The blog is a little slow this week.  There are two reasons for this.

First, the new design is launching next Tuesday/Wednesday.  I have final confirmation of this.  It is glorious, but it needs my attention.

Second, I started a new job this week.  I am somehow back on the political campaign trail.  We’ll discuss this more at a later date, but today, as I was editing a donor list, I kept thinking, “I feel 25 again, but with grey hair and cellulite.”

What Caught My Eye. You know I love a good remodel.

What’s Offensive. That thousands of women are suing Kay jewelers for sexual harassment, and the jeweler may have swapped out diamonds in customer’s rings for cheaper stones.

What I Bought with My Amazon Gift Card.  A blender.  I’m officially an old person.
