Hate your job? You’ll love it here!
I ran across this while browsing the hysterical Cake Wrecks site today. I’m generally pretty happy, really not a mourning person, so this one isn’t for me. Hate your job? Love to hate your job? Dream of your misspent youth while working? Do you rue the day you were born? You’ll love it here! I [...]
Inexpensive scrapbook supplies: Oriental Trading Company
I’ve been visiting Oriental Trading Company’s website quite a bit lately because we’ve found things to use at the flower shop, so we’re always on the lookout for other neat goodies.

Shopping for a digital SLR
Sarah’s video doing so well in Mutt Madness has provided us with unexpected cash.
