I just learned how to check out the site statistics for sayitwithpie.com and the results are somewhat discouraging but also hilarious. For instance, I have an average of 44.37 visits per day and supposedly only 30% of those hits are real people rather than bots, but at least one person has visited the site by [...]

Or maybe I just felt like dropping $100 at the bookstore? Here’s some books/mags I got today to aid me in my quest to be a better Karen.

The one on the right is fancy-grade organic stone-ground flour from Bob’s Red Mill and cost me $6.99 for a 2.26 kg bag. I will use it to make delicious things like pizza dough and my favourite zucchini bread.
The one on the left is [...]

After buying a whole whack of unmentionables from The Candi Factory online the other day, I am a changed underwear consumer.
One of my new year’s resolutions was to stop buying disposable clothing. That’s right: no more 5 for $25 underwear from La Senza. It’s never comfortable, sometimes it has embarrassing slogans on it (”Sweet Thang”, [...]

Just saw the trailer for the movie 10,000 B.C., the upcoming “historical epic” from the director of Independence Day, The Patriot and The Day After Tomorrow.
