the shuffle?

Good thing my boss doesn’t read this, or I’d make her pretty mad. She’s got this classroom rating thing that says it would be good for children to have a listening center. Phewsh. (That’s a scoffing sound.) Have you ever seen classroom listening centers? They’re nothing like they seem in the catalogs. Headphones all a-tangle, [...]
