I know it’s not nice of me and certainly not neighbourly but man am I sick of hearing about our neighbour’s vacations! This time they and some friends will be staying in Hilton Head rentals - so the kids can all play together of course! Last month they just went to Cuba for […]

I’m thinking about a few long baths, a pedicure (done by me of course - I’m not paying $60 ), a manicure (also done by me) and maybe a facial too - with one of those peel off pouches .

It’s true. Sad, yes, but very true. A friend phoned to tell me that there is a big sale on at Old Navy and I’m just too tuckered to care. AND it ends today! I know that I should go and get some clothes stocked up for next year for the […]

OR would you rather have it explained to you so you can do it yourself? Hands down I’m the latter. I want to understand exactly how to do things so that I can do it later on my own without asking for help.

Every time I turn around the magazines are showing yet another celebrity trekking off to rehab. At first I feel a “good for them for recognizing they have a problem and dealing with it”. Then, a month later when they’ve been out for a while and are returning, I start to wonder if […]
