Crazy house, crazy me

Do you ever feel that you become an extension of your house? When my house is all calm and clean and happy, so am I. When my house is crazy, cluttered, and chaotic, so am I. And that is how it is right now. Boxes everywhere, miscellaneous Christmas decorations without a home lying around, piles of mail mocking me and no end in sight. That is how I feel today. Like my house.

Jane Austen font


I just found a fabulous new free Jane Austen font via Emily Style. Now I can write in Jane Austen's handwriting, if not her witty words.

Cell phones, cheap

Ha you may say. But we just renewed our plan. We talk as much as we need and want. We have rollover minutes for a whole year. We paid $7.20 a month last year.

Sweet. It's a go phone from T-Mobile. I'm so glad we finally went for it. We bought another 1000 minutes for the coming year. Last year we used just under that. Yea for no commitment and low low fees.

Just thought I'd share.
