Regional pet-peeve of the day: What's the deal with public restrooms around here not offering toilet seat covers? Even in the hospitals??

I just found out about this blog called Grandma Club. Dudes! These gals are totally my kind of people. They made their own granola bars and homemade marshmallows! I will definitely be going through the archives and checking out more of their grannie-like exploits. If you enjoy any of my crafting and cooking experiments, I bet this blog will speak to you too.

I like to watch large construction machinery in action. The dudes who work them mistakenly think I am checking them out when I am really ogling the machines.

After watching Naked Lunch, I am torn between repulsion and charm at the site of vintage typewriters.

f-you overpriced pieces of cardboard!

My cats seemed to enjoy those cardboard scratching pads that they sell at Trader Joe's. I got two and placed them side by side because they enjoy laying on them and lolling around in the sunshine. Problem is the scratchers got shabby and I don't shop at Trader Joe's anymore (too crowded, rude patrons, unreliability of items being stocked when I want them...sigh). I was surprised to see how much the scratchers go for at other big box stores. Sheesh! So I took an exacto knife to a couple of boxes and with some glue and a straight edge made one of my own.

Not bad.

Never mind how uninterested she looks, she really does seem to enjoy the pad. She scratches it and lounges on it every day.
