Linking up with Lena for the Tuesday 10. This week's theme: If I won the lottery, the first 10 things I'd buy or do are: 1. Pay off all of my debt (credit cards, car loan, medical bills). 2. Give a big chunk of it to my mom. 4. Stick some in savings (some in...
Right now, I am... trying to get rid of the hiccups I got from the root beer I drank with lunch. plotting ways to spend my evenings, since Ian is working late shift this week. getting ready to go to the post office to mail out a clothing swap and a custom print....
1. I don't really get the deal with holiday decorations. A Christmas tree, ok, yes, I subscribe to that tradition and like it. Maybe even some lights outside if I'm feeling really motivated. But covering the entire house and trees and roof? Big, inflatable,...
Another recipe that doesn't really yield pretty pictures, but I promise it's yummy. Like most 20-somethings I know, one of the items that can generally be found in our pantry is Ramen noodles. Usually beef flavor, occasionally chicken. And while I enjoy a good...
So. End of October. Halloween! I don't have a regular What I Wore post for today, and I'm not dressing up for anything this year. As an adult no longer in college, a self-employed person, and as someone who doesn't really like bar-hopping, there aren't a whole lot of...
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky This was the latest pick for the Blogger Book Club, and I was happy with the choice as I'd been meaning to read it anyway. And I'm going to go counter to most of the blogger gals I chatted with about it and say that I...
I know, I usually do these on Tuesday. But tomorrow is the Blogger Book Club link up, and I'm not a two-posts-in-one-day kind of girl. And I have a bit of a backlog of things I want to share with you guys, as it's been 3 weeks since my last treasure trove post. So,...
1. I had grand plans to be super productive in the internet world today (work and blog and shop stuff), and then I had my annual eye doctor appointment. I wear contacts, in case you didn't know. And today's exam included a pupil dilation, which takes a few hours to...
My birthday yesterday was a pretty awesome day. It started out like this: with the puppy keeping me company while Ian cooked me some breakfast in bed. Then we headed out to a local vineyard for a wine tasting. Neither Ian or I had been to a vineyard or done a...
Today is my birthday! I'm actually writing this the night before, because tomorrow I'll be hanging out with Ian at a vineyard and an Italian restaurant and who knows what other shenanigans. I was looking around for a good my-birthday-this-many-years-ago photo to...
