Setting the mood and tone of the home

I’m sitting here looking at the new Decor Elements (vinyl wall adhesives) and frame I just hung on my wall.  It’s so much fun to give a new look to a room by making a small change.  Sometimes all it takes is a little something new.  New wall hangings, a new knick knack or some different lighting [...]

Sterilizing Surgical Implants with Custom Wire Baskets

It’s not one of those things you discuss at the dinner table, necessarily, but amputations, replacement organs, and other surgical implants are a fact of life for some people.

Chik-fil-A’s Coffee Caramel Milkshake

There was a time when I thought that McDonald’s St. Patrick’s Day tribute, with their “Shamrock Shake,” had topped the charts for fast-food milkshakes, and then I discovered Arby’s and their jamocha shake, which won out for me, hands down. The contest didn’t end there, though; this year, Chik-fil-A introduced their coffee caramel milkshake. This is the beginning [...]

Arby’s Jamocha Shake – Better than Coffee?

I’m still debating whether or not Arby’s Jamocha shake performs as well as a cup of coffee. You get the great coffee flavor, though it is definitely not an overwhelming flavor–my mom, who loves the smell of coffee but can’t stand the taste of it, can enjoy a Jamocha shake. To make it even better, [...]

Odd Jobs to Pay for College

Trying to make money to get by as a young person often brings the opportunity for odd jobs. I know it did for me, at least. I had some pretty low paying, funky jobs over the years. I was a maid, worked in a pet shop, and was even a roller skating waitress. As I moved on to [...]
