In which unemployment continues apace. I got laid off three and a half weeks ago. I have no idea how it’s been three and a half weeks already, but it has. I’ve been catching up on little projects, like throwing shit out and/or taking it to Goodwill and getting all the laundry done and folded […]
In which I post a picture of the dress I made last weekend. It’s made of rayon knit. I had already drawn the pattern for the 4-panel skirt, so for this project I copied a favorite long-sleeved t-shirt for the bodice, and made up the cowl – which is big enough to be a hood […]
This morning I made spicy potato curry for my bento. Since there was enough, I packed a bento for my bro as well and he said “nom nom nom” and eated it right up. I’m like the Easter Bunny of bento or something!
I have resolved to go buy appropriate dog foods this Sunday – boring old IAMS or Nutro kibbles, and, in a massive nod toward compromise, some canned food as well. I will bring these items home and put them in the pantry, and I will then throw the crap G’ma stocks right out into the garbage. The sheer wastefulness will, I hope, get her attention.
In which I might start buying fabric and sewing it into clothing! Or… or not. My clothes suck. They’re old, or weird and out of context, or cheesy because I bought them from Walmart. Add to this the fact that my body stopped being 25 fifteen years ago and is now oddly shaped, and the […]
In which I decide to honor my extroverted side’s need to be totally fucking antisocial. Last week I had pretty rotten PMS. Emotionally I wasn’t all that much bitchier than usual, but I was as waterlogged as a long-dead corpse in a stagnant Midwestern pond and I decided to spend my weekend at home alone, […]
In which I’m a domestic goddess AND a rock star IN THE SAME DAY! Cleaning Not too terribly long ago I was standing in the shower and saw something on the wall. I reached up above the edge of the shower shell and smeared it with my finger, and it turned out to be dust. […]
In which we prepare for Friday’s par-tay. Saturday Bread and I went to town and had McDonald’s for breakfast. I know, I know. Don’t say anything. Then we went to the vet’s and bought Frontline for the animals. Then we bought kibbles for the animals. Hundred and ten bucks right there. (Next time, we’re getting […]
In which I discuss domestic issues. In the past couple of weeks I’ve had a realization. An epiphany, if you will. When Brett was working full-time and I was working part-time, I suffered from a great deal of guilt. I never felt like the house was clean enough, or like I was really working quite […]
In which I migrate even more toward my ideal sleep schedule. I’m a night person. I like to stay up late; I like to sleep in. I could happily go months without seeing the hours between dawn and eleven in the morning. Lately it’s been getting worse and worse. For instance, after getting home from […]
