Thanks for the giggle (and the comfort)! Love this line:
“I’ve learned that if I show up with pizza and wine, no one realizes that I ‘forgot’ my scrapbook supplies.” Brilliant!

You’re better at “faking” than I am!

For what it’s worth, I see nothing wrong with not preparing meals from scratch. I try something, and if my family ignores it, then it is worth the extra $$ at the grocery store for me to buy pre-made.

I love the bit about flowers, and have been doing the toilet bowl cleaner in the entire bathroom for a while now. Why waste time and money on so many extra cleaners when just one will do?

Wow what’s up with Blushing hostess? Somehow I don’t think that attitude is too hospitable. Oh my anyway I for one loved your post. I can sooo relate and I have 3 kids. Keep up the great work. Do you have a personal blog?

Ahh, an honest woman – and my kind of house keeping. It is SO all about short cuts! Thanks for the post.

I understand the scrapbooking thing. (or crapbooking as my DH calls it. . .) I also spent a ton of money and the stuff and it’s still in the bag from the scrapbooking store. Been in the drawer since 2005 and it’s not moving anytime soon.

And you’re awesome – down with the haters!

Oh, a kindred soul. I am a good cook but everything else that is “domestic” I don’t do. Seriously. I just don’t do it. So if you ever want to come visit, tell me several days in advance or I simply won’t be able to open the door to my messy house.

First of all, I think Blushing Hostess should learn to not say anything if you can’t say something nice. Not everyone is good at everything and until that can be learned, you will continue to look down on people and write them off. I am sure Kathy is much better than you in many areas and vice versa.

Kathy – I think your personality is hilarious and this made me laugh out loud. You are an awesome fashionista, non-sewing or not.

Hi Susanna!

Thanks for the love, glad I am not the only one who has tried and failed at the scrapbooking thing!

I have had your site in Reader for three days but I am removing my subscription. I was a prod. dev. director for two fashion firms you know, people should not be in that line of work if they cannot pick up a needlenor broadcast that you chose not to educate yourself in the time you did the job. But, the really sad part about this post is that you assume your readers prefer work-arounds to do a shoddy job over learning how to truly do a thing well. Also, premoistened floor wipes do not clean anything. Take it from me, I take some pride in learning to do the best job possible. And, fyi – there is always time to get it done if you need to. Disappointing and, not surprisingly, not a well-done job…

Hey, you did better with your scrapbooking than I did. At least you have 5 pages! I just have a giant, blank scrapbook that was supposed to contain my wedding pictures. I think it’s somewhere in the attic right now.

Love your blog, BTW. Definitely adding you to my blogroll!
