I’m SUCH a girl!

August 29, 2008

Otherwise, there’s no way in hell that I would’ve even watched one minute of one episode of what could potentially be, sigh, my new favorite catty/dramatic/ridiculous/”reality” show obsession.
That’s right, I’m officially obsessed with:

Rachel Zoe and her craptacular (yet, still addictive) new Bravo reality series, The Rachel Zoe Project.
First, let me say that Rachel’s assistant, [...]

Fifteen.

August 28, 2008

No, I’m not talking about the super-dramatic yet kind of addictive teen Nickelodeon drama (because it was so bad it was good), that aired from 1990-1993, starring Ryan Reynolds. I’m talking about the number of years I’ve been out of high school and the number that appeared before the words “Year High School Reunion” on [...]

The AMD Logo Project: Day 3

Back in the saddle and being very initial-y and full of stars:

Craftuesday. Cast off.

August 27, 2008

Well, look at me. I’m officially a knitter. (can I say that now? I’m not really sure.)
My friend, Stacie, invited me over to her house last night for wine and sundaes (yes, I had an ice cream sundae that probably equaled about 15 points but, what the hell, right? I’m still down 7 lbs), drag [...]

Here I go writing about Mad Men again.

Jeez. I know. I know. It’s obvious by now that I’m infatuated with the style on this show. I can’t help it.
After having my love for the show decline, last night’s episode wet my appetite for what’s to come. For one thing, there was more drama and fewer bedroom scenes (which tend to bore the [...]

What will normal feel like?

August 22, 2008

I just uploaded my photo to the Wardrobe Remix group for the first time since last week. I titled it the above. It’s the thing I’ve been asking myself all day.
As most of you know or could gather, my father passed away last Sunday. It wasn’t a complete surprise, but that didn’t make it any [...]

My dad.

August 18, 2008

The things I got from my dad:

My blue eyes
My short stature
My strong legs
My artistic abilities

The things I learned from my dad:

If you believe and have courage, you can do anything you set your mind to.
Never, ever be ashamed of who you are.
Never give up.

My dad was the strongest person I know. He fought hard and [...]

The AMD Logo Project: Day 3

August 15, 2008

Paying homage to the 50s. Patterned off of a Concen-Creme logo:

A house is not a home…

August 15, 2008

…until you truly love it.
I bought my house two years ago. From the outside, it looked like this:

When I first saw it, I was all “hell naw!” but, when I saw the interior’s potential (the home was built in the 1950s and there had only been one owner, who pretty well kept things intact…both bad [...]

The AMD Logo Project: Day 2

This one is kind of obvious.
