joie de vivre
Glad we made it to Friday and that tomorrow my time will be my own. I planted two mini magnolia bushes (shrubs?) the other night. YES, night. Tuesday night I was feverishly digging in the dirt and the dark, planting shrubberies, little purple flowers that I don’t know the name of and blindly spreading mulch […]
art therapy
I uploaded a black and white selfie to Dreamscope and look what I got! Jenny Lawson posted about this app so I tried it out and it was a pretty okay time. If you have extra time to play around with your pics this weekend, go for it. It took a while for each image […]
tidings of joy
When I walked outside Sunday there was a piece of paper on my stoop. I figured it was a church thing or an advert for the new local Pizza/Chinese place. It was rolled up so it could have been anything, really. Once I unfurled the piece of paper and got a look at it I […]
be back soon
This morning I opened my eyes and realized that I was having trouble reading my phone… not reading, really, just trying to get it switched over to snooze. Bits of wiggly light obscuring the vision in my left eye let me know that I was in for a migraine. It’s called Aura… and it lasts […]

IT. WAS. A. COMPLETE. DISASTER. I started over with regular flour (because failure is not an option and I was making BREAD, damnit!). […]
hey there, pumpkin
I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables How adorable is this teeny tiny pumpkin? It’s my most favorite pumpkin ever. I might paint or glitter it or something, not sure yet. It was a beautiful day yesterday and this morning I was wide […]
lazy season lament
June and July at the day job are very slow months. The attitudes are also a bit more relaxed because we know the uptick in work won’t start until August. So, we goof around a little more, linger a little longer at the group birthday parties (cake!), talk about our weekend plans and wonder Why […]
partly cloudy
Almost the (long) weekend now, my thoughts are beginning to get clearer and I am in the mood for some serious cuddle time… with my dog… and a cup of something like tea or cocoa and maybe even a scary-oops-I’m-squeezing-the-dog-too-hard-sorry-about-that-puppy movie marathon. Mac LOVES it when I’m in that mood, of course. Misha (the cat) […]
