This weekend saw me at a retreat of sorts. My mom turns 50 tomorrow (Monday) and so this weekend we had a girls weekend at a ranch of a friend of hers. Sciarrino came with me in case the older ladies got too crazy and I needed a knitting buddy :). The weather was much …

(New) Space and Enemas
Okay now I remember why I love Free Association, you guys are funny! I’m picking Lauren as my favorite for last week. Her comment was just "sandwich… haha" For some reason that just cracked me up. Love the randomness. So Lauren you’re in charge of picking the word for next week! I’ll email you and …
Free Association Wednesday

Back in the thrifting groove
On Saturday Sciarrino and I got out our garage sale purses, baskets, and treats to keep us going through the morning and grabbed the local paper. We headed out into the big bad world of estate, garage, and yard sales. In case you haven’t heard this is the coldest spring in the last thirty years, …

Before you get all mad that I’m just telling you about it now, I keep seeing them there, for five bucks (regularly $22.95)! I own the book that these come from, …
Behind door number one…
The room really is too tiny to be a master bedroom, but we make it work. The bookshelf (where I keep most of my folded clothes and things) is out in the bedroom instead of the closet because you can’t get to the attic with it in front of the ladder. So ignore it please. …
Back from the brink of extinction
Does anyone remember these? Minidiscs baby!!! I was so into my minidisc player. I got this kick ass stereo for my high school graduation (gasp) nine years ago from my grandparents. Ohhh also back from the brink, the attic!!! Did you remember I have an attic? I made up this drawing yesterday after walking around …
Weekend project: the garage
I meant to get this out earlier, how did Thursday get here so fast?!?! I just went through the This isn’t even really the before I started pulling things on to the back deck before I realized I should take a before. The whole problem with this thing is the organization "style" of the previous …
From an old geezer to weezer
Dudes today I took grandpa to the back and spine doctor. We’ve been to this doctor before and grandpa loves the guy (you know as much as he is able due to his um, lack of trust with the medical profession). The doctor, Dr. Heros (I know! And he really is) was in the Army …
