3 days and what do you get?

I’ve been on the phone with Apple Support for three full days and frankly I’m sick of it. From trying to get the Tiger OS X operating system loaded back into my old PowerBook, to trying to recover my songs off the iPod through third party software Senuti (which an Apple rep referred to disdainfully as “lo-tech” – to which I said then why don’t you provide something “hi-tech” and he mumbled “copyright issues”) to…

Sprucing up your wardrobe

I was flipping through an INSTYLE magazine and reading about how a stylist gave an actress her beach hair look by blowdrying over a loofah and then how high-waisted blue jeans are making a come back (about damn time is all this short-waisted woman has to say, I will sing at the funeral of peanut jeans or at least that is what we called them when I was a tween, jeans that barely cover the…

Dreaming of puppies

It makes such a difference having clean smelling dogs – ours had gotten a little on the smelly side and since Loca, who has never smelled before, sleeps right by my bedside, I was getting a little tired of waking up to dog smell greeting my mornings. So now they are clean and it is actually a pleasure to pet them and have them near by. Except on Monday, when they were off being bathed…

Waffle, Hot Dog!!!!!

So I thought I did all my spinning yesterday, but actually today was another day of things just spinning out of control and I finally had to say, enough. I had signed up for two tickets to a Champagne Tasting at Swirl and my friend cancelled on me because she had a cold – I almost cancelled on me because I felt like the things to do were racking up. So I did what a…

So much for Tuesdays

Today after being on the phone since I stepped out of bed, I have not taken a breath. Now wait a minute, wasn’t I supposed to be taking a breath somewhere in here. But no, a long time ago when I set up my PowerBook I kept all my ITunes songs on my external hard drive and the other day when trying to fix the operating system on my old computer I accidentally dumped the…

Check, check, check

Yesterday, I stripped all the bedding in Tin’s room and washed it and his clothes and vacuumed. Then I reconditioned the leather couch with the leather honey. Next I cleaned and resealed all of the marble counter tops in the house. I vacuumed, and cleaned the windows, and picked up all the stuff that seemed to be everywhere, washed the dog beds and cat cover. I ordered diapers, wipes and Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercream for…

WTF

On my way from getting the dogs from the vet – they went in for a bath – a much needed bath – I passed this DayCare Center that I pass all the time, but this time I noticed a sign, maybe it’s new, but it’s certainly odd. 24 hour day care. Good grief!

Refurbishing the sofa

The leather sofa ain’t what she used to be as she has gotten damaged by sunlight and not to mention countless animals pawing all over it. It’s a beautiful sofa and now thanks to Leather Honey, this product I bought online and used on it – it is a gorgeously beautiful, almost like new, sofa. This stuff is like spreading honey, I must admit, but it even felt good on my dry, winter hands. I…

Tapas like Spain

When we were in Indianapolis awaiting clearance to return home with Tin, we visited the Whole Foods there very often and bought this amazing Tortilla EspaƱola. I wanted so much for our Whole Foods here to carry it, but they never have. I just learned from the company that they are carrying it on their website. I highly recommend. We would heat this up in the microwave for a few seconds and add a salad…
