Yesterday, I could not stop sneezing for anything. My nose was awfully runny, too, but it basically felt like an allergy thing. I took some benadryl on top of my normal Allegra, but it didn’t really help - I just got sleepy and really dippy. I didn’t feel that bad, though, so I didn’t think [...]

I’ve been toting around a gift certificate to my favorite lingerie shop, Birdie’s since Christmastime. I’m really bad about gift certificates, because I’m definitely a fair-weather shopper, so certificates I receive in December probably won’t be redeemed until at least March. As the latter part of this week and the whole of the weekend are [...]

I had no big hairy plans today, honestly. Maybe go for a bike ride and take some pictures, weather permitting, probably sit around in front of the fireplace reading and occasionally shoving a cat’s butt off my book. I didn’t expect to actually get anything accomplished.
It all started out with me waking up [...]

I never did track anyone down to re-cover that banana seat for me, but I investigated the seat pretty thorougly and came to the conclusion that it’s probably not that terribly difficult to re-cover, so I sourced the glittery vinyl and am planning to have a go at it this coming week.

I know it’s a bit hypocritical of me to follow up a rant about how much fashion sucks with a shopping post, but the fact of the matter is, a few weeks ago, I placed an order at mytights.com (I recommend them highly) for a couple of pair of merino tights. I’d been shopping around, [...]

I have finally found the perfect pair of girl-shoes. Yeah, they aren’t especially cute or sexy, but they FIT and they look nice with a pretty broad range of my clothes. I think I am going to spring for the black pair, too. Seriously…this is the first 8W I have ever found [...]

Is not usually a rationalization for buying a bottle of perfume. The pull of nostalgia took me over today when I was at the drugstore picking up a prescription. My sis and I had been talking about Jovan Musk a while back, a perfume which was our Aunt Debbie’s signature scent for many [...]

So, my trench coat I was wearing for my windbreak layer has pretty much started completely disintegrating, so I knew I needed to get some new outer wear before the weather gets any worse. I also didn’t have a lot of budget for clothes, especially considering how expensive athletic stuff is.
Columbia winter coat $11

I participated in my first race ever today, the Cliff Drive circuit race. 11 miles (four loops through Cliff Drive/Gladstone Blvd). It was…interesting. I went out in the Women’s Beginners class. There were 9 of us. We started a minute after the Men’s Beginner class (there were about 40 of them) and a minute before [...]

Thrifting simply didn’t happen today. This morning between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. I proved my utter inability to find North Oak Trfwy. with both hands and a roadmap. Yes, folks, I drove around buttfuck N. Kansas City for TWO stinking hours, looking for what is probably the largest and most significant commercial street [...]
