Bad TV doesn’t seem like it would make for a good gift, does it? Well, when bad TV is so bad that it’s addictively good, it can easily become the gift of a fun night in.Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am obsessed with the twisted-rea…
Just wanted to post a quick blog before calling it a night! I didn't know what today's gifts would be, but as frequently happens, they just present themselves. I was in line at Einstein's Bagels. There was a lady in front of me and another lady behi…

Thank you. Dawn put me out of my misery only a short while ago today. I'm embarrassed i didn't see the icon myself, but realize that sometimes the harder I work at something, the more complicated I make it. Thanks.
HMMM -- Dancing outside with my sisters during a summer rain he rain in our bathing suits! Love your memory.
Krystyn - if you are seeing the same thing I'm seeing, there are a few formatting links above the blog posting area. The one that looks like a light blue polaroid is to upload pics. If you want to upload a pic in a comment, you click the little icon…
A community based workforce organization hired a marketing company to hold focus groups about how they might better serve their customers and community. Now any one who has ever been a part of a focus group knows it is not always stimulating! Howeve…

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
