In this house the fella mainly just grunts when I discuss my seed wants. Unless he thinks I’m referring to a different kind of “seed”. In which case he grunts and then smiles. There’s something about picking out seeds that makes me all swoony. And the seeds you can get through actual [...]
It took all the restraint I had to NOT buy more than 3 Ikea sheepskins when I was redoing my house a few years ago. I didn’t even know what I was going to use them for, I just knew I had to have them. I thought about a Meandering Goat costume but couldn’t find [...]
Today I’m going to give you a lesson on being open to taking things in a different direction when you have to. ’Cause I’m all about giving life lessons and making the world a happier place with rainbows and kittens and skin tags that magically disappear with the wink of an eye. I went to [...]
This is one of those things I thought everyone knew. Turns out … everyone doesn’t. So if you *do* know this little tip, please ignore it and play quietly until the post is over. Wanna crop a picture you have on your iPhone and save it but you don’t know how? This one’s for YOU. [...]
I want you all to be quiet for a second. Good. Now … I want you to imagine Weird Al Yankovich singing Eat It! Are you seeing it? Are you hearing it? You’re welcome. That oughtta be with you for the next few hours. And yes. Lot’s of leftovers this week. Why [...]
You know what’s wrong with the Oscars? There isn’t nearly enough drinking. What makes a truly great awards show is drunkenness. Knowing that at any given moment someone could get up on stage and say something completely obnoxious and stupid. Without drinking all we have is Sean Penn. Every year I try to watch as [...]
I’ve developed a bit of a reputation for doing things on the cheap. Saving money. Being fiercely frugal. But the truth is, I’m not. Well … I am good with money and like to do things myself when I can, but I don’t go through life surrounding by only cheap stuff. That would be gross. [...]
I have cats. Therefore, by method of deduction you know I also have shredded furniture and a special corner in the living room dedicated to swearing and weeping. R.I.P. white, French Provincial Bergere chairs. You will be missed. I’ve owned many cats and never declawed any of them. I’ve come close, but I just can’t [...]
One of the benefits of having a blog is being introduced to a bunch of stuff you’d never hear about otherwise. Like quantum physics. I love to use this blog as a platform for open discussions about the evolution of mathematical and scientific data. And mason jars. I also love to talk about mason jars. [...]
Yeah, I know! They’re pretty spectacular in a Dame Edna kind of way. These … are Rainbow Pancakes. I was Googling around the Internet last week trying to figure out something fun to do with pancakes for Shrove/Pancake/Fat Tuesday. This is not at ALL what I was looking for and literally stumbled upon [...]
I know I’m only a tiny wisp of a thing but that doesn’t mean I don’t own fat pants. I have em. And right now … they fit me. Knowing this, I developed this week’s menu around the fat pant facts. When the fat pants become the regular pants, it’s time to cut some carbs. [...]
I let you know all kinds of stuff about me here on my blog. You know that I redid my whole house a few years ago, you know I have chickens, you even know when I have a yeast or bladder infection and what I do about it. You know I’ve made my living as [...]
