When my husband and I cashed in a big pile of coins of Sunday, we had almost enough between us to buy a fairly decent cross-cut paper shredder. But did I? No, I did not. And my paper shredder is on the blink.We took it all apart, and removed the gummy stuck on sheets, and tinkered around with it,

One of my pet peeves is the way some Sacramento real estate agents fill out cancellation forms. On the one hand, it's not like many agents have clients canceling transactions, so they are probably not well versed in how to properly prepare the document, in their defense and all. But I find that o

Try as I might to respond to people who are kind enough to leave a comment on my blogs, when Active Rain features my blog, the number of comments seem to soar through the roof, and it's really super hard to keep up. That is definitely the drawback to a featured blog. At least it didn't happen whe

There is little less enjoyable than realizing a major problem, 9 times out of 10, is a direct result of your efforts and that you and you alone are responsible for the horrible situation unfolding before your eyes. Except in the case I'm about to tell you about, because I think my husband can sha

This morning started out oddly as I prepared to go into my office for our weekly meeting because I could not sign in to my website to check on the blog I had set to drip automatically this morning. When we have early morning meetings on Wednesdays, I often write my blog the night before and set t

Who among us has never eaten snow? OK, as a poor kid growing up in Minnesota, I ate my fair share of freshly fallen snow, before any critter or human did anything disgusting to it. Because that's just something kids do. And when your meals consist of peanut butter and jelly, you need dessert. You
