I’ve been kind of blah lately. My house is messier than I want it to be, which makes me unhappy. But then I feel too disheartened about it to clean it up. And when I let it get bad, I feel guilty, and when I feel guilty, I feel blah. And I don’t feel like leaving […]

Fashion victim
Ok, who wants to help me be a little less winter-fashion-inept? I am reasonably comfortable dressing myself in the warmer months, or pulling together an outfit around a pair of jeans, but in the winter, anything not jeans-based throws me for a loop. I always end up feeling like I’ve chosen the wrong footwear and […]

Somebody had a birthday around here this week. It wasn’t my birthday, but I got the urge to cut my hair in celebration anyway. Six inches, gone. I also got the urge to treat the birthday boy to a night out. I dropped the kids off at my in-laws’ house, booked us a nice hotel […]

I feel a little unwell at the moment, and am shutting down my computer for the night. Why do you need to know this? Maybe you don’t. But maybe you are waiting for me to process your Polka Dot Creations order. Or maybe you’ve emailed me a question that I have not yet responded to. […]

…it pours. Finally getting over my sore neck issues, and now I have my son’s cold (but with a twist – I was lucky enough to get a fever and a headache, too). Throw in a little PMS just for kicks, and well, it’s been a fun few days over here. Yesterday I was good […]
Read More: When it rains…Spring Fever
Quite literally. I spent Monday feeling worse and worse, Monday night being sick, Tuesday being feverish, nauseous, and headachey, and today I seem to be left mostly with the headache and a little dizziness. I’m not ready for “real food” quite yet, so until then it’s Saltines for breakfast. Oh! There is so much to […]

Over the course of this past autumn, I swore off shampoo, deodorant, and moisturizer. I know. Either you’ve done this before yourself and are thinking “good for you” or you’ve never done it and are thinking I’m crazy (not to mention stinky). Well, maybe I am a little bit crazy, but I smell just […]

Hair angst. I have been suffering from the affliction for the last few months. Do I cut it? Do I let it grow? Do I really have nothing more important to talk about? Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, the length of my hair is about as unimportant as it gets. And despite the […]

Back in college, I thought it would be fun to dye my hair purple. And for the last six years, I’ve been entertaining thoughts of cherry red chunks of color – one on each side of my part. Both fun and artsy ideas, that I have never had the guts to try. So, here I […]

I should have known this would happen. It’s practically a given. If I’m going to spend a week being under the weather and stuck in the house, then as soon as I feel well, I am going to take myself to the nearest shopping center and do a little damage to my wallet. The more […]
