A short time away.

A lot has happened over the past week. I’ve been so busy with work and planning fun things and doing fun things that I’ve neglected my lil’ old blog.
Last week, I found myself working most every day, straight through with minimal breaks. By the time the weekend got here, I was pretty exhausted. But, I [...]

I just canceled my Weight Watchers Monthly Pass.

Yep. That’s right. I did.
Here’s the thing. I’ve been doing well. I know it. And I owe a lot of that well doing to the WW, for sure. But, in these times, do I really need to be spending $39.95/month on a membership when I have the idea planted firmly in my head? I know. [...]

It’s all too much.

No. I’m not talking about that really good song by The Cars. Or even that really good cover of that song by the Red House Painters. I’m talking about clutter, people. And, maybe not the type you see on Clean House, but definitely the kind that is starting to drive this woman crazy. So, I [...]

Modern Seamster

Thanks to Miss Andrea for sending me a link to a new crafty magazine called Modern Seamster. The first issue is available for free download here. It’s worth a look!

Together We Are Heavy

Continuing on with my concert tshirt week, we have The Polyphonic Spree. One of the best shows of last year. A great show if you’re able to see them! (and, yes, I’m now a professional contortionist which, by the way, if TPS had room on stage to add a contortionist, they would for sure. But [...]

Concert T-shirt: Day 2

When I was in 6th grade, I was a huge (and I mean ridiculously nerdy and over the top) fan of The Monkees. I loved their TV show, I had every tape and album, I knew every song and every lyric. It was my first musical obsession and the television show was my first introduction [...]

Project Runway. Final Wrapup.

Kudos to Leanne for taking home the top prize. I think she was the most deserving and, overall, had the most cohesive runway show. Although I kind of wanted Korto to win based on her new-ish loveable personality (I love a lady who is bitchy with a dash of tug-at-your-heart-strings crybaby).
But, what would a final [...]

Craftuesday: One wristlet down.

Hey all. Super happy to report that I finished one of my wristlets. I only dropped one stitch and I think I figured out how to “stitch” the whole mo-fo together (it seems right, anyway). It’s a little snug but, otherwise, a decent fit. And warm.

Sometimes a pony gets depressed.

After a slight break in blogging, I’m refreshed and back in business.
On Saturday, we went to see the Silver Jews at Birdy’s (the first show of our upcoming show-heavy fall). Their opening band was someone called The Mattoid, at first questionable but eventually hilarious and pure genius. It was the best show I’d seen in [...]

My Mary Kay Makeover.

Thanks to my friend, Maggie, I’ve spent the last 30 minutes playing around with the Mary Kay Virtual Makeover.

I went with this “party in the front” homage to the Sarah Palin up-do. And, tried to do an “evening” look with my makeup. I think I look hot! Although, I would have loved a darker lip [...]
