Not the most enticing photo of food, but trust me; it was delicious. Sunday was a day of rest work. Does that make sense? I pretty much sat at my desk all day and caught up on things. Started working on sales tax (not late until the 20th, so I still have a few days [...]
In no particular order, here are some of the many things I am thankful for. My family of origin, both here and not here any more, for all the things they taught me both overtly and unconsciously. I am who I am because of you. My family of choice, for the patient and hardworking do-right man [...]
Long post ahead! Grab a drink! One thing that I DO NOT MISS about having a Real Job is yearly evaluations/performance reviews. Ugh. (OK, technically those are two things, and I should have used “are” rather than “is.”) Doing everything myself means – at least to me – that on some level I am constantly [...]
You know, if it’s one thing that I miss about Hanks, it’s that sometimes I get an idea, and that idea needs to be fleshed out by talking about it — I reach a point with ideas where stewing in my own brain pan ceases to cook and just… sets. Sharon was awesome for bouncing [...]
One thing I forgot to mention in my post about how busy August was, is that we closed Hanks. I know that seems like a big thing to forget to mention, but really… all I did was get emails from Sharon occasionally asking how much I wanted to mark stuff down to. All the stock [...]
I had a whole post planned about how I wasn’t going to write a traditional 9/11 post like everyone and their brother seems to be doing (mostly because look… I saw it once, I don’t want to see photos of it again), but I veered off into all sorts of things and eventually wasn’t even [...]

Soooooooooooooooooo. I just realized I need to go pour me a fresh cup of coffee before beginning to type this all up. BRB! OK. Still with me? I hate June. It’s hot as fuck outside and shit always seems to happen that’s just flat nuts. One day in June, when I was 15, my Stepmonster [...]

Etsy does these little interviews, and I am alternately fascinated by and rolling my eyes at them. Sometimes they genuinely contain words of wisdom and inspiration; but most often (and I hope I don’t get kicked off Etsy for saying this) they read as if the artist thinks they breathe out unicorn farts and poop rainbows. [...]

I’ve been kind of moody the last week or so, and I’ve narrowed it down to my poor yarn store. At first I thought it was because the three of us talked about finances the other night, and in addition to finances never making me happy, things are just glacial right now and Evaluations Need [...]
