That’s right, today you do everything backwards… which reminds me of my dad. He used to hate the fact that he would never have room left for dessert, so one day, he decided that he would eat dessert first and then finish with whatever mom had made for dinner.
Guess he decided that every day would be his “backward” day… at least when it came to dinner. And it worked for him!
Are you just a little bit curious to see who has a thing for you?? I don’t know who came up with this, but it’s fun just to try it and see what happens. And with Valentine’s Day coming up…
You will need two apple seeds. Give each seed the name of someone that you think might be interested in you and then put them in a frying pan. The first one to pop is the one who is “carrying a torch” for you.
Don’t shake your head lol… these superstitions usually started somewhere and the fact that I heard about …read more
I know that I have this book, but it’s lost somewhere on my bookshelf. I really have to come up with some sort of method of organizing my books. This particular book is one that you can thumb through at will and always find something useful.
Time I opened it again!!

When I was a kid, my parents owned a little convenience store at a lake and each day my sisters and I were given 25 cents to spend on whatever we wanted in the store. I remember what I bought vividly… a bottle of Coke and a bag of corn chips. That was definitely a summer to remember! And both for just 25 cents!! Can you imagine what that would cost now?? Anyway, here’s a little trivia and recipes for you.
Did You Know? Fritos Corn Chips were first marketed in 1961.
And just in case you would like to try your …read more

When you are building a character, it’s always nice to give them something unusual as a personality trait. That is the first thing I thought of when I saw this how to… Just what kind of character would go out of his way to tie his shoes in unique ways?? A murderer is the first thing that came to mind.

When was the last time you organized your books. The reason I’m asking is because I was just standing in front of my book case looking for a particular book and I simply couldn’t find it. I know that it is there, I simply couldn’t locate it. I’m going to have to spend some time today trying to come up with some sort of organization that will prevent this from happening.

What would life be with it?? But I have to ask… have you lost some of it along the way? I seem to have had tons when I was a kid, but somewhere along the line, logic took over. Now that’s hardly fair. I am going to have to set aside a little time for some old fashioned day dreaming. Haven’t done that in a long time either!
What was the last thing …read more

Everyone makes snowmen, so for today, I thought that I would see if I could find a how to on something just a little different. And this is what I found… a snowcat. Now get out there and build yourself one. Chances are, your yard will be the only one featuring a snowcat instead of a snowman! It will be sure to catch a little attention.

I don’t know why this is so hard, but having a lesson or two would have made certain parties that I have attended a whole lot easier to get through. Why is it that certain people leave you tongue tied, when there are other times when you simply can’t shut up??

I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but I simply can’t stand a messy desk and there is nothing worse than being unable to find a pen, pencil or eraser when I need to jot something down. I just can’t work unless I have everything in its place. Maybe it’s just one of my personal quirks, but it definitely helps! And if that’s all it takes to make me more productive… well, I’m that much further ahead!
