On Fandom and Yogurt

So how’s about I introduce a new blog layout and then drop off the face of the blogosphere? My fellow royals are nothing if not amazingly supportive and awesome. For example, my friend John, who not only granted me permission to cite his real name on my blog – how’s that for confidence? – but [...]

Good Things…on a toilet?

Yep. This week’s good things post is taking place on my toilet. I entered that layout contest and lost and wanted to hate the girl that won instead of me. But I have a hard time hating people. I have an even harder time hating them when they make me laugh until I cry . [...]

I reserve the right to refuse answering anything about: money or anything that I should have a discussion with my future husband about before [...]

Liz Started It…

On Self-Imposed Allergies

Which, allegedly, is not a cleansing shampoo and I have to use it in addition to my normal shampoo. What? No. Just no. But this morning I saw this post by [...]

Good Things in the Snow

To begin, the promised picture of the Emperor Emeritus as a tiny child: I know that a picture of a picture does not produce a good picture, but I loathe the scanner and couldn’t bring myself to use it. I have to do it eventually but…not yet. I don’t know what my favorite thing about [...]

Sweet Swappity Swap

A short while ago I signed up for a valentine swap. Then we had buckets and buckets of snow, ate fondue, made blizzard cakes, posted videos of our laundry room, and all manner of other things that led to the collapse of the Postal Service. I was without mail for a whole week which makes [...]

The Blizzard Cake, or Trading Places

“On Day 5, all hell broke loose” – Lady Shutterbug So we have all been basically snowed in since Friday afternoon here in Northern VA. I escaped for a few hours on Tuesday to see Dear John – cried my eyes out, came home, looked at my paper chain and debated crawling under my bed [...]

Hey Amanda – Part Two

Ooops, there’s no video for this post. Try not to be disappointed. There were mixed reviews on the video aspect of me and I’m sensitive – you know this about me – so…no video this time. I do have, however, pictures for you. The cookies were delivered to the post office this morning in the [...]

How I Spent my Snow Days

So unless you’ve been under a rock the past few days, you know that my part of the country was hit with a substantial amount of snow this weekend. I was one of the lucky ones who only got 24 inches in her yard. Others got more. Needless to say I haven’t left the house [...]
