So about a week or so I ago I talked about this great steak that I’ve figured out how to make and said I’d post the recipe and then, well, whoops.  And I know I’ve talked about the awesome spaghetti sauce I made last weekend. So.  I thought I’d finally post the recipes for them [...]

I’m thinking that I should create a category for this blog called “Coffee Shop Fridays” or something…except that in a few weeks it might switch to Coffee Shop Tuesdays. I’m not sure what Will’s schedule will be like next term (his last term!).  Who knows, maybe I’ll just be coming in to town by myself.  [...]

You know what’s fun?  Wasting two hours in a conversation with someone who ultimately decides not to hire you after all–when you have only a few days left to make the rent and REALLY should be working on other things that actually DO bring in money.
I spent this morning blasting Everclear through the computer speakers [...]

One of the worst things about working from home and, well, rarely leaving the house is that when I get sick?  Both Will and I know EXACTLY where I get it.  Before, when we both worked in retail we could blame any random illness I came down with on customers.  Now when I catch a [...]

First, the good news:  I have my “new” (aka refurbished and new to me) iPhone!  It came in today and I don’t think I’ve ever made it from our house to the Cedar Hills Shopping Center that fast on foot in the whole time we’ve lived here.  I got totally overheated (when am I going [...]

It’s Friday evening and you know what that means: blogging from a coffee shop at PSU!  I am, in fact, sitting not more than twenty feet away from where I sat last week when I revealed to all of you my Big Plan to sort of focus my purposes for this blog.  I had plans.  [...]

So remember how awesome (and caffeinated!) I felt yesterday morning?  Well, my day? Did not end on the same positive tone.
Oh, I got everything done that I wanted to do (and early! Thank you Real Simple for the pants ironing video!) and then…and then….
Then I dropped my super expensive iPhone in the toilet.  And even [...]

Today is, well, “full” is kind of a good word.  There is house cleaning to be done, work-work to be done, blogging to be done, projects to be researched and…ironing Will’s clothes for the fancy engineering business dinner thing that he’s going to tonight (sans me, which I’m kind of okay with because engineering is [...]

So.  After my big “I’m going to be more domestic and blog about it!” announcement, what do you think I did?  Did I go right home and cook a big dinner from scratch for my husband?  Did I thoroughly clean our apartment from top to bottom?  Did I spend my weekend organizing stuff?
Heck no!  We [...]

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it enough here or not, but I have developed quite an affinity for the movie Julie & Julia.  I have eluded to the fact that Julie & Juila has become my “go to” movie when I just want to curl up, veg and feel happy warm fuzzies.   This affection [...]
