I have to say, K-Mart one-up’d everyone on that ad. Too funny. I’m not sure how likely I will be to go shop there, even after the ad, but it certainly is garnering a lot of internet chatter. Good for them. Now, I’m off to ship my pants!
Why do I do this to myself? I load my life up with so much “stuff” and I wonder why I never have any time for myself… So, CampNaNoWriMo starts tomorrow, and I haven’t the foggiest idea what I am going to write about. I have a ton of story ideas to rol with, but not a single one of them are jumping out at me, saying “WRITE ME!”. I have a few that do keep coming into my mind, but they both need so … Read more
Click and share if you wish! Please do spread the word. And on that note, I have to say I spent a sick amount of money this year doing online shopping for the holidays. After I wrapped up the spending spree, I realized I am missing the boat here. I had been selling my handmade items on Etsy, but have not had a single thing listed there for close to a year. I have some 75 handmade pens sitting in boxes, and they certainly … Read more
For as long as I can remember, shopping the Friday after Thanksgiving has been something I have always taken part of. It seems that it’s just a part of the Holiday season or something. I am not very ‘anal’ about it though, as I am not out the door, standing in line to get one of 50 DVD players for $3.88. No, I am a casual Black Friday shopper. I get up, shower, eat some breakfast, and I’m out the door around 10:ish. The last … Read more
Well, It’s been about a week since I so firmly boasted that I would be writing in NaNoWriMo again this year. I made it just a few days before I pooped out. I know. I suck. It’s honestly ok. I am ok with it. I am just starting a new job, and i really need to focus on that. I found myself disregarding work thoughts in lieu for writing/story thoughts. Unfortunately, I NEED to focus on work right now. If I had started the new job a … Read more
About a month ago, I stumbled across a video on Yahoo, where some chef with a pretty bad Italian accent was making Osso Buco. He was quite entertaining, so I watched the 10 minute video. I am so glad I did. The meal looked wonderful. I mean I could taste the flavors through my computer monitor, it looked so good. I mentioned this to my wife, and she was like “sure thing dear. We can make that some time”. A few weeks later, I mentioned it to … Read more
Isn’t it funny how when you think you have everything almost figured out, something comes along and pushes you into a new direction? Well, that is sort of what happened to me this week. For the last several months, I have been working on my Design By Kohler website (which I am almost done – I know, I keep saying that) and have had the long term plan of giving self employment another go. Probably in the LONG-LONG term, that is still there, but on … Read more
Many years ago, the wife and I had a favorite Sloppy Joe mix that we would occasionally have for a quick meal. It was also a cheap fix, so it was all good. I would guess about 8 or so years ago, they stopped selling our preferred brand at any of our local stores. It was called Not-So-Sloppy-Joe by Hormel. We looked everywhere, but not in Colorado anymore. We tried a few other brands, and they were just horrible. so, we have been on a Sloppy Joe hiatus ever … Read more
This is crazy! With all my unhappiness about customer service in this nation as of late, I FINALLY have a positive story to share. If you would jump into the WAY BACK machine, and arrive somewhere around 2005 (our best guess) you would find us buying a new garden hose caddy. You know the type, where you hook your hose (garden variety, dummies) to this box (mind out of the gutter, now) and you wind it in. Bonus for it not looking completely like a trailer trash … Read more
Yes, it has been a long time… I have spent a ton of hours over the weekend, trying to get back into the mindset of blogging. I used to have a ton of ideas floating around my head, enough for dozens of entries at any given time. I just had to reach in and grab one to post. Now, I still have those dozens (if not more) ideas floating around, but my internal editor dismisses them as garbage even before I can start to get … Read more
