Oh Gap commercials, I love you. Fueling my obsession with the Gap holiday sweater, I wandered over to the Gap‘s online store to see this winters lineup and ran into their holiday marketing campaign. Rainn Wilson singing baby it’s cold outside and John Heder dancing like my brother Josh? I’m sold. To get into the [...]

The rules for Picture Meme: * Go to your sixth Picture Folder then pick your sixth picture. * Hope that you remember the details and write a post about your tag/photo. Girl pals Laura and Stephani both had this posted on their blog and I wanted to do it too, but thought, “what the heck [...]

The dozen radical ties purchased for a quarter each (and the foam letters for cheapy cheap too!) today on the Pensacola Tour de Thrift. The Saturday afternoon bicycle trip that ended up being a tour of the closest thrift shops, a reason to use Garth’s camelback, and a contest to see who could squeeze the [...]

My parents bought me a RAD bicycle for my 27th birthday. Garth is thinking about getting one too so we can ride together (awww…) and so he can ride to and from work powered by his own two feet. Bikes that will someday (*giggle*) be parked in the garage with our current bikes: One Paul [...]

My web hosting company, globat, was down almost the entire day yesterday, and it looks like it’s intermitant today. I’m up for renewal in April and was already considering switching to another host (someone who doesn’t charge my credit card automatically if I don’t opt-out of their e-mail upgrades) but it’s sort of scary! I [...]

Yesterday I decided that I would finally get around to doing something with this blog…it is still the default theme. I have no widgets or interesting things. I have no links to my friends pages or the amazing craft blogs that I follow. So I thought that I would be sneaky and install and create [...]

I’m not really into politics. I appreciate that people run the country and create, enforce, uphold, argue about, and record the law (as it currently stands), but I have never really involved myself farther than informing myself about the issues/canidates, and getting out to vote (plus I REALLY like wearing the “I voted” sticker all [...]

I’m in mourning. I’m protesting. I’m crying in my spare time. My Canon 30D was stolen from my desk on Friday. I am still in shock. That camera represents more than a $1500 investment. It was also my artmaking tool, the way that I recorded and celebrated my life, my communication device with others, and [...]

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince last week. For the two of you in the whole world who don’t know, that’s the 6th book of the 7 book series by J.K Rowling. I started reading the series in January when I was substitute teaching. I resisted reading them for so long simply [...]

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I’ve been reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and after I had finished a few chapters I perused the last 100 pages, reading a phrase here, a paragraph there. I often do this to enjoy a little more suspense without committing myself to another chapter. [...]
