I've previously written about my astounding ability to be sort of a somewhat-above-average Jane at many things, but master of not-much. ...

I'm feeling just a smidgen overwhelmed today so I thought it would be a good time to sit down and list the things on which I am ponderin...

For nearly a week, I've spent quite a bit of time home from work. None of the reasons why I've been home involve anything lady-of-l...

I've always been a major daydreamer. Seriously. I'm embarrassed to admit that I regularly -- though not intentionally -- miss entire...

Now that the seams are all sewn-up on the first craft fair of the season, I have pause to ponder the goings-on in my life the past few weeks...

I've always been a pretty clear cut right-brainer -- no question. A math-a-phobe from an early age, I've fancifully flitted between ...

Lock checkers, stuff hoarders, face pickers, death thinkers -- this is just a small spattering of the individuals who are consumed with obse...

I've stared at a blank Blogspot "New Post" screen for two hours. I'd be lying if I said that I haven't done anything ...

I realize the phrase, "count your blessings," lies somewhere on the border of Clicheville and Hackneyed-town; however, I've al...

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in Minnesota...not too warm or too chilly, with just a hint of crispy goodness in the air. Having lived...

The kids are officially on summer vacation. What better way to kick off the footloose and fancy free furlough than detonating... um, cleani...
