Like I Live on a Slice of Special Cake!

Sometimes I stumble upon something that is so clearly meant for me and my enjoyment that I wonder how to stand it. Those that know me well will require no explanation; they will simply know that my decade has been made.

For those that require explanation, you’re falling behind. Do try to keep up.

Yes, I am already planning on buying as many of these as I can.


And for those of you terribly curious or terribly lost go here.


Happy Christmas!!

I Like Lists

Top four reasons being an adult is overrated.
1. Fixing your car no longer consists of getting your dad to look at it.
2. You have to pay to replace your power steering fluid pump.
3. Not having a properly working car isn’t an “excused” absence.
4. When you wake up on a Friday morning and don’t want to get out of bed, you still have to.


Top four reasons being an adult for me is still appreciated.
1. My boss brings treats to big meetings.
2. A reviewer thanked me for my “f/up,” otherwise meant as follow-up.
3. I discovered my company’s large print options.
4. That list leads to screen grabs like the above.
