Posted Monday, October 29, 2007 6:56 PM

Bedroom walls - I don't know why decorating here has been such a challenge for me, maybe from years of being able to be "girly" and now thinking it probably shouldn't be feminine. So, here's the "R&R" I mentioned in an earlier blog (painted wooden

Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is only fiction.

Posted Thursday, October 25, 2007 3:49 PM

Did I watch too much Mr. Roger’s Neighborhoodas a child? I mean, once I’m established in my home and someone moves into the neighborhood, I’m the type to show up at the door to introduce myself with a plate of cookies. And I guess I was just expecting

Fright Night and R&R

Posted Wednesday, October 24, 2007 1:01 AM

Phantom Fright Night was NOT as scary as I anticipated (whew!). It was just Kennywood at night and crowded! There was "fog" everywhere and spooky broken carousel music (I have to admit the music was a little creepy). They announced that there were 16,000

Preacher Joel Osteen - says wives should shop at Victoria's Secret. Now, I don't have a problem with that - I love lingerie and sexy nighties just like most every girl. But I do have some commentary of my own. #1 - If I was a stay at home wife/mom, I'd

Comp Day

Posted Monday, October 15, 2007 5:27 PM

I'm home! I'm not sick. I earned the day off by working on a Sat. I really wanted to sleep in but I'm glad that getting everyone else up and out the door made me wide awake, otherwise I'd just be getting out of bed! And the sun is even shining today.

Fall? Autumn? Hello?

About DANGERUSS & MITTENS

My husband calls me Mittens. I adore my husband, girls (19 & 16), our dapple doxie, Niski and spending time with family. I love the D&R board - you can usually find me there. It's a good thing I love D&R since we bought an old farmhouse last year that needs a complete cosmetic makeover. I love decorating & rearrange the furniture every time I clean. Yes, nearly once a week! I also love all things pink & girly. I'm an entrepreneur (wanna-be supermodel, actress, writer and princess - but my wanna-be status changes frequently). I love to blog. :)
