Last week I mentioned that my shop, Life’s Candy is participating in our first ever handmade market, in what is now less than two weeks. (Cue panic attack.) In preparation for the show/to resto...
That’s basically what we’ve been around here lately! I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that we’re in the process of renovating our guest bathroom/Piper’s bathroom, and that...
Sometimes? When you bitch about something enough? People ask you to write about it like, for real. So today I’m over at BlogHer talking about how screwed up Netflix is, and since my editor is a...
I’m working on a vision board this week, and I think I found my real spirit animal. It’s a yak, if you’re not familiar. And he seems to me to be pretty steadfast in his refusal to c...
I know I’ve mentioned Karen to you before. Remember? She’s the one who did what I did… jumped off the corporate cliff with no real ideas on how to fly. She’s one of the people...
I remember where I was when I heard that the first tower had been hit. I remember the chair I was sitting in. I remember the tabloid piece I was reading on the internet when I answered the phone and ...
We’ve been very busy, around here. We started demo in the guest bath this weekend, and along the way made a somewhat odd discovery behind the sunken medicine cabinet: Oooh look! An escape hatch...
Wednesday is StoryTime at our library, and this makes Wednesday one of our favorite days. As a one car family living in Central Florida, having an air conditioned, educational activity complete with ...
I’m in a state of waiting right now. I don’t wait very well. I’m waiting for the heat to break so we can plant the garden and leave the house after 11 am. Waiting for the weekend so...
I’m having one of those weeks. One of those weeks where your wildest dreams seem simultaneously completely within reach and absolutely beyond imagining. It’s a strange place to be. WeR...
I’ve been meaning to introduce you to Steve for a while now. Steve the Beeve. Steve lives in the garage freezer. Well. Not lives, really. The above actually represents a little over 3/4 what we...
I hardly ever do WW but I had to share this photo and there’s not too many words to go with it. A couple of months ago the HOA sent us a lovely letter stating that they’d prefer our front...
So last week all I wrote about was BlogHer and Gee! Aren’t you so glad that’s over? Well it is. Except for this one photo that I can’t help myself from sharing. This was the scene i...
My good friend Liz, after reading a pre-BlogHer freak out email from me a few weeks ago compared the parties and meet ups I was describing as sounding very “Real Housewives” but without t...
So I have some more to say about BlogHer 2011. Apparently. There were some definite low points and some seriously high points and I thought I’d share some of mine. But not all. Because I don...
I’m pretty sure that phrase was used in my most recent professional assessment, you know, before I quit my job. My current professional assessment probably looks a lot more like “remember...
While I’m waiting for my toe nail polish to dry so I can finish my BlogHer ’11 packing I just had to say something about the recent announcement that an animated Mister Rogers’ Neig...
First I just want to say thanks for the comments on last week’s Part One post. You guys are great. Also I should blog about more serious stuff more often because apparently it gets the lurkers ...
is doubt. Without it believing in the hard stuff would be as easy as believing in the simple stuff. Because some things just are. Or rather, some things just SEEM like they are because they make sens...
I didn’t mean to not blog for so long, but the sicknesses just kept stacking up. As in I’d be moderately healthy for 4 days then crappy sick again. It seems to be that time of year for me...
Thursday July 7th. 6:30 PM. Our dinner table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Me: I finished that book by that guy who hikes his way from Times Square to Vermont, so you can read it now. It was ...
My house is cleaner than it was when I was working. But there are still toothpaste spots on my bathroom mirror. I don’t know if I’ll ever be a size 6 again. I’ll probably never get ...
I’m still sick. Or sick again. Depending on how you look at it. When we came back from Michigan I was fighting a cold and by Saturday I thought I had won, but Sunday I started feeling really wo...
Dudes… I had an awesome vacation with the family in Michigan last week. Unfortunately I came home sporting an annoying head cold, a busy week and about a million photos of butterflies and horse...
Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do. One of my f...
Every night after dinner we go out to the garden. At this point she calls the whole backyard the garden. Like she’s British. We water the tomatoes, we weed a little, we play hide and seek, we r...
I may have mentioned it once or twice before, but in case you haven’t noticed… I don’t like Florida very much. Especially in the summer. This is the time of year I want to murder pe...
My last day of my previous job was one month ago today, so I thought it was about time for a check in to answer all of those “how’s it going?” questions. So far this job kicks my ol...
The time zone shenanigans were intense. I was awake for 24 hours straight. Two out of 4 airplane seatmates were annoying and/or smelled of patchouli and ate whole fresh raspberries very slowly one at...
Time: Wednesday May 25th at 10:06 PM Place: The Internet Conversation: me: ok are you around? because there’s kind of a thing Mandy: i am me: ok so …. i found a flight it’s affordab...
