I’ve been wondering why the winner of the giveaway still hasn’t contacted me and then I noticed that the post where I announce the winner has been sitting in my drafts folder this whole time.  Good job, Jennie!  Anyway, the winner of the apron, brownies and skin care stuff is:… Read More

So do you think you’re talented?  Completely missed out in the giving-of-talents?  Maybe somewhere in between? That’s what I’m talking about today over at Segullah. It’s especially for those who are “not so talented”. P.S. The great giveaway (featuring my talent for making not-very-important things) ends tonight at midnight.  Enter… Read More

You guys!  How could I almost have forgotten?  This week is my two year blogiversary!  I can’t believe I’m still around writing all this crap.  I  guess I am not a quitter.  Actually I have the opposite problem; I stick around long after I should have gone/quit/stopped.   Which is… Read More

I’m over at Segullah today waxing philosophical.  And reading what I wrote made me cry.  Seriously. P.S. My sister is on her way here as we speak (OK, we’re not speaking, but you know what I’m saying.  Only I’m not actually saying it.  Oh, come on!  You know what I mean.)… Read More

I know those of you in other parts of the country are rolling your eyes, but can I please get a shred of sympathy? It’s 16 degrees right now! In Texas. We have no gloves.  We have no puffy coats.  I can barely find two socks. There are just some… Read More

Posting at Segullah about charity.  Then actually doing some charity by helping a friend pack her house to move out of town (sad!!!).  But is it still charity if I get to have fun hanging out with someone I like at the same time? By Hildie | Filed under Uncategorized… Read More
