I hate those BK commercials as anyone else, but the estate of Wesley Willis should definitely consider legal action.

My boss gave me a nice scarf for the Holidays. I just started wearing it recently and am surprised of the difference it makes. There's only one scarf I've worn with any regularity before this, and that was one a dear friend knitted me in high school, which I wore all the time back then. The currently relapse has kept things a little cozier in these cold times.

I don't have any great suggestions, but something needs to be done about tomato paste cans. I usually only need a couple of tablespoons every few months, but those little cans it comes in have way more than that with no good way to save the rest for later uses.

Hmm, maybe there are glass jars out there with screw tops. I'll have to look for those next time. Well, thanks for solving my problem!

As I saw noted recently, call it "Presidents Day", or "Presidents' Day" if you must, but certainly not "President's Day".

I think with the recent snows, Illinois finally has received more snow than Florida.

We were having issues with our ancient power box. Thankfully the electrician was able to get it going with a few simple switches. Having half of the outlets (and dishwasher) in your house out definitely helps you to appreciate it once they're back.

Please give your significant other a small peck and a hug. They very much deserve it.

Our first real winter scare here in IL was... okay. Hopefully we've finally over taken Florida as far as total inches received goes.

Where do you like to keep your taskbar? Personally, I have it on the right side of the monitor.

I have my phone and tablet set to use random photos it's selected as wallpaper. It's a mix of pictures I've taken of family, various landmarks, etc. Somehow, Rick got a hold of my tablet and set the random wallpapers to only show photos of him. Clever kid...
