I just read where 19 states have started to gather signatures on petitions so that their respective states can peacefully secede from the Union. Really? All this over 1 lost election. I guess now we know what comes of telling everyone they're winners. They don't learn how to lose with grace and...

With millions on the East coast still without power it made me wonder how many of us would be prepared for a power outage that could span a week or longer? I generally have at least 1 case of water on hand and a fully stocked pantry. We also have a small propane cook stove that we use for...

I got into my car today and there is an awful mystery smell that I just can't find the source of. Have you ever had this happen? Did you find the source or get rid of the smell?

With summer travel season at an end, gas prices are starting to plummet. In my area they are as low as $3.20 a gallon as compared to prices over $4 a gallon just a month ago. How low do you think they will get this winter? How low are prices for you?

I have been remodeling my bathroom for almost 4 months. I started and just didn't have the time to finish. I finally have the time so I broke down and made myself work on it today. I finished painting the ceiling and put the first layer of paint on the trim. I will be so excited to finish it!

Have you ever had one of those mornings where everything just seemed to go wrong? This morning I had one kid arguing with me about everything from their outfit to their breakfast and another one crying uncontrollably for no reason whatsoever. The thing that made it all worthwhile was when the...

I went to turn my wipers on this morning because we are getting a ton of rain today and one of the wiper blades is ripped. I guess it is time to go get new ones again.

Yesterday my youngest was home and she was totally on me all day long. All day all I heard was "Can we (insert activity here)". It was so exhausting, I didn't even get to go to the bathroom without her hovering outside asking me if we could do something when she got out. It seems like today...

Every year my town has a city wide rummage sale during a local fishing tournament. I am so excited this year because we are having a huge rummage sale to try to clean out the clutter from our house. I have spent all weekend getting ready for it as it starts this Friday. Last time we had one we...

I ended up having to move my passenger side mirror in (it swivels) to get past a sign when I was trying to parallel park yesterday and forgot to put it back out. I only noticed when I went to check my mirrors while I was driving today! Have you ever done this?

It used to be that if you pulled into a gas station, you could get free air and if you went to a car wash you could get a free vacuum. Whatever happened to that practice? Last time I had to get air in my tire it cost me $1!

I just watched the new Tom Hanks movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and I bawled my eyes out. It was such a good movie. Of course, I don't think that Tom hanks has ever made a movie that I didn't find amazing. I completely recommend that everyone watch this movie!

Why do people feel the need to lay on the horn for 5 minutes when they think that you have somehow wronged them on the road? I pulled out of a parking lot and then the light a block away changed and I couldn't get my car fully into the lane because the car ahead of me stopped. The car behind me...

The weather has been so nice that I decided to take my car to the car wash for the first time this year. I cleaned out the inside, vacuumed it and washed the outside really good. It really needed it badly. Has anyone else taken their cars in for the first wash of the year?

My dad fixed my muffler gasket over the weekend and now my car is entirely too quiet. It has sounded like a Blackhawk chopper for so long it is hard to get used to the fact that it is fixed.

I had to run a few errands this morning and the winds are atrocious. We have a high wind advisory for the day. You know it is pretty bad when the stop lights are almost sideways!

We had some horrible snow and ice storms and fog as well over the last few days. On my way to work on Wednesday we had horrible fog and heavy snow. Two cars had hit each other and then one spun out into a tree and the other ended up in the ditch.

I just got done watching one of the most inspirational documentaries I have ever seen. It was called The Ride and it was about Phil Keoghan (the host of The Amazing Race) and his trip from LA to New York on his bicycle to raise money for MS. He pushed through injuries and illness to do this 2000...

I am so sad because my seat covers need to be replaced. They are stretched out and won't stay on the seat anymore. I really like the ones I have with the dragon design and they don't make them anymore. Now I have to find a new design theme for my entire car.

Why is it that when someone else makes a bonehead move on the road they always try to blame it on the other driver? I was driving home from work today and I was on a road with no stop sign but I was slowing down to turn on to another road. That road had a stop sign on it. A woman started pulling...
