So this is something I’ve been dying to tell you guys about. A few weeks ago, a friend pointed me to a website for these: They’re little ping-pong-sized, hard foam balls that attach to the corners of your iPad (or mini) to keep it from breaking if it falls on the ground. It’s an ingenious…
I’m a sucker for a good commercial. And if there’s one thing that really gets me, it’s weirdness. But weirdness is kind of like a first date. Under do it and it lands you in the forgettable pile. Over do it and you’re in creepy town. Like the GoDaddy spot with the horrible — as…
Once upon a time, I was a really good housekeeper. You could pretty much eat off of my floors. I did things like clean the refrigerator even if something hadn’t spilled in it. I’d wonder to myself how people lived with dirty baseboards. Then I had kids. That was about ten years ago. Coincidentally, also…

So here’s something I’ve never told you guys: I met the president. I even got to talk to him. And he hugged me. And no, I haven’t OD’d on pain meds — I’m being serious. I don’t talk about this a lot (clearly, since I’ve been blogging for almost four years and am just mentioning…
As much as I bitch and complain about technology, one thing I love about the internet is its ability to help people. Myself included. I can’t tell you how many times I would’ve been shut up in this house, feeling all alone if it weren’t for my laptop. Anyway, I came across someone who needs…
I went and saw Les Miserables with a girlfriend the other night. It was an amazing movie, but for some reason, I still feel like I could just nitpick it to pieces. I’m starting to think this could be my calling — professional life nitpicker. Too bad I can’t get someone to pay me for that……
I’m been wanting to show this to you guys, but after the events in Newtown, well, I don’t think anyone’s life has stayed on schedule. So this is basically a Where’s Waldo book that you can personalize. You send in a photo, and then your child gets to find himself/herself among other children’s faces on…
We went to see Rise of the Guardians today. The odds were already heavily in favor of me crying because I cry at just about everything. But this had Christmas spirit, childhood dreams, and overcoming personal tragedy all wrapped up into ninety minutes, so I really didn’t stand a chance. Later I heard the kids…
One of the great and horrible realities of Christmas in the 21st century is that there’s really no excuse for not being able to find the perfect gift. Because if it’s not online, it probably means you’re a genius and just came up with the next great thing in greatness. Either that or you’re like…
So come on in. I made some Arnold Palmers. And a nice jello salad...
