I would only hope that you’re living under the same rock as me if you don’t know what Silly Bandz are.  They are everywhere including the water fountain at the mall.  I suppose that I may go there too much if the same band has been in the fountain for several trips. Do you get [...]

www.jeansandjewelscharlotte.com Go buy some tickets and support 24 Hours of Booty and our friend Fran! Here’s the web designer sitting with the CEO / boss man / man holding people down also known as IT geek or systems administrator.  There’s no I in team but there are C’s.  I couldn’t do these websites alone.  Go [...]

I don’t have a smart phone.  I don’t have an internet phone.  I have a plain old cell phone and just last year, I upgraded to the phone that has the QWERTY keyboard and that was an amazing change.  I got to test drive my friend’s Incredible for a short time.  My review is that [...]

As I’m going through my big home purge, I found this old postcard of Eastland Mall.  Back then, Eastland Mall was the nicest mall in town and we took all of our out of town guests there as they ooh’d and ahh’d at the skating rink.  We bought our groceries at the Harris Teeter there [...]

I don’t get to see Russell much as he’s always traveling.  When he tells me he got a motorhome, I think that’s great as living out of hotels is no fun.  When I discover it’s a toy hauler (we couldn’t be friends if we didn’t have toys!), I think even better.  When Russell shows me [...]

♫  It’s a small world after all.  It’s a small world after all.  It’s a small small world. ♫ My boss rarely goes downtown except for once a year.  Somehow on this one day, Jason ends up running into and eating lunch my boss.  Here is Ryan, Ben, and Jason after lunch.  I missed lunch!  [...]

Reduce. As the masses were unloading after the big move, I see exactly how much I need to reduce.  I have three piles: sort, shred, toss.  I buy a scanner / printer that has a duplex document feeder and set up my workstation. I’ve been holding onto these papers for no reason.  I never reference [...]

One of the joys of life is making Chad laugh about my adventures. For those who don’t know, Michael’s is a local arts and crafts store that is always advertising their custom framing services.  I decided that I wanted to frame my diploma after all these years so I needed a mat.  Unfortunately, despite all [...]

Want a piece of Antirider history?  I’m selling off a piece of my artwork.   The medium is charcoal and I custom cut the mat myself.  The back story is I saw a picture of these barns that I liked a while back and decided to make a charcoal drawing of them.  This hung over [...]

It’s official.  I live like a bachelor: * I rarely clean my home. * I have more beverages and condiments in my fridge than actual food. * I have Jalapeno Cheetos and other assorted chips in my cabinet. It’s been a couple of months but I still haven’t officially finished unpacking.  As I’m opening boxes, [...]

Everyone gets new desks! Mr. Peanut is going to be replaced by a modern desk that swings both ways.  Whoa! Jason is hard at work and I am his helper. I am learning about servers and data centers.  Not really but it’s nice to keep him company. I really like the view.  This is the [...]

Evidently, I missed the turquoise shirt memo and am the odd Asian girl out on this outing with Anny, Jason, and Phi. Leonard calls it atrocious.  I call it a commercial waiting to happen. Customer Lenny says Griffin Brothers has the best service! The quest for the ultimate desk is over.  I found a desk [...]

1. Get a hair cut That’s not me in the chair but that is my hair dresser, Bradford Holshouser, artiste (according to his business card) and owner of Beaux Art Salon.  It took a bit but I finally tracked him down after over seven years.  He’s just like I remember him. We show how much [...]

Brendan makes a recon trip to do manly things like build stuff. Me and my girls: Laurel and Sian.  It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since we all became friends.  I join them for an early morning line at Old Navy where the whole bill is 50% off.  Good stuff! After 30 years, [...]
