Gotta Love a Rebel..

Heat Wave Hell

Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. Truth is, without central A/C I’ve been literally a prisoner of our bedroom, the only room that currently has a window unit in it. Generally our house stays very cool thanks to the ginormous oak tree that hangs over our roof. But with three straight days of 100+ degree […]

How are you going to spend your Tax Rebate?

Ok, technically its called Economic Stimulus Payment and for the record I’m totally against the whole principle of these but that doesn’t mean I can’t think of eight bazillion ways to spend it!

No, not THAT one, that one isn’t due until August–I’m talking about our brand spanking new school-bus-yellow Dyson All Floors DC07! Some of you may remember this post in October when I solicited your advice for a good vacuum cleaner. Like most things related to cleaning in my life (and making decisions) I procrastinated for quite a […]

Dad manning the C&D booth. This past Saturday, Charmed & Dangerous had a booth at the Bust Holiday Craftacular in NYC. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect because of previous circumstances. Previous circumstances being that the last show we did (Shecky’s Girl’s night Out) we were next to a sex toys booth. Which is […]

Black Friday Booty

Mist on Thanksgiving Morning.  I woke up early thanksgiving morning to spooky weather more suited to Halloween than Thanksgiving.. can you believe that fog? Thanksgiving day my good friend Amy arrived by train from NYC. She hadn’t seen our house yet, nor had my aunt and uncle on my dad’s side so we had a […]

Birthday Blues

First of all, a huge thank you for all the vacuum suggestions, I’m still doing some research but am very grateful for the starting points! So Monday was my birthday and I was NOT happy about it. In fact, I spent a good portion of Sunday sobbing and rejecting Jeff’s attempts to arrange a dinner/party […]
