Today I got stuck in the need to do laundry trap. You know - when everything you own (including that stuff) is dirty? So you’ve literally got nothing to wear until you do the wash.

I had to stay in my pajamas (such a hardship) until my clothes were washed and dried.

There is an easy way to prevent this; actually two.

Tomorrow most of us in the United States will celebrate Thanksgiving.

I am grateful for many things this year: my home and family, everyone’s health, my friends, and my business.

All of you - my readers - are on that list too. I am grateful for each and every one of you - for the questions you ask and the comments you make, and for the things that you’ve taught me.

I was sitting at my desk tonight trying to decide what to write about. (Suggestions are always welcome).

Re-decorating? No.

While that’s true, it’s not the entire truth.

I got my hair cut yesterday. Big deal, right? Actually, it was a big deal, because the last time I was in a salon was August. Since my hair is on the short side and grows quickly, 3 months was way too long to wait.

The final straw came the other day when I got done blow drying my hair. Have you ever seen that picture of Albert Einstein, with the wild gray hair? He was in my bathroom mirror. Time for a cut and color!
