I’ve been investing some R&R into this blog, if you’ve noticed the shiny new domain. For those of you with iPads, you’ll be pleasantly greeted with this image when you save my blog onto your home screen as a button. Behold: Pretty Huh? I’m almost done with my origami crane curtain. Here’s a little something…

Reasons why I don’t go to the dentist and other scare tactics
When I was six I used to go to the dentist. Pretty regularly. But things were different then. Then, I used to get a hot pink toothbrush and bring it home with a tiny tube of cotton candy flavored toothpaste that fit expertly in my hands. Sometimes I got stickers too, it was a good…
Death and Glory. And deadlines.
When I was 15, my friend Jessica and I decided we would make lists of things we’d like to do before we died. I really wish I had taken better care of that because I think I’ve done about half the list already! It’s actually on my livejournal, I just haven’t written in that in…
Ladies, Gentlemen, Please!
I see an 86 year old woman every other day. I’m her companion, so that means I get in, sit down, ask about her day, and then we try to have an organic, stimulating conversation for two hours. It’s great, really. And the nice thing is that we can sit and talk about fabrics, patterns,…
Perpetuating Stereotypes and Silver Minivans
I just saw four silver minivans in a row on the highway. Literally four consecutive minivans. Same minivan. Toyota. Four. I wonder if they’re a club. I actually hope they are a club. That would make sense to me. Four guys who don’t quite fit in, they all buy silver minivans they don’t need as…
It’s Mardi. Gras. or CARNAVAL. AKA. Free Pass to Heathensville!!!! !!!
I can’t imagine Halloween in the Spring. It’s so much about the crisp cool breeze and falling leaves. And pumpkins. And things that smell good: apples, cinnamon, squash, also pumpkins, you know, nutmeg. It’s about getting out there, reaching out for the last possible enjoyment of nature and the subtle earthly pleasures before it all…
SNAIL MAIL
HAH. Such a good expression. Actually, it’ll be especially slow since I’m sending these out TODAY and tomorrow is Friday, they probably won’t be there tomorrow. Then its CHRISTMAS WEEKEND. Then Monday. But who cares about Christmas cards after Christmas. I don’t care if people don’t care. I’m sending them out anyway. Also, more people…
Yankee Punch Swap
My former boss who still works in the office, so, my co-worker, made a big fuss about us having a Yankee Swap because he thought it would instil animosity within the workplace. Feelings hurt, bruises, negative energy, etc.. Which is silly because we aren’t fourth graders. He also strangely suggested that if we went with…
Moving
Is the worst. I have so many questions. 1. Can I paint wood panels? 2. How am I supposed to hang a chandelier if there is no overhead light? 3. Where can I get a decent coat hanger? The kind that holds umbrellas too. Mine is currently being held hostage. Just those for starters.
Haven
The coolest thing I can think of is being in a band and playing, in unison, with others…regularly. I especially like seeing how people that are part of a band look at each other. Sometimes it’s annoying and self important which… is still fine because if you’re going to be self important about anything, it…
