Stupid beading tricks: uh, another pink bracelet
Saturday night I was sipping wine and dorking around with my beads when I did a mental inventory of whom I had to “gift” with a “creation.” I know that giving away these things for free will shoot me in…
The Frazzleds at Walt Disney World
Years ago while I was still at the C-P, I sketched a self-portrait at work. As you can see, my artistic skills are second to none. I named her Frazzled Kim and stuck her on my computer monitor. A few…
Welcome, Flapjack!

We are off from work today to celebrate an amazing Annual Meeting. Which I didn’t have to attend, but we get the day off anyway. While I was waiting for maintenance to come in this morning and fix a crack…
