two years and a big, big announcement

2 / 12 / 2011

***UPDATE*** Dear Everyone visiting from the amazing Studio Bold : it’s only a short, temporary break (I feel like I’m in an episode of Friends. “We were on a break!”)! So, please, enjoy all of my misadventures below, subscribe if you love it and stay tuned!! I missed my booshy-versary again (missed it last year, [...]

the (old) neighborhood hates us. a reminder.

1 / 14 / 2011

This is a re-post…mostly to remind myself that we live in THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF AWESOME instead of THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF HELL. What happens in THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF AWESOME? Real, live neighbors (!!!) stop over and bring you pumpkin bread that’s NOT LACED WITH POISON and stop to introduce themselves while you’re shoveling snow all, “Hi! We’re Sam [...]

applesauce! or: my first real recipe that i’m not ashamed to share!

1 / 09 / 2011

As Tim is preforming magic in the kitchen, whipping up blueberry pancake deliciousness, here is my first – and potentially last – recipe post.  I say last because, just in case you don’t remember, if you’re ever selected to be in some kind of cooking competition (or bowling for that matter), do not pick me. [...]

my punching bag. edited to read: i am my own punching bag.

7 / 12 / 2010

(first, before you go any farther, please send me distracting, crazy things. I’m about to have surgery. In a few hours. And all of the jazzy details you probably don’t really want to know about THAT is here). I have no idea if I’m supposed to like, share things from therapy…but what the hell? I’m [...]

running and gardens. two things that are most certainly not related.

5 / 23 / 2010

It’s gotten to the point where I have no idea what to write. The sad part is that there’s so much…so many things *going on* that I could probably write a mini-novel for the month of May (I think a mini-novel is called a novella…but novella sounds…well, not substantial or important or…bookish. So I refuse [...]

wordless wednesday?

5 / 05 / 2010

I’ve never DONE a Wordless Wednesday before. So…I’m probably already breaking the rules because I’m talking. Which? Not entirely surprising. I’m really bad with boundaries. REALLY. BAD. I just found out last Friday that local police officers near my current place of employment are going to start giving tickets to jaywalkers…because half the students who [...]

someone, please diagnose me.

4 / 29 / 2010

Ok y’all. I keep having the SAME recurring dream (redundant, I know). It’s not that I’m naked or having sex with a platypus (what? That’s not…never mind) or falling down some giant chasm. No. Instead, I dream that in some fashion, my teeth start crumbling and fall out and I’m left with a mouth FULL [...]

i have a *slight* obsession. with wind thingys.

4 / 28 / 2010

I have waited YEARS people. YEARS…to get one of these pictures. Y-E-A-R-S Y to the E to the ARS. (I cannot stress that enough. Can you tell?) I almost peed myself when I realized I would FINALLY get a photo to call my own. Peed myself as in: this is how the conversation went for [...]

sex beats indirect cremation.

4 / 23 / 2010

(This conversation happened only because we have super strange, obviously inappropriate billboards.  Or, we just take them at face value.  Either way, the result is this) Tim: Ummm…how do you indirectly cremate someone? Me: Huh? Tim: You didn’t see that billboard?  It said, “Direct Cremation! $95!” Me: Wha?…. Tim: So, if they do DIRECT cremation, [...]

setting it straight

3 / 26 / 2010

I’ve been thinking lately. Weird, I know. It’s what happens when I have entirely too much time on my hands. That or I’m stuck at a laundromat waiting for my clothes to finish washing in a freakishly massive machine that is probably considering lots of devilish activities. Anyway, you decide. But the whole point is, [...]
