Prying Eyes : Smiley Bryan was a unique combination of Boy Scout and hipster artist. He planted corn in his duplex garden, made paintings in his bedroom, and drove a huge pickup truck with the bumper sticker "My Kid Digs Ditches at Holcomb County Reform School" (posted Dec 31, 6:30am)

This Sweater Goes to 11 : The sweater still needed something. Something that would out-outlandish my co-workers' attire. I found what I was looking for at a craft store: Christmas lights that run off a battery pack. Jackpot. (posted Dec 23, 7:23am)

Cake Disaster : Best of Holidailies I first sensed that something was wrong when the strawberry-lemon filling required 3 saucepans and "chill at least 2 hours before using". It went downhill from there. (posted Dec 21, 9:19am)

Adventures in thrift : Nothing gives me quite the satisfaction as paying a super-low price for something. The older I get, the more I'm willing to work for it: coupons, rebates, sale papers. It takes me hours to get ready for the grocery store. It's a sickness. (posted Dec 8, 9:38pm)
