So... taking time off from blogging and focusing on getting my life balanced has paid off. I got a new job. It pays better. (Like $20,000 more a year!) The boss is nicer. (Not difficult to achieve, I...
I have been getting some questions from my faithful followers as to whether or not I am okay. I have not posted in a while. I do still intend to blog, it just never happens. I suppose it is only fair...
A while ago, I obtained a hank of ArtYarns Silk Pearl. It is 100% silk and dyed beautifully. It also costs around $40, so I was pretty excited to get it. Last night, I figured I should wind it into a...
We had such a nice weekend this weekend! On Saturday, we grilled eggplant and mushrooms outside and sat on lawn chairs waiting for the supermoon to show up. Some of the neighbor kids came over and ta...

I had a pretty terrific weekend. Nothing special, but still awesome. The kids and I rented movies on Saturday night. We popped popcorn and made rootbeer floats and watched movies together. I got a li...
Unlike many other, more-dedicated Anthro-philes, I do not get to visit the website every day. I try and go online on Saturdays and sometimes I cannot.Today, I could... and I was seriously stoked by h...

Well, I found out what was going on with the job and it is completely unfair... but there is nothing I can do about it.In my field, many of the competing companies have been working out agreements am...
Well... reading in the afternoon yesterday did not end up working out. I actually ended up getting more work. A new project. But, oh well... Today I am working again. There is really nothing thrillin...
You know, I honestly felt tired and grumpy when I woke up this morning. I am just NOT a morning person and my daughter is. She has adjusted her schedule and now she goes to bed early and wakes up SUP...
Todays post is a little different than other posts. If this post had a moral it would be short and simple: Beautiful things are important.Heres the part where I get all wordy and tell you why. Bear w...

We had a meeting this morning where he made a snide comment in front of everyone about how I dont do anything. (WHAT???)Then, when I went in to talk to him about that comment, I told him that it was ...
Today is already turning out to be a bad day.On Sundays we have a tradition. I cant make pancakes to save my life, so on Sundays we get pancakes from McDonalds after church. I did that and I came bac...

Today was a big meeting day, so I had to look nice.It was also a day when I had a TON to do and not enough time to do it.Man... I wish I had worn flats now that the day is over.BUT, these shoes are p...
When the Juerga Gathering Skirt was full price, I kept putting it in my cart and then taking it away again. It was far too expensive to justify. $158 skirts just dont exist in my closet. In fact, any...
