What’s In Your Desk?…
The long weekend finds this girl scrolling through Pinterest discovering office ideas. Months ago, a photo pulled at the heart and I've had office fever since. Why? Not sure.

Holiday Happy…Wheels
Reflecting inward always comes this time of year. As the year winds down we look both back and forward. Inevitably we are reminded to be grateful. Amongst those things you're grateful for, have you given thought to the wheel? Yup, the wheel--as in cars, our getting around, our mobility.

Need A Little Demon?…
What’s new for 2018? Oh, not much. Just cars driving themselves, new and improved safety features and better fuel economy. As we watch homes become more high tech, the same is trending in autos.

Sleep When I’m Dead…
Sleep is the enemy. I would love to be one of those people who says, "I'll sleep when I'm dead." But I get tired. Not tired enough to sleep but tired nonetheless. Night presents itself thusly: In a chair, in front of a computer, vacuuming (a favorite of OCDs who love the lines in the… Continue reading Sleep When I’m Dead…

Our favorite car dealer, Alvin Heggs, is at it again. What did he do for the community now?

Water Emergency…Call Someone
Friday morning I stumble into the bathroom and turn on the shower. Every day, the same. Bathroom stumble, turn on the Keurig, kiss the kittens, climb in the shower.
