Hangover cure? Lemony Fresh Underarms!

Tuesday night I stayed up late to finish reading The Mermaid Chair. I could have put the book down and gone to sleep much earlier, but I knew I could finish by 1:00 and feel proud of myself for reading a whole book (minus fifty pages) in one day. In the last few years, I [...]

Legal Mumbo Jumbo

I’ve been reading about copyright and trademark and blah blah blah this stuff is HARD. But all this digging and head pounding is worth it for this bit of awesomeness from the U.S. Copyright Office:
“How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?”.

Copyright Questions

Regarding my April 1st entry: I’m sweeping away some cobwebs, ringing all the bells and blowing all the whistles. I’m trying not to gaze too long at my navel. But it is mesmerizing.

“Mom! Lock the door! You have to [...]

CHBM Carnival/Hollywood Flakes

The Crazy Hip Blog Mamas are having a little participatory thing-a-ma-jig over there today. They call it a Carnival. You can call me a joiner.
I think I was supposed to comment and write about the first blog I found by hitting “Random” on the webring. But y’all. Come on. I can’t say something nice about [...]

Buy Me Stuff

Yesterday morning as I lay dying on my couch, the UPS man left a package from

at my front door. An 8:30a.m. residential UPS delivery? He is my new hero.
Unfortunately, my illness prevented me from actually enjoying the coffee, but I did open the box and caress the packages and unwrap my new mug. Joy.
