Okay, so is everybody here at my new blog address now? Should I do a head count? I hate to leave anyone behind, but I guess the stragglers will catch up with us eventually.
Thanks to all of you who updated the links on your blogrolls already! I’ll be giving away an Amazon [...]

Welcome to my new blog home! Moving from my site on Wordpress.com to my own domain has taken lots of late nights, frantic e-mails to tech support, and a good deal of Advil, but it’s finally up and running. Hooray!
You’ll have to be patient when viewing old posts (anything published before this [...]
I’m back! Did you miss me?
I had a great time in Indianapolis, visiting our old stomping grounds. Dave and I lived in Indy for the first 7 years of our marriage and loved it there. It’s always good to go back.
As you know, I was invited to the Indianapolis Home-a-Rama to take pictures for you [...]
Have I ever told you the story of how I met my husband? I was a sophomore in college. An English major. And not doing very well in the computer-programming class I was taking.
Dave was the professor’s lab assistant who patiently taught me how to write that end-of-year computer programming project and saved me [...]
Well, guys, I’m in a hotel room in Indianapolis and didn’t have a chance to recap “Top Design” for you this week. I know, I know–I’m sorry!
I only caught about 15 minutes of last night’s episode and only know who was booted off because I read about it on Blogging Top Design. (I can’t say [...]
Remember when I asked where you thought we should go for our next Fantasy Open House series?
Well, you gave me tons of good ideas and some great links to try. Thank you! Now I have a long list of places to visit (virtually) in the months ahead.
Soon after I took that poll, I was told [...]
One of my favorite shows on HGTV is Candice Olson’s Divine Design. She never disappoints. I love how she manages to make traditional style look modern and light.
Look at this basement that Candice remodeled. I need her to come and help me with mine! If I could have anyone come and give my house a [...]
Valorie, from the lovely blog Visual Vamp, had a great idea (no, that’s not her in the hat!). She thinks we should all show our Fake Family Fotos here and have a good laugh. Sounds like fun to me. So here’s what I’m thinking.
We’re going to have a Fake Family Foto Contest!
That’s right. So here’s [...]
This week’s episode of “Top Design” is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most because they promised “Project Runway” alums. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been a die-hard PR fan since the first season. I was especially excited to see Andrae (“What happened to Andrae?!” as Tim Gunn would say) and Santino from [...]
Today we went to get our family photos taken for the church directory. You know the kind. I won’t name the big-time photography studio that does these, but I’m sure you’ve all experienced them and their fuzzy-blue backgrounds.
For our sitting we had crushed pink velvet instead of fuzzy blue. Very cutting edge.
I don’t want to [...]
