Bruce Willis Knitting

Posted on May 12, 2011 by This Woman Writes

I confess: I engage in reckless behavior. Sometimes I salt my food before I taste it. I set the cruise control for two miles over the speed limit. If the headache’s bad enough, I’ll take two aspirin instead of one. … Continue reading →

Home Office Space — The Final Frontier

Posted on March 3, 2011 by This Woman Writes

While designated space is nice, reality is that most of what’s available is taken up by dining room tables and sofas and bedrooms for children still living in the house and toilets and such, and when you want to carve a niche out for your business or hobby, you have to be as creative as what you plan to do once you get the space to do it in.

The Amazing Advantage to Being Incredibly Nearsighted

Posted on February 23, 2011 by This Woman Writes

Posted on October 14, 2010 by This Woman Writes
