This week in reveiew: I made headbands! For about the same cost of buying a single one in a store, so I was thrifty AND crafty. I’m not normally the craft type (though I do admire those who are), so yes, I’m a little proud of myself. Maybe I’ll move onto hair clips, but I [...]

While I’m stuck inside, I might as well admire the beauty. I was supposed to go to work yesterday but that wasn’t going to happen. I live on a hill, and my street was (and still mostly is) buried. I watched four-wheel-drive vehicles get stuck. Oh yes, and there was a state of emergency declared, [...]

See those indents in the snow? I made them an hour and a half after this was taken. You can’t even tell I walked through it now. This insanity has accumulated in only nine hours. I keep hearing we have everything from four inches to six to eight to a foot, so I’m going to [...]

I went to a Salvation Army last week for Mining Monday, but it was very gross (even by Salvation Army standards) and I didn’t seen anything worth noting, so I’m not going to degrade the integrity of Mining Monday by posting the few pictures I took just to post them. Yes, believe it or not, [...]

Confession: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I keep forgetting it’s only days away. My mom put me on green bean casserole duty and when I mentioned making it to her over the phone yesterday, I said “next week.” She was pretty quick to correct me that it is this week, and I tried to [...]

One of the great things of being a obituary writer* is the reaction from other people when you tell them of your occupation. I love it, honestly, because it’s such a fantastic way to gauge people. Some make fake sad faces and tell me how they couldn’t do it because they’d be depressed all the [...]

I was chopping up vegetables last week for chili when I was struck by the way I was slicing the peppers. Without even consciously thinking about, I was cutting them the same way I used to when I worked in my college cafeteria and needed to refill the salad bar. It was as if no [...]

I’ll admit it: I’m an erratic blogger.  I’ll blog consistently for days, sometimes a few times a day, and then without warning, I turn hermit, not even commenting on other people.  Dangerous to the hearts of the readers who consistently click, click, click to read about the non-thrilling dorkfest I call my life, only to [...]

The first two days went really well.  The department I’m working in has only a few people, but they’re all nice and laid back.  Its just been a lot of information to absorb.  To answer the popular lunch question, everybody eats at their desk, which solves that problem.  At my last job, we weren’t allowed, [...]

The first day of my new job starts in two hours.  I’m more excited than nervous, but wait until I’m walking into the building and we’ll see who has new job jitters. I kinda wish I could do two things at once, and by this I mean eat lunch and shower.  Soggy sandwiches are pretty [...]
