I am a total thrift-shop junkie, as has been well documented here. A couple of years ago, I made a major haul at a local youth center’s rummage sale fundraiser. I need to go back and fix the pictures in that entry, but if you want to see my haul from that day, there’s a […]

Today’s weather is kind of disgusting…it’s sort of rain, sort of snow. Nieve likes it; Ruby is not so sure. I went for a walk earlier anyhow, because I was getting kind of grumpy about being inside, and also I needed to go to the library and print out some documents, since at the time […]

My life is so weird. This isn’t a problem, mind you. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I might get bored. I owe my friends James & Dalia big time since they dogsat Ruby the whole time we were gone on our cross country trip. So, among the things I offered to do in […]

Pretty much the title up there says it all. I, um, had a close and personal encounter with an F250 work truck yesterday and racked up two more milestones in my life: first ambulance ride, first broken bone (left collarbone, out toward the end). There’s an intersection in the West Bottoms where this big, horrible, […]

A videoblog session for your pleasure. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cY__kf_N2NE] This video is just a little bit of background about where the jewelry box came from and why I decided to film it today. Please forgive the dreadful video quality. I uploaded it to Flickr as nice as could be, but couldn’t crosspost it from Flickr to here, […]

This morning I made a lovely batch of apple-cinnamon muffins, but I totally forgot to put in the sugar. They taste like cinnamonny bread with bits of apple in it. New house rule: no baking before coffee.

as it says, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. I tore my workroom from stem to stern yesterday looking for these. Of course, they weren’t in the workroom; they were in the bedroom. Moving house, then going away from it for two months really did a number on my brain. I have about a fourth of a […]

Well, our house once again belongs to the 21st century: we have phone and internet service. I’ll be uploading a crapload of photos to Flickr over the next day or so. We got back very late on Friday. On Saturday I retrieved Ruby from James & Dahlia’s house and spent a frustrating, wet, and stinky […]

So…the Big Trip is now at an end. In about half an hour, I’ll be getting on a bus, riding to a different bus stop stop, getting on another bus, getting on a plane, getting off that plane and on to another plane, getting off that plane, and I’ll be back in Kansas City by […]

Wow…we made it! We’ve ridden across about 2/3 of the country in a little better than a month and a half, none of our equipment failed us, we haven’t tired of one another’s company…all’s well. Whoot! So…the traffic thing…Georgia’s drivers (at least Northern GA, where we were travelling) were a significant asspain. Majorly pushy. I […]
