Well… I officially hate moving. What a pain. And WHAT a mess. My things are everywhere and, for now, totally disorganized. It’d be better if I wasn’t trying to squeeze time to pack ...
Pinot Grigio doesn’t inform your brain that you’re drunk. You can drink 7 glasses, but you never get the memo. Yet bad things happen which normally only happen when you’re a little ...
I had just about given up checking Craigslist for apartments, but some others I had looked at fell through for one reason or another and it caused me to skim it again on Monday. I inquired about one....
I’ve been eying milk glass vases and cake stands for some time on sites like Etsy and Ebay. It’s pretty. And elegant. And has such a lovely vintage feel. But. Milk glass is expensive. Fo...
I’m a little late on my resolutions. I’ve had “make your list of resolutions” in my to-do notebook for a week, now. Luckily for me, I’m flexible with my own time. 1) Be&...
It wasn’t even very cold out when I posted last. And now it’s less that 20 degrees. We have some explaining -and catching- up to do. School got crazy and it killed my mojo. All I could t...
Well Happy Friday is easy this week. :) My sister is coming home for a weekend visit and will be there shortly after I get home from work tonight! Thank GOD, it’s like part of me has been lost....
Today is the first day of Autumn. :) I’m pretty sure Autumn is my favorite season- though it’s hard to say for sure- every time the season’s change I kind of feel like the new seaso...
Eye exam. Paint and wallpaper shopping. Oil change. Bookcases. What? Oh yes. I’m building those damn bookcases today. Ugh, ok fine- I’ll admit it. My dear boyfriend is coming to help with...
The office’s night-time cleaning lady left us Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies. I’m not sure why she did this. But… :) Yum! Thanks, cleaning lady! Who ever you are… This promp...
oh man. Yawn. Seriously. Not that long ago- at least, at some point early 2010- I gave up coffee because I read “Skinny Bitch” and it convinced me to get actual sleep and not rely on caff...
Renegade Craft Fair is finally in Chicago this weekend! I have missed the Renegade Craft Fair more than once, now. I’d really like to see what it is all about. So, this year I was totally commi...
Hello and happy Friday! My house is clean. And that is exactly what is making me happy this week. After Andrea and Mom left I spent Sunday afternoon straightening and organizing. We really needed it ...
Andrea (my sister) packed up her car with the last of her stuff and set out for Colorado for the final time. It was really hard to see her drive off. Goodbyes are the worst; I was a little relieved ...
Hobbies are the best thing ever. I love crafts. I love creating. I’m interested in everything and I want to learn it all myself. You can never have enough hobbies or interests. Or can you? I ha...
I would love a vacation- it’s been too long since I’ve been anywhere. Maybe between semesters I’ll have a few bucks saved up to find a beach. I’ve been begging Adam to come to...
This quilt was my find of the week, but I didn’t buy it- it’s $70 and I couldn’t commit at that very minute in the store. I know it’s just a mobile picture but… isn̵...
One of the biggest reasons I love Facebook is that it allows me to shamelessly follow all the happy turns of my friends’ lives. Beautiful babies, lovely weddings, job promotions, moves to inter...
