So I’m pretty sure what we’ve all been socked with is the flu. Crossing my fingers all will be normal by Monday… We had a 65-degree day today, which is always welcome when the winter has been as bitterly cold as this winter has, but it’s even more exciting when you’ve spent the previous several […]

Dipping into the gift card stash
It was Tuesday night. Aidan had been coughing and feverish for a day or so, and Eamonn was nestling in to me on the couch in a way that could only say “I’m coming down with it, too.” Truth be told, I was feeling somewhat sluggish myself, and so I did what any sane person […]

Yesterday I cheated and illustrated my post with an image from last Christmas. Today I don’t think I’m even going to bother with a photo. It’s not that I didn’t take any. No, I took my one Project365 photo that I needed to, but it’s still on the camera, and I am on the couch […]

The only things I’ve taken any pictures of for the last four days have been my feet. How sad. It’s been a whirlwind of new books and packing supplies this week so far, and as busy as that’s kept me, it just hasn’t made for very enthralling reading material. Hence my absence. I did manage […]

I think I’m overdue for some RTBC around here, so I’m just going to go for it. 1. Feeling the fog slowly lifting after spending the better part of a week battling a cold (is it me, or do those nasty things linger longer the older you get?). I’m still congested a bit, and more […]

It seems to me, if a girl is going to have to get by on five hours of sleep, and if she also has a scratchy throat and can feel the congestion building in her head by the minute, then she might be tempted to spend as much time as possible sitting in a cozy […]

I stayed up entirely too late last night watching two episodes of What Not to Wear. And more than once during the first, I caught Neil giving me the “you wear that outfit every day” look. Well, ok, maybe so. Maybe I don’t see anything wrong with peasant skirts, flip-flops and t-shirts together. At least […]

Is there such a thing as Skirtmakers Anonymous? It’s not so much that I like wearing skirts (although, I definitely do). It’s more that I like wearing skirts that I made. Have you seen some of the new skirts that Target has this season? I love them! But I’ve been passing them by on the […]

I am not a particularly outdoorsy person, but I have a highly-attuned need to bring the outside in, wherever possible. I like natural lighting and open windows. It makes winter tough on me sometimes, and it’s why I look so forward to the arrival of spring every year. I spent the last five days in […]

As I lounge here on the couch, portable computer on my lap, waiting for the lingering unpleasantries of this illness to pass, I am suddenly in the mood to make myself some cheery pajama pants. I’ll let you in on a gross little secret. My last shower was on Tuesday night. And the gray t-shirt […]
