My Darling Dog
This morning I stepped outside to water my vegetable garden and let the dog come with me. On the way back inside, Obi got so excited that he rammed into the sliding screen door so hard that he bent the metal! So I stood outside at 6:50am unable to get back into my house because the door was bent to a degree that it could no longer slide. I pulled, I pushed, I wiggled and nothing worked. Finally, I...
"Date Night" Movie
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am a huge Fan of Tina Fey, and Steve Carell from “The Office” is hysterical, so there is no doubt that I’ll be going to see Date Night Movie after it’s release on April 9th, 2010. I almost never get to go to the movies because my hectic travel schedule, but every time I see the trailers for this...

The New Family Business
Over the weekend the kids and I spent some fun time playing the “Café World” game on Facebook. Here’s how it works: the game provides a small cafe to customize and decorate, the chef (the kids and I) picks a waiter from their Facebook friends, and then we pick entrees and desserts from our recipe book to sell to our patrons. The game involves keeping the restaurant clean,...

Planning my Summer Vacation
I was literally looking for vacation rentals this morning when I got a sponsored post request from PayPerPost, so it must be fate! I’m a seasoned vacation renter, and know my way around most of the major rental listing sites (I used to be an owner/renter myself.)
The VacationRental.org site provides a nice, colorful interface for searching for vacation rental homes worldwide. What I like...

I'm ready for my close up
I’ve been having hard time lately with taking my digital photography skills and am on the hunt for easy-to-understand onine resources that don’t require me to buy more equipment. I found some Great Photography Articles by Amy Renfrey that have already provided some quick fixes to a few of my lighting issues. Even though a few of the articles are a little length, I’d recommend...

A follow-up on Scotch Eggs
A few weeks ago I made a post about Scotch Eggs and it got me thinking about ways to cook a perfect hard-boiled egg. After a lot of trial and error on different methods I’ve found a winner from the American Egg Board’s website. This method keeps the yolks nice and yellow while maintaining a firm, but not rubbery, egg white.
PLACE eggs in saucepan large enough to hold them in single...

Finally! A shop just for me!
While browsing through the SocialSpark.com opportunities this morning I caught one that really got my attention…She-Tech.com. This is a terrific Website with great-looking laptop bags for women like me who are always on the hunt for posh ways to transport their work. Name brands, competitive prices, but most importantly styles I’ve never seen before. Check it out at...
My Weekly Horoscope
This is one of the most accurate horoscopes I’ve had in a while:
Leo (July 23-Aug 22) You’re adjusting to huge changes this week, but taking some time each day to relax and refresh will help you take them all in stride. If you can’t get past what’s happening in the present, try to take a different angle and focus on the future. When you finally feel comfortable in your new...

How to forget a man
MLT: Let's grab a drink and let me explain to you my Jabba The Hut theory on men.
Friend: I need that right now.
MLT: We all have at some point in our lives.
(Fast forward 20 minutes.)
Friend: Holy crap. I'll never look at him the same way again!
MLT: You're welcome!

WatchMy Brothers Go Camping
Countdown to change!
When I started this blog last year I was hopeful to have a handful of people occasionally read through my silly statements and view my photos. I’m happy to say that while I’m no heavily-trafficed blogger, my traffic alludes that a number of you find entertainment from my posts, and I thank you for viewing and commenting.
I’m putting the finishing touches on my new MindComet...
