Too funny not to post.

Heading to Ikea? Shopping For "Cultural Imperialism?"
by CitizenSugar
I don't know too many houses that don't contain an Ikea doodad or two (hundred, in my case) but I had no idea that I was disrespecting my Danish heritage with my love of the ISERUD. So the story is this: the Danes are accusing Swedish home-furnishings giant Ikea of cultural imperialism because in the wacky Ikea naming scheme, it turns out all of the doormats, floor coverings, and less-than-glamorous items are given Danish names, while the fancy things like beds and sofas are all Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish names.

What Kind of Clutterbug Are You?

The items that constitute clutter are extremely varied and depend on the circumstances and personalities in each household. And there are several different categories of clutter, depending on the nature of a person’s “attachment”‘ to things, our research showed.

Emotional clutter has sentimental meaning but little financial value. It could include children’s toys or drawings, unused or unwanted gifts, school or university notes, or the personal possessions of absent loved ones.

Just-in-case clutter has little or no sentimental value but since it “might come in handy one day” it is kept for some time. Examples include old bills or bank statements, tools or stationery.

Bargain clutter is free or very cheap items acquired at sales, from friends or family or “by the side of the road”. Certain personality types tend to be especially attracted to bargain clutter.

Bought clutter consists of impulse purchases that never end up being used. It commonly includes clothes, fashion accessories and electronic items and is strongly linked to wasteful consumption.

Guess which I am before you click the comments and tell the world which you are.

Communication is Key in Any Relationship

I thought about printing this out and taking it with me to pre-marriage counseling tomorrow night. What's your vote?

We're supposed to focus on conflict resolution and communication.

We scored really well in 2 categories. One was finances; the other was another major source of tension in marriages. I won't mention it in polite company. This is a PG-13 blog.

Always Eat Dessert First

The foodie over at YumSugar certainly has the right idea. While, I have no qualms about eating dessert first it makes some (Grandma, starving kids in Africa) uncomfortable. So here's a little something to ease their minds/disguise my dissonance.

How about a little spaghetti for dessert?
