    To Cap It Off

    When the weather gets colder, it’s time for hats!  Looking good in hats is a special talent of mine (don’t scoff – it takes a lot of work to pull off a good hat!) and on top of that (heh, hat pun?) hats serve the secondary purpose of disguising the fact that you’ve been too…

    FEELING:  I’m going to let my feet answer this one: THEY HURT!  Work has been keeping me hopping from one job to the next and I’m soaking my feet and taping the band-aids on but it feels like I’m stepping on shards of glass everywhere I go! WATCHING:  absolutely nothing at the moment!  As I…

    According to Instagram…

    The sweet-and-beautiful-online-and-in-real-life Eeka at Live.Love.Random recently did a post called “According to Instagram” about the telling nature of her Instagram feed.  And I vowed to steal that idea.  Fair warning, I left a comment!  And it turns out, my Instagram feed pretty much paints an accurate picture of who I am: ACCORDING TO INSTAGRAM:  …

    Currently…in March 2014

    FEELING: Completely DONE with winter!  The weather has been gross for what seems like an eternity.  Remember summer?  Remember not squishing yourself into layers upon layers of clothing and still freezing?  SO.  DONE.  WATCHING: Is anyone else out there TOTALLY ADDICTED to House of Cards?  It’s so slow-moving and subtle but really compelling.  If you…

    Doctor Who / Tom Baker Scarf !!!

    Yes, remember a few weeks ago when I started earnestly tackling the most daunting nerd project of all – the infamous Tom Baker scarf?  Ten feet long, it is now FINISHED!  Proving that you never know what you can accomplish until you start!

    Speaking of Saturday…

    I haven’t been blogging every day and I miss it!  My computer charge cord was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but thanks to the gross incompetence of the UPS, I have to pay a convenience fee (HA!) and wait an additional week for delivery.  I have no idea how anyone gets packages with UPS.  Unless…
