My Quest for a Simple Life, These are a Few of My Favorite Things / November 21, 2012
I’m back on the island this week. I know, “Weren’t you just there?” In a word: Yes. It will be my last trip for the foreseeable future, so I’m making the most of it.
Also? I know I used to tell stories and stuff, but these days I don’t have much to say.… Read More

I haven’t really shared much about my happy place. Yes, I like to share pictures and a funny story or two, but not that many people have a lot of insight into what exactly I do when I’m up there.
I wish I had something really wild and exciting to tell you, but the truth is — there just isn’t much to say.… Read More

fashion, Thrifty Mama / October 26, 2012
It’s been a while since I did a fashion post. Fall hasn’t really gotten here and, in fact, it’s been in the 80s for the past six weeks. Plus, taking pictures, editing them, and then making collages is more time consuming than one might think — it takes FOREVER.
So, I’m doing a lazy post today using my Instagram pics.… Read More

If you need me, I’ll be rolling rice balls on my back porch. Come to meeee…. Come to meeee….

Last time I posted something funny my mom emailed me it was an internet joke that a grandma would love. This time, my mom sent me a sex joke that, well…um…errrr.
Sorry. I can’t get past “my mom sent me a sex joke.”
“Flo’s Diary on a Cruise Ship”
DEAR DIARY – DAY 1
All packed for the cruise ship – all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, short sets. Really, really exciting.

I Hate Your Dog / October 4, 2012

Confession: I don’t like dogs.
I know. Just when you thought you sort of liked me, I have to go and reveal something as shameful as not liking (ok, hating) dogs.
But…. I’m still a good person. I swear.
My next confession: I started a blog devoted to my hatred.
It’s totally scary — admitting you hate one of the world’s most adored domesticated animals.… Read More
Top Tens / September 27, 2012
You may have noticed I haven’t blogged in a while. I could sit here and make (more) excuses about why my poor blog is taking a beating (again), but that’s not very fun, is it?
Here is what I’ve been doing:
1. Painting my bathrooms.
Both are vintage 60s tile: one pink, one yellow.… Read More
90's Hottie / September 10, 2012

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a 90s Hottie for us to all drool over. To be honest with you: I’m having kind of a hard time coming up with some good ones.
Sure, I could post pictures of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and all the other 90s Hottie staples, but where is the fun and originality in that?… Read More
