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 [...]
And if you don’t get that, you need to go watch this. I hesitate to write, sometimes, that I have frustrating days. After all – or so I’ve been told by someone – all I do is “sit around and craft all day, so how hard can THAT be?” And a few times over on [...]

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.

Remember the saga of the homeowners insurance? JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE. We got another letter, I think the week before last (my amazing powers to block this whole problem out of my mind are amazing). We need to clean off the roof, fix an improper something or other with the bonus water [...]
(Apologies, there, about the paraphrase…) It’s that time of year when people are making grand sweeping statements about how THIS IS THE YEAR THAT EVERYTHING CHANGES! They’re going to exercise every day for two hours! They’re going to learn a new hobby they’ve never before made time for! They’re going to eat better and cook [...]
This under/self-employment feels a bit like summer vacation. I think that’s because I used to go to G-ma’s house every summer, and we would spend a lot of time sitting on the back porch, chatting, working on ceramics, and keeping one eye on the fishing poles. I wanted to put a photo up, but in [...]
I keep waking up with a song lyric in my head – “where do we go from here, now that all of the —” but I don’t remember what THE is. Now that all of the somethings are something else? Now that all of the children are….? Now that all of the yarn balls have [...]
