Special Accommodations for Slob Vision

November 11, 2012 By Dana White 10 Comments

It’s happened.

It has really, truly happened.

We . . . have been validated, people.

I had lunch at Johnny Carino’s last week and asked for a to-go box for my more-than-enough lunch sized portion. The waiter took my plate to fix the box for me (love it when they do that), and brought back this:

That’s right. Though I live under the (vain) assumption that I do NOT, in fact, look like a slob, he made special accommodations for me.

Special accommodations for those who suffer from Slob Vision.

For those unable to recall the contents of an opaque container. Those who (IF they happen to even notice that the container exists) assume it has been there long enough that opening it would be too scary.

Besides, they don’t remember what is in there anyway.

So thank you, Mr. Server Man, for your kind service and attention to detail.

It’s nice to feel like someone cares

Childrens Clothes Bargains You Can Shop for from Home

November 9, 2012 By Dana White 7 Comments

I used to buy ONLY used clothing for my kids.  I could claim that it was because I was so green, but the truth was . . . I was cheap. I’m still cheap, but since I’ve (mostly) banned myself from going to garage sales, I generally end up paying a lot more than I […]

Before and After Pictures: Three Minutes Later

November 8, 2012 By Dana White 13 Comments

As I was cleaning up the kitchen this morning, I realized how much this area has been driving me crazy. We’ve had a lot of coughing and allergies and fever going on around here, so it just makes no sense to my brain to put this stuff away in the cabinet above this counter.  Especially […]

A 7 Month, 4 Minute and 36 Second Project

November 7, 2012 By Dana White 11 Comments

Why do I do these things? Or not do them. Last spring (y’know, TWO seasons ago), I had the great idea to spiff up my daughter’s room for her sixth birthday.  I bought some cute stuff I knew she would love.  Stuff that matched her funky-colors doll house she got last Christmas. Yep.  I’m a […]

Permission to Throw it Away

November 6, 2012 By Dana White 29 Comments

No.  I’m not talking about getting permission from my child to throw her stuff away. I’m talking about giving myself permission. Permission to finally throw away these once-loved-but-no-longer-used items. Books are nice.  They rarely feel like clutter, and are so easily donated. Toys with lots-of-teeny-tiny-parts?  They’re not nice.  They feel like clutter on Day One, […]

The Master Bedroom Saga: Putting Stuff Back (Part 8)

November 5, 2012 By Dana White 9 Comments

I did the whole Master Bedroom Saga over the course of two weeks. Two exhausting weeks. Two exhausting weeks when I was able to devote a ton of attention to this project because school had just started but life hadn’t.  Meaning, I didn’t have commitments yet.  And I had a deadline. Which I totally need […]

Black Bean Lettuce Wraps (And my Weekly Menu Plan)

November 4, 2012 By Dana White 6 Comments

I intended to post this recipe during the 31 Days of Lame Excuses series.  I was going to title it, “But Veggies Don’t Fill Me Up . . . ” But I didn’t post it.  I could come up with an excuse for why I didn’t . . . . Anyway, this is a recipe […]

“It’s Never That Simple” – Kitchen Remodeling Cleanup

November 1, 2012 By Dana White 12 Comments

I titled this post: “It’s Never That Simple.” Which is a lie. “It” (whatever that means) often is that simple. But projects like this one are the ones that stick in my head and justify my procrastination on the ba-jillions of projects that ARE that simple. Earlier this week, a guy came by to cut […]
