Given the choice, I'd rather spend an afternoon perusing old junk (the more I have to dig, the better I like it). I have an affinity for shelter magazines, old institutional furniture, and compulsive organizing. I have a patient, indulgent engineer of a husband who simply can't fathom why anyone would blog. We have three young children who vie with me for computer time so they can play Hot Wheels Stunt Track and Polly Pocket games (the youngest just colors on the furniture). We also have four assorted cats and a golden retriever with emotional issues.
