Taking a page from Pip's book and using this list to do a life snapshot. Making : a few more prints for this weekend's craft show. Cooking : nothing at the moment. Will probably have leftovers for lunch (spaghetti). Drinking : water. Reading: The Furies by Mark...

1. Currently sitting in my office while the A/C guys put in a whole new air conditioning system. Yeah. It crapped out Wednesday, only blowing warm air. Not the ideal situation when it's 90 degrees outside every day. We have (had) an old system to begin with, and any...

1. This past weekend the boy and I went to see a show called TITtalks. It was in the format of TED Talks, except all of the 'experts' were improv comedians and they had no idea before stepping on stage what topic & visual aids they would be assigned and have to do a...
I came across Erika's post about a reverse bucket list through one of those internet rabbitholes you can't really trace the path of afterwards. And the idea really struck me. You guys know I'm a fan of making goals lists. But I think it's important to look back every...
