A long, long time ago I used to make these lists. Shocking,right? I love lists. Just love em. Anyway, I made these lists of 101 things. My favorite was the 101 things to do when you’re bored. I wish I knew where that list was. I suppose it’s out there in the interweb ether somewhere. [...]

Big News – I have finally finished unpacking. My closet is finished. And it’s stunning. I cannot wait to share the pictures with you. The rest of my room is very, very close to being done. I still need to organize my desk and hang my pictures. After that my haven will be complete. I wish [...]

Tardy, I know. Mostly everyone I spoke with was baffled that I wasn’t doing a PR liveblog. Let me tell you, it’s not worth it. What we had in this episode was the standard first episode of Project Runway. We met designers, they all cracked under the pressure of actually being on the show, some [...]

Everywhere I go people keep asking me if I’ve unpacked yet (probably because I take every opportunity to whine about how much I have to do). Well, I’m still not done. But I have made serious progress! These pictures were taken 2 weeks ago, after I’d been home 2 weeks. The room doesn’t look like [...]

About a week ago I made these and haven’t had the chance to post until now since I hadn’t loaded the pictures yet. So here they are. The idea was simple. I needed an orange cupcake for the “Orange Crush” softball team end-of-season party. I wanted something awesome and creative, but most importantly, delicious. So [...]

Today, I cannot shake the tired. My whole body is conspiring against me and this to-do list. So I’m procrastinating by updating my blog. Good. I have all of these unwritten posts for you and I keep taking pictures for more posts but I never get the camera and the computer to speak so I [...]

Another reason my posts are so few is because I keep waiting to load pictures onto my computer. I remember the days when including pictures in my posts wasn’t a necessity. Now I feel like if there are no pictures no one will read – which is just not true. Yesterday I finally got my [...]
