A few months ago, I got my first iPhone. Before that, I was using the Android Incredible (a phone very similar to the iPhone in that it is a sleek touch screen smart phone). Moving from an Android to an iPhone was not as easy a transition as you might think. When I got the Incredible in the spring of 2009, the iPhone 3S was scheduled to be … [Continue reading...]
I've decided that I spend too much time in the kitchen, so this week my focus is on simple recipes that are easy to make ahead or that come together quickly. MONDAY: Friday Night Chili with gluten-free cornbread TUESDAY: Tilapia Parmesan (but with a different white fish -- 'cause tilapia isn't so good for you; Kelly suggests … [Continue reading...]
Last weekend I went out and got a sample of Whitall Brown (if you recall, it was Megan's recommendation) and another lighter shade of brown that I pretty much just picked willy-nilly ('cause that's how I roll). I got home and had my husband roll samples of the paints on several walls of our living room. We lived like that for several days as I … [Continue reading...]

I am strongly opposed to this bill, as I believe it infringes on the basic rights granted to American citizens by our Constitution. I also don't believe this bill stands a chance of making it to law, at least not as it is currently written. I … [Continue reading...]

I think it's all the chopping -- it always seems like such a process. And it IS. This Sausage Kale Soup took me about an hour to put together. But it makes a … [Continue reading...]
A topic that came up several times in the my Reader Survey is my running and exercise routine. I'd like to know how you got into running. Did you try other exercises first and they just didn't appeal to you? I've been trying to get into an exercise routine, but I just can't find one to keep my interest. And . . . I'm interested in how you … [Continue reading...]
I love you guys, can I just say? I put my Living Room Paint Debate out there and within 24 hours I knew exactly what I wanted to do in there!! When Megan suggested brown, I thought that might just be the ticket. Some others suggested it too. I'd have NEVER thought of brown in a million years without you guys. It is exactly what I want -- bold, … [Continue reading...]
