I keep forgetting the product line name because it's so horribly cheesy, but for smaller between-cup sizes these bras are made of win: Playtex Thank Goodness It Fits.

My favorite daily-wear bras for nearly ten years have been from this line. I will inevitably forget the name, so I'm posting it for future reference.

In the process of installing applications to my new system [1], I picked up MailWasher a few versions newer than when I last used it. Since I was feeling magnanimous, I asked Vogon if he'd like me to sic it on monitoring the catch-all ravenshire.com [2] addresses. 12,000 messages later, I discovered he hadn't set up a forwarding address for Laurel ( Read more... )

Someday when I am a homeowner, you bet these will be tiling my bathroom: http://www.tetris-tiles.com/

I recommend this for anyone dealing with traditional holiday lights: Holiday Light Tester, Lee Valley, $8.95.

We're going to upgrade to LED holiday lights one of these years. Until then, the tool's earned a spot in our toolbox.

Vogon saw Biko outside in the wee hours of the morning today. He reported that she looks fine, had probably just finished eating from the bowl of dry food I set outside the door, and was on the stairs when he saw her. She ran off when he called her name.

I've been smiling on and off for days when I think about the printed tubal ligation announcements that phoena linked to from her childfree site a few site updates back.

I plan to design my own announcements in the not-too-distant future when I have the Essure procedure done. I'll post my finished blank up on Flickr for any who wants to print their own ( Read more... )

I survived Cub camp. Yay! We stowed the canopy, cooler and water jugs in the storage unit. Haven't decided whether to take the cart or not, but I put it out on the patio for now because the rubber-tire smell was pretty strong when the cart was sitting up on end in the entry over the weekend. Next up is setting dates for the summer committee ( Read more... )

A few product plugs before they fall out of my head:

After giving up on my half-hearted search for them, they found me: old-fashioned military-issue-style earplugs. I lost one of my pair several years ago and I've only been able to find the newer triple-flange style since. I look forward to reintroducing them into my rotating selection of earplugs ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, we perused the toothbrush selection at our local grocery store because Laurel needed a new one. While discussing the relative merits of adult toothbrushes with Vogon, we wound up on the Radius. After I mentioned that everyone I knew that used one was a convert and the thinner, softer bristles were supposed to be great for gum ( Read more... )

My FLYlady order arrived on Friday, so I'll be doing a lot of writing tomorrow getting my Control Journal and More Time Moms' calendar set up. I'm still amazed that after just a week of baby steps and fluttering, the living room no longer stresses me out, I'm slowly but surely decluttering the kitchen (my eventual goal is to keep the KitchenAid ( Read more... )
