I’m going with my mom this weekend to the Halloween Costume & Party Show in Chicago. This is her annual buying trip for her store, and I’m going along because I’m now running the costume web site.

This winter we’ve kept the thermostat on a not-so-balmy 63 degrees, instead of the 59-60 (with the occasional splurge to 61) degrees we […]

I’m switching my blog to Wordpress because I got sick of the Blogger Beta drama. I’ve been struggling for days to make this site do what I wanted it to do. Thanks to a wayward } in my CSS, the sidebar kept pushing the main bar down the page when I viewed it in […]
