Hello, my name is Amy and I procrastinate.

Yes, I admit it. For so long I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. I was a Virgo, damn it, and I got stuff done. No BS-in’ around. But, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I, Amy McAdams, procrastinate.
Wow. That felt good.
To be honest, I think my interpretation of procrastination and laziness is probably more strict [...]

Inspired by Nadnuk from Wardrobe Remix, I decided to do a little grouping of my haircuts over the past few years. Why? Well, I am a crazy person about my hair. For example, I just cut it all off and now I wish I would have left the bob and dyed it back blonde. Regardless, [...]

Buffy the LipHair Slayer.

Those of you who know me well know that I am obsessed with “As See On TV” products. There’s the ShamWow, the Snuggie, the PediPaw, Bare Minerals, Nads…just to name a few.
My most recent eyebrow raiser: SmoothAway

It’s the hair removal system that is supposedly pain-free and exfoliates as you use it. Wow! Sign me up. [...]

Tag, I’m it?

The lovely Miss Rachel over at Fruit in a Box tagged me to reveal seven random things about myself. I just did a similar thing via facebook that was a random gathering of most of my neurosis and habits. I think I’ll take this opportunity to choose seven random fashion/craft/lifestyle things to stay true to [...]

Learning to KNiiTT…Wii-style.

I bought Matthew/us a Wii for Christmas and we’re in the midst of trying to beef up our sad little game library. Other than the Wii Fit, I have no future gaming purchases that truly excite me. Until now…

Matthew just sent me a link to this. At first I thought it was a total joke [...]

Having the S.A.D. on such a not-sad day.

It’s official. I have the S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder). I’m assuming most Midwesterners do. And, today is such a great day with the whole “out with the Bush and in with the ‘bama” thing. I mean, I watched the speech, it was amazing, I was uplifted for an hour and then it was back to [...]

Martha meets Amy in a cluttered Midwestern Michael’s aisle.

During my month off, I spent a lot of time at Michael’s. I had been working on my self-promo/client thank yous, and had made several trips due to my lack of thorough list making. Due to an extended cell phone conversation during one particular trip (I hate being on the phone while I’m checking. It’s [...]

Support for the sleeping sisters (and maybe a little TMI).

I have constantly battled with that “end-of-day/ taking off your work clothes and getting comfy” time of night. For two reasons: the girls. Being a naturally, well-endowed lady, I have consistently found it hard to find a functional solution to this problem.
Here’s the deal: I don’t want to go commando. It’s not an option. And, [...]

2 degrees, feels like 15.

Last time I checked today, this was the current weather. With winter firmly planted in this midwestern city, I find myself feeling very unfashionable. I seem to be opting for comfort over fit, for extra moisturizer over full-faced makeup and for easy over thoughtful. It’s probably not a coincidence that this has been making me [...]

Click, click, click, click, click camera.

This is my first full week back at work. It’s also the first full week I’ve had my new camera. Both don’t seem to be adding up to me being very productive. I’m a bit rusty and I’m obsessed with my new Canon Rebel:

Like everything else I “get into,” I probably over-bought. I couldn’t help [...]
