An Open Letter To My Friends at HGTV

Dear HGTV,
First of all, let me tell you what a huge fan I am of your channel.  I recently read the press release announcing your partnership with Heather Armstrong of Dooce and your show, Design Happens.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My (&*#$ing) Head!

Friends,
As you know, I’ve been sick the past few weeks.  I’ve spent my weekends indoors, wrapped in blankets, barely moving from the fetal position on the couch.  Yeah…it’s serious.  My husband says I’m just being dramatic.

Merry SITSmas!

Oh how I love getting holiday mail! My husband doesn’t bother getting the mail because it’s my job.  Just like it’s his job to take out the recycling, it’s mine to get the mail.  Equal partnership and chores at its finest.  It boggles my mind when November 30th rolls around and I begin receiving the [...]
