Goodbye, 20s. The benefit of being born right at the end of one decade means that … well, each decade represents an even x0-x0 of my life (more or less.) So, the 2000′s (did we ever come up with what we’re calling these? I still like Naughties…) were my 20s, even though I turned 30 [...]

Last night, Nick & I took Justice for a walk up Trinity Street to look at the christmas light displays and argued about whether or not our house is kid-friendly. I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Saga of a Door

(How much you wanna bet this won’t get as much response as my kindle post? Hey, it’s a door! Yay!) So, the front door of my office building has been broken for weeks. It doesn’t latch properly, leaving it open a few inches most of the time. The wind blows it open, going through the [...]

Thanks to my parents, I got a Kindle for Christmas. I buy — easily — a hundred books a year (and read twice that — I re-read a lot of my old books.) I read a lot. I ALWAYS have a book with me, I don’t care if I’m going to a club or a [...]

I am a spoiled, spoiled girl. Our xmas eve party was awesome. Many friends, much fun, a lot of Rock Band (and apparently I need a few more mics, the harmony part of Rock Band: Beatles is awesome) and even some Space Hulk… Yeah, it was good. We should do this more often. A few [...]

Yes, I’m getting a Kindle for Christmas, and yes, I’m very excited. So I’ve been getting the occasional email from Amazon, since it’s already registered to me, and I even bought a book so that when I open it on Christmas afternoon, I can start using it right away. So I wasn’t surprised when I [...]
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas

Sunday was the December Blim Craft Marketplace, and thanks to a last minute cancellation, kdot & I were able to get a table for Christmas Selling Goodness. It was grand! I’ve had some time to develop my table a bit more, and had hit up Wonderbucks (incidentally, if you are not aware, Wonderbucks is amazing. [...]

Meet… well, Puppy. He doesn’t quite have a name yet. And no, he’s not mine, he belongs to Carol Ann. Yes, Carol Ann got a new puppy for Christmas. Despite all the “you shouldn’t get a puppy for Christmas” stuff, this actually makes a lot of sense — my parents have a month off work [...]
Sweater Puppies

I hate dogs in sweaters. Y’know, I don’t mind small dogs. I grew up with miniature dachshunds, and they were awesome. I’m not a huge fan of high pitched yappy things, but hey, dogs are dogs. I like dogs. I don’t like dogs in clothes. Seriously, it’s a DOG. Stop making it look like a [...]
Soap Opera

…minus the opera. So, I’ve been making some soap, right? Some of it, I’m totally proud of. Like when I came across these skull shaped ice cube trays at a curiousities store on the drive, and made these: Seriously, how awesome is that?
