It is a great mystery to me how anyone manages to work full-time and maintain a blog simultaneously. However, Hugh Laurie’s mystery is greater still: Once more, with [somewhat less] feeling! See? So great! Talk about improving with age. What’s the big mystery in your life today? [...] 
Wow, this giveaway business is harder than it looks. Could it be that not everyone loves antique squares of embroidered fabric? How is that possible? More for us, I suppose! This week’s fortunate winner is……. KATIE, WITH COMMENT #1 !!! Slip me your address, lady, and I’ll send the goods. Remember Desdemona and [...] 
Moments ago, Mr. Jaunty said “I really want one of these [outrageously fancy and expensive] new phones.” I would have cracked a joke about his weakness for gadgets, but I was busy sorting my sealing wax collection by color. What gets you nerdy? [...] 
In a few hours, I begin 2-3 weeks of full-time training for my new job. This may be fun. It may be a bleeding nightmare. I have no idea what to expect. I may or may not be able to sleep tonight. Times like this call for music, so here are a few favorite songs [...] 
TODAY, ladies and gentlemen, marks the third anniversary of my first date with Mr. Jaunty. You may applaud. If anyone’s interested, I can tell you the story of how I worshiped Mr. Jaunty from afar—- he was called “Ian” back then— how I almost blew our first date, how we ended up together, why our first [...] 
Interview with Amy Dacyczyn, author of my beloved Tightwad Gazette! After years of poring over her work, I feel as if I’ve finally ‘met’ Amy and her famous pre-1900 New England farmhouse (with attached barn):

What the well-dressed funeral-goer is carrying this season: And who is that well-dressed handkerchief recipient? COMMENT #5 —-greyloon! Greyloon, I have your address and will mail your handkerchief after breakfast. Thanks to all commenters for playing along and teaching me a stack of exciting new “D” words. Wish something pretty would magically appear [...] 
When I couldn’t find a job last summer, this song ran through my head every day: Poor Jemaine. Now, well into autumn, I am pleased to announce that I DON’T have to be a prostitute; I have two (legal!) part-time jobs, and neither one involves sex acts… to my knowledge. By day, I will [...] 
This is Columbus Day, National Coming Out Day, AND the first-ever birthday of jauntydame.com. To celebrate, I will now discover a continent 500 years after Leif Ericson, come out of the closet, and buy myself a present. What, you want a present, too? Something pretty, but small enough to carry everywhere? Fair enough. How about [...] 
Say, have I ever told you how I ‘met’ my future wives? I discovered Sarah through a BUST feature praising her Target Women segment on current.com. While I much prefer Bitch, Bust deserves credit for bringing us together. I’ve seen Modern Lady, and Erin Gibson is growing on me. Not in any way that [...] |
