Idea Girl (Shiny!)
In the last 5-10 years I find that I’ve become – what I like to call – and idea girl. Every day ideas pop into my head: crafts, web sites, home decor projects, book plots..things I want to make, write and do. Sometimes, if it’s something easy, I’ll pursue the ideas. Other times, if it’s not so easy, and also not that awesome, they’ll just fizzle out in my mind. And other times they’re not easy, but still very awesome, and I spend... Read More
A New Definition Of Wonderful
Wes carried that piece of paper around with him all day yesterday. It was the weirdest thing.

I wonder if this incorrect perception is partly... Read More

I know every time I see Pioneer Woman’s picture of her kitchen I want to punch myself in the face. I documented once how messy my kitchen looked after a set of food-related projects, but I thought I’d show you what... Read More
My Own Worst Enemy. (Maybe Second To The Damn Cold Mornings.)
The comments on the last entry made me feel much better. NONE of you said more often than once-a-week. YAY! Most were in the every 2-3 week zone but some of you were like me in that you aim for every 2-3 weeks but it often gets pushed back to once-a-month because it always seems like there’s more important laundry waiting to be done. In case you’re wondering? I washed my sheets yesterday. Now…let’s talk about this boot camp. I signed up for it 2 months... Read More
