To thine own self be true
Today, someone told me that they were done with all the drama and people talking about them. I gave them a little advice, and ended with one of my favorite phrases, “haters gonna hate.” Trying to please others is a job that has no pay in it. Nearly everyone I’ve ever known has just wanted…

Finding Joy Every Day
“I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart, Down in my heart, Down in my heart, I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay.” Just about everyone knows this old hymn. If you’ve ever been a kid at Sunday School, you’ve sung it.…

Footloose and Tax Free
The annual tax-free weekend is going on right now in South Carolina. This is the 25th year that we have been able to enjoy a three day weekend of savings on school supplies, new clothes, and yes, even bath rugs. Our day started at Lowe’s Home Improvement. We went to collect this month’s My Lowe’s…

Dorm packing list: Mini fridge, new towels, and Legal Forms…
I was listening to the radio this past week and heard an interesting conversation about how parents don’t realize the HUGE legal significance of their child turning 18. With all the busy college planning, shopping, and Amazon wish list making, this is something that sometimes goes by the wayside. There are three very important documents…

MeMaw and PawPaw were built tougher!
Whew! This heat, ya’ll! Not only is it a billion degrees outside, it’s about 100 million degrees in my body…my “bawdy,” as John Mayer would say. (Thanks, menopause!) The AC is broken at my office (it’s being worked on,) but gosh, it’s rough. Add to that running endless “before school starts” errands, along with cleaning…

Doing the Charleston
I spent a couple of days in Charleston to get in a last hurrah before school starts back. Boy, was it hot! Did a little shopping…and by little, I mean little! Prices have gone up astronomically; especially in a touristy town like Charleston. I bought a small bottled water and a small diet coke and…

Nutella Cinderella
I love Nutella. It may be THE most perfect sweet treat there is. Since I started menopause, I’ve craved it. Unfortunately, it’s usually at night….close to midnight. Hence, I am now the Nutella Cinderella. Apparently, there are many recipes using Nutella. Publix even has a cake frosted with it. Personally, I just enjoy it by…

A little D.O. for the B.O.
IT IS HOT. Yes, THAT HOT. The dashboard thermometer read 104 degrees this afternoon as I sludged my way around Harbison. If people were looking for a cool place to go, the mall was not it. I don’t know if it was all the people, the random power surge, or the automatic doors constantly opening…

My name is Fletch, and I’m a sucker for blind bags…
Blind bags are CRAZY! They have mini books, mini spa items, mini Hello Kitties, mini EVERYTHING. All in a ball, wrapped up so you can’t see what’s in it. Even better, there are common, rare, and the almighty ULTRA RARE items. The search for the elusive ULTRA RARE items is non-stop….and expensive. At this point,…
