This week I… Had the best arcade night EVER and won 300 tickets on the Wheel of Fortune stop-the-light game, which I then used to get a RIBBON DANCER Stopped biting my nails Have been attemptin...
This weekend, which seemed to begin on Thursday, was the best weekend of 2012. I’m just going to declare it now, because I highly doubt any other weekend is going to be filled with as much fun ...
I love Goodwill. Like really, obsessively LOVE it. Last year when I got my first Alone Apartment (yes, that is capitalized) I was unemployed, so I really didn’t have money for anything but rent...
Remember that week in March where it hit nearly 80? And I was ridiculously excited? And opened all my ancient windows (while simultaneously fearing I would never get them shut again) and turned off m...
I’m not going to start this post with an apology, a welcome back, or any of that. Let’s just dive right in. We had a faux spring in New England a few weeks ago, and it brought back all th...
This week (or the past 9 days or so) I… Got a terrible cold that I’ve been sniffling, sneezing, and coughing my way through. I actually drank two shots of vinegar to try to ward away illn...
Last week I… Got a new hamster that I am co-parenting with my friend Alex. Her name is Josephine Francesca (aka Joey, Jo, JoJo, FrannyJo) Talked to my sister on the phone for over an hour and w...
This week I… Went to a cafe in Vermont and actually sat down and wrote for a long time Celebrated my wife’s 30th birthday with all of my other hens Had an amazing dinner with two friends ...
So, yeah, I never remember to take pictures of myself when I dig my outfit. And my digital camera kinda sucks, and it’s timer is wicked sucky, and I’m not very good at using a tripod, so ...
Things I did in 2011 * Lived by myself for the first time * Went from unemployed, to a front desk clerk, to the sales manager of my hotel * Lived on a strict budget – successfully * Gained a hu...
If you follow me on a Twitter, you know about my 1970s vintage obsession. And most likely, my vintage owl collection. My vintage obsession began around 2009 – I started buying vintage dresses o...
I was out the other day with a friend wandering around stores, TJ Maxx and Target mostly. ANd I was pumped to look at some clothing. Until I actually tried to find something I liked. And I looked at ...
I miss being a fashion blogger. I miss taking pictures. And online shopping. And tweeting. Especially living alone, tweeting is a nice communication device when you feel like you’...
It started at the hotel. Maybe it was her familiar all black ensemble, or the loud hum of the computer sever. The lobby was under construction and empty. Mismatched wallpaper, uneven floor tiles, cei...
It’s 11 pm on a Tuesday. I worked 10-6 today, which typically is my favorite shift, especially Tuesdays and Thursdays, because those are my sales days which I spend organizing, creating, and le...
The recent heatwave reminded me that it is indeed summer and I am still alive. Which is very shocking to me. Even more shocking, is the degree of happiness I experience regularly, which...
I haven’t written in my blog for so long. My wordpress dashboard actually feels a bit unfamiliar to me. What happens when you fail at blogging? Do you leave your domain and site here to languis...
I wish I could get out of my own head sometimes. Once thing I’ve noticed about myself since I struck out on my own is my intense scrutiny and analysis of everything. I cannot seem to enjoy the ...
Adding a new blog post is so intimidating to me now…I just get overwhelmed and write draft after draft, quite halfway through, and then don’t end up posting. I don’t have the “...
Today was 8 months since I left. I left on October 1, packed up Skinny Sarah’s car with clothes and the dogs, and I never came back. Sometimes, it feels like it all never happened. That those n...
This past week the spring weather overtook the Berkshires and everything finally turned green. Everything had been dead for so long, it seemed the leaves grew on the trees in my backyard overnight. W...
My blog used to be my savior. My internet world was my escape from a job I didn’t like and a place to go when I was lonely (which was very often.) It’s neither of those things anymore. I ...
Just a quick post to let you all know I setup an etsy shop for plus size vintage clothes! Right now it has about 10 dresses/suits and I’ll be adding more over the next few days, so check it out...
Two days in a row? Damn. I’ve had my late evening time to myself lately, and I actually have my tripod out and setup and my camera charged – so I was a bit ambitious. Despite the fact tha...
Whoa, been a while since an OOTD of the post. I really, REALLY suck at taking pictures of myself. It takes ages because I have to reset my camera’s timer each time, and my apartment is small so...
Oh, my poor, neglected blog and internet life. The girl who could barely be separated from her blog or twitter now barely turns on her laptop each day. (But still compulsively checks e-mails, tweets,...
It’s been a while since I’ve had a really personal post…being back in the mountains means that a lot of my friends here read my blog more so than they did when I was away, so it mak...
OOTD: Suit Up Suit: Salvation Army Necklace: Gift from my bestie Shoes: Gap (only heels I had at the time!)
