I’m Going Shopping, On Purpose. Ack!
My closet is pretty slim pickings right now. I have one pair of jeans that fit, no shorts and maybe two skirts. Last winter I wore a lot of leggings and dresses, with boots. Most, of which, were from you guys off of my wishlist. You guys have proven to be a generous bunch and just leave me speechless, half of the time. So, thank you for that. However, they’re calling for a 20-30% colder winter and jeans will be a must. Whether that actually happens is another story, but if it does I’d like to be prepared. Anyway, I’d like to have something other than leggings to wear. I…

It’s National Cat Day!
I just found out it’s National Cat Day, which means I have to share some pictures from their trip home. Devil sat in the back while I drove, and was telling him I’m not sure about this. They’re cute and furry right now, but how about just picking one. We still have time to toss the other two out at the next light. They’ll find a happy home, just look at them. They’ll be just fine! They look like survivors. To that he said- they will be just fine because they’re all three going to stay together… forever. Ack! The thought of three totally freaked me out, and continued to…

Goddammit, Devil!
We have a new neighbor that has just moved in next to us. The new guy caught me outside doing yard work several months ago, and then Devil shortly after they signed the papers. He’s a very nice military man who is definitely a talker. He’s been in touch with Devil and would like to have a few beers, now that they’re moved in and unpacked. That sounded good, we’ll go to their place, keep them out of ours. lol. I’m a neighborly neighbor. Last week while I was mowing Devil was hatching a plan. A plan to invite more people over. The only prerequisite is that they live on…

Today’s Costume Choice
It would appear that my lack of planning for Halloween week of hell was a fail from the beginning. Okay, so I have this huge plastic crate full of costumes. Some of which I’ve worn to parties, others Devil found just for cam. It makes sense that I’d decide to do a week of costumes, since I have an abundance of choices. What doesn’t make sense is that I wouldn’t try them on first, because it’s been years since I’ve worn most of them. And, let’s be honest, I’m not 105 pounds today, it’s more like +25 – before you tell me I’m not fat, I appreciate that, but that’s not the…

The Last Week. My Last Chance.
Do you guys remember last month when I posted a thread regarding October and costumes? I vowed to wear a costume once a week. Not the same costume, mind you, but a different one each week. Yep. That was a pipe dream. I don’t know what it is about costumes, but they freak me the fuck out. Maybe it’s because I feel fake or goofy, or because I actually look goofy. Maybe it’s because they take a creative mind to actually pull it off. I don’t know, but I was that person who said I would do something and then didn’t do it. In fact, it took me half of…

Bondo vs. Duct Tape
There was a discussion about duct tape today, and, Dwwindsor, being Dwwindsor, said he thought bondo was the way to go when it comes to cars. However, you can cut a car in half and duct tape that bastard back together and it’ll function. I have two pieces of evidence to back that up. First of all, WLTNBN saw it done on Myth Busters and it worked. TRUE STORY. Second of all, I have witnessed it with my own eyeballs. When I was a kid, there was this lady named Bunny, and she was the town crazy lady. My mom loved her. LOL. Of course, it could be said that…

Members Totally Redeemed Themselves
I cannot expect members to always give me their time, especially when I offer so many shows each week. However, with that said, you guys have spoiled me and it’s rare that the attendance is low. Last Monday was a first. I started the VNA show without any of my fella’s. I didn’t freak out for the first minute, but then five minutes in I was starting to get a little unnerved. Don’t get me wrong, the VNA guys are always gracious and kind, but not usually chatty. So, the first several minutes I was talking to myself, asking the same question- “How was your weekend?” ….. “sooooo…. did you…

Reminder: VNA Show
This is just a reminder that we’re coming up on the last Sunday of the month, which means I’ll be on VNALive.com at 4p EST this Sunday. I’d love for you to join me for Sunday Funday. Let’s catch up and enjoy the rest of the weekend together.

Protesting Day Light Savings Time
I want to know what needs to happen in order to veto this ridiculous part of our history. It’s not just the states, it’s the world. There’s no reason for it. Granted, it was a good solution to save on energy, when electricity was new and hard to come by. It made sense when people were pinching pennies to put food on the table and when we needed to save every bit of energy we could. It’s been awhile since I’ve looked into it, but I’m fairly certain there is no need for it in today’s society. Let’s be honest, we are not a society that saves on energy. There’s…

Let’s Make a Stand!
You guys know my love of Thanksgiving, so you know my disdain for the retailers. I won’t get into my two-decade-long hate for corporations and their disrespect of what the holiday’s really stand for. What I will reiterate is that black Friday has always come the day after Thanksgiving. It’s been like that for as long as anyone can remember. Although, the first actual black Friday dates back to the 70’s, but didn’t become so popular until about 12 years ago. With that said, I’m of the opinion that we’ve been conditioned to accept the crazy sales and the absurd hours and crowds this day brings. Are the sales really…
