Sunday Sweets Visits the 80s

Sunday Sweets is my weekly NON-Wrecks feature, the better to show how wrecky the Wrecks really are.I grew up in the 80s, so I have a bit of a soft spot for the music, the movies, and the retina-searing color combinations of that decade. I also make funny squealing noises when I see...

Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party

For Me?

Just had to share one last Valentine Wreck - because it was for ME! Well, in a virtual sense.Sensitive Wreck Seeker Kate W. sent me an e-mail with the following message:"I just wanted you to know that my heart boats for you. And not even the loud and obnoxious kind that overturns...

The End of Sweetness

Ok, last Vday post. Honest.(Until the next one, that is. Heheheh.)Not that I can be certain these were really meant for Valentine's, of course. I mean, it's not like they give us many clues...I would ask for guesses, but my heart's just not in it. Besides, even though geography was...

It's a Form of Flattery. Honest.
