7 Quick Takes: October 28, 2011 (Vol. 101)

~ 1 ~ I’ve noticed that I have been spending less time on Facebook and Twitter lately.  (Not so much on the Pinterest front though.  Still lovin’ me some Pinterest.)  In fact, my Klout score even kind of tanked.  I was glad that when I saw that, I didn’t even flinch.  I figure that meant [...]

I was very pleased recently to get a chance to try out the Dish Drying Mats from Garden Botanika.  Well, hang on.  That’s not exactly true.  Actually – I was going to try them out, but I kind of thought, “I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do with these, since I don’t even [...]
