| Karma, Wrapped Up Like a Pressie | | 2008-05-06 19:06:20 | | Your beloved elders are concerned about your mum and I throwing our own baby shower for you. They have legit points …
“This list sounds like a gift grab,” admits one grandmother.
“What would Emily Post write about this?” says the other.
These wise women, with child-rearing now behind them, know what’s what. Forty, thirty, even twenty years ago, this was taboo.
In fact, Emily Post loathed baby showers hosted by parents-to-be. If she were alive today — at 136 years-old — she’d hate blogs, too.
But Mrs. Post is dead, and these are modern times — far from Model Ts and Fifth Avenue society niceties. And we want a party.
As for the list, we’re doing what any focussed couple-to-be would do, pre-wedding. While china breaks, BPA-free baby bottles don’t.
“I think we should NOT listen to our old parents,” says your mum.
“Isn’t that going to bite us in the butts one day?” asks your dad.... | | By: Metta Says Ums - Her Story Begins Here | | |
| | Miley Cyrus wrapped in bedsheet? | | 2008-05-01 12:52:56 | | So, everyone is focused on the fact that this Disney princess supposedly posed naked for this obviously artistic photo (it’s Annie Leibowitz!) for Vanity Fair. But did someone take a note of what was wrapped around her?
While New York Times calls it simple a bedsheet, photoshoot style director, Michael Roberts says that — “It’s a [...]... | | By: Mattresszine | | |
| | Chicken wrapped in Ham & Cheese | | 2008-04-30 21:44:01 | | A friend of ours from church brought this dish over after Liza’s surgery. It kind of reminds me of a chicken cordon bleu. She said it was a family favorite and it turned out to be a hit with our family as well, including the kids. You can’t beat that.
1 pkg. boneless chicken [...]... | | By: Bartholomew Buffet | | |

| | Nicole Kidman Wrapped In Tin Foil | | 2007-12-17 11:55:24 | | I’m not going to be like my favorite gal pals (call me!) at Go Fug Yourself and compare Nicole Kidman to the tin man because of the super shiny silver outfit she wore at the premier for the Golden Compass. Instead, I’m more reminded of a baked potato wrapped in tin foil. Not [...]... | | By: U Suxxors | | |
| | Write Back (Ugh!) Wednesday "All Wrapped Up With No Place To Go" | | 2007-12-12 17:16:00 | | Tis' the season to be thinking of that perfect gift to give that special someone, but it's also a great time to think about what you want to get as well. I'm the first to admit that while I enjoy giving good gifts, I find the gift giving process to be so stressful. I have such a hard time thinking of that great gift and even when I do think of something, I often second guess if they will like it or even worse, if they have it already. Somewhere along the way most of us lose sight of why we are giving and getting gifts in the first place, to show appreciation for the ones we care about and "reward" someone for being them.While I stress out about giving the perfect gift, I have adopted to somewhat a lame approach to gift giving, at least when all else fails. When I can't think of anything else to get someone, I get the gift that allows them to shop for themselves, a gift certificate. Knowing where they like to shop or eat helps, and it's easy to do, too. Sure some people say it takes no thought, but I look at it like this, you can put a lot of thought into something that someone may return, or you can give them the money so they can do with it what they wish. The intent is still the same, you're just cutting out the middle man. Think of these certificates as the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" of the gift giving world. Amazingly enough, while gift certificates are a tried and true staple, I'm only giving out a few of them this year. One of my friends stops at Dunkin' Donuts every morning on the way to work so I decided to get her a certificate to there. Then for my secret Santa gift I purchased a Kohl's gift card since I don't know the person all that well.Lucky for me my "other half" is much better at picking out creative gifts for the loved ones in our lives. It's not that I don't put any thought into it, but there are a lot of people who are very hard to shop for because they fall under one of three categories: pick... | | By: The Art of Getting By | | |

| | Wire Wrapped Pearl Flower Bracelet | | 2007-10-19 17:22:22 | | This bracelet is made for my sister in-law to go with this necklace. Since I made this necklace about 2 months ago, I must admit that I barely remember how to start with this flower formation...lol. Old age :).
Anyway, she relayed some good news to me last night. Seems that some of my handcrafted wire jewelry pieces are selling well in Calgary :). You see, when she left Kuching last September,... | | By: Wire Bliss: Handcrafted Wire Wrapped Jewelry | | |
| | Yin & Yang Wire Wrapped Pendant | | 2007-10-16 02:36:48 | | Today I got my hair cut really really short. Reason being, I am too lazy to manage long hair and I would rather spend more time with my wire jewelry :) While flipping through a magazine in the hair saloon, I came across a Yin&Yang accessories. Ping! That immediately gave me an idea and once done with the hair, rushed home to get started with the project before the idea got dissolved or distracted... | | By: Wire Bliss: Handcrafted Wire Wrapped Jewelry | | |
