Odds and Ends
Utah Isn’t Flat
Utah - The beehive state Flats. Have you heard of them? They’re a Potbelly sandwich made with less bread and therefore flatter then your usual sandwich. My teen ran into Potbelly to pick up a sandwich and came out with a story…. “Mom, Utah isn’t flat.” OK, so it wasn’t a question. Potbelly is selling … Continue reading Utah Isn’t Flat
Unsubscribe? Go Ahead Break My Heart
Unsubscribe? Don’t go! This past week I’ve been creating e-mail list for both Camp-Run-A-Pup and Deer Antlers for Pups. I’ve never created e-mail lists for either business because I don’t send mass e-mails. If I have something to say, I e-mail the person directly. But recently I had something very important to say and it … Continue reading Unsubscribe? Go Ahead Break My Heart

So with time to spare and a bag of semi-nuevo apples in the fridge, we decided to spend some quality time together and head over to … Continue reading Well Watchers Deep Subject
U-Verse Sucks, Zappo’s Rocks
Get ready for an “Ohio”-type story*—this is going to take a while. But I'll start off with the bottom line. AT&T U-verse sucks. It all started yesterday afternoon when I tried to rent a movie from U-verse on Demand. (The Grand Budapest Hotel, if you are interested.) I was about twenty minutes into the … Continue reading U-Verse Sucks, Zappo’s Rocks

Fireworks Stop It!
Happy 4th of July! I am so grateful to be an American, to own a house and to live in a neighborhood surrounded by fine, upstanding citizens. On this red, white and blue corn-eating, beer-drinking holiday, I support everyone’s right to explode fireworks and celebrate this great country’s Independence. God Bless America! Unfortunately, some of … Continue reading Fireworks Stop It!
