Dear (cup of) Joe, I loved making love to you in my Keurig. For the first time, it was so nice that I could have my single cup of whatever flavor I want and it was perfect every time. Our relationship was strained back in the Mr. Coffee days. How much coffee to put in? [...]

Paint with all the colors of the wind… (A Post on Clotheslining)
Clotheslines are up. Ordered a Crawford-Lehigh RC20 20-Feet Retractable Clothesline for inside the porch and a 40-ft one for the yard. (Our town is one big HOA that requires outdoor clotheslines to be retracted when not in use.) Installation was pretty darn simple (two screws and one screw-hook thing). I’ll use the line in the [...]

Week One of GymPact – Thoughts and Reflections
It’s sad that I need my iPhone and some app to motivate me to hit the gym more often. But, I’ll get over that. I just completed one week of using GymPact. (Don’t know how much $$ I’ve raked in, though. Will add an update when I find out.) UPDATE: Found out I earned $1.72 [...]
Starting off 2012 with Resolve
First, I resolve to use Resolve (or similar product) on some carpet spots. Ahh, the joys of pet ownership and a muddy yard. May even break out our tiny steam cleaner. This little babe is going to be scooting and crawling across this indoor landscape before we know it and I want it to be [...]
