Building Fairy Houses - Blog Entry

10 Aug 2008 02:15 PM

Why do I think of the Hobbits in "The Lord of the Rings" movies when I read that piece? :-) I'd love to build some fairy houses. But I'm afraid that hawks (mom and dad and babies) who've been roaming the neighborhood, have scared away most of the other birds and small critters, and the fairies. Maybe they'll cash in their frequent flyer points (LOL) soon and find a nice vacation spot.

Tap Water is Chic - Blog Entry

I still love my Aquafina bottled water. But I do drink tap water at home in addition. I've been regularly bringing my bottled water to work. I still have my reusable water bottle (which looks more like an ice cream float glass). Using the bottled water is just more convenient for me, many times. But I don't re-use the 1-time use bottles. They go right into the recycling bin.

I know what you mean. Although stealing isn't right, at least you were able to put a positive spin on it, in order to have inner peace.

No Colin so far, sorry. But I saw one that was a dead ringer for the husband on "Ghost Whisperer". I'll keep my eye out for you!

Rocking and Bouncing Can Affect Your Baby's Music Preference - Blog Entry

As long as I can remember, all of my life, I've loved Elvis Presley music. My parents are from the same era as EP. I am the same age as EP's daughter. But I don't think Mom ever sang or played Elvis music around me. I can't figure it out. I did, however, spend over 2 months in the hospital as a newborn. Maybe the nurses were singing tunes from Elvis's "68 Comeback Special" to me?? ;-)

Too bad I never saved my orthodontic work after it was removed years ago. ;-) Mary Ann, were you ever able to get the antenna back, and did you confront the chimney sweep or his/her employer about the theft?

I'm not sure. I don't pay attention or notice. Maybe some people DO pick out certain colors! LOL But judging by the quick sounds of the digging for a handful, I tend to think every color is a hit. I love finding the oddball shaped ones. Today, I found one that looked like it was a jelly bean that drank Miracle Grow!

The Change in Generic Food May Help You Save - Blog Entry

Target has 2 store brands for food -- Archer Farms and Market Pantry. I don't know which is the "lesser" one. How does one figure it out?

For my office, I go to either Target or Sam's Club to buy peanut M&Ms (a huge fave), the largest bags (45 ozs @ Tarzhay-boutique, 56 ozs @ Sam's). People chip in, so it's not all from my budget. My co-workers really have sweet teeth! I think it may also be partly a comfort, as some days can be more stressful than others. I try to limit my own consumption to occasional small indulgences.

Baby Blessings: An Alternative to Traditional Church Ceremony - Blog Entry

03 Aug 2008 07:33 AM

We've taken our Yorkie to The Blessing of the Animals. Every October, churches hold these special "services". The animals are actually sprinkled with holy water and given a blessing by a priest. I don't have human kids, but this annual event is special for our family. I usually find a nice doggie shirt for him to wear for the occasion. :-)
