101 Rules for Life

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.  [...]

The Final Stretch

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 [...]

Project Runway Season 867

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.

Are You Finished Unpacking Yet?

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 [...]

Tequila Sunrise Cupcakes

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 [...]

It Could Be Worse

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 [...]

Motivation.

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 [...]
