Oh my lord, I am suddenly so cranky I can barely stand myself. Why, oh why did I have to attempt to shop for Christmas today? It just reminds me of one of the things that drives me utterly insane: Christmas with Esteban’s relatives on Christmas Eve. No, not spending time with them, as they […]

I went shopping during lunch, trying to stave off the ‘Oh my god It’s December 18th and I haven’t done a single stitch of Christmas Shopping’ thing. I haven’t really gotten into the Christmas shopping mood yet. I walked into the store and immediately saw about fourteen things I wanted for myself. I found a […]

Awhile back, I purchased a new down comforter for our bed, but I had been putting off using it because I hate putting new duvets on thick comforters. It’s a lot of work when you’ve got a king size bed, you know? So we’ve been limping along with our little mostly empty down comforter which […]

It really bothers me that I cannot find actual Doc Marten sanctioned Doc Marten shoelaces for my winter shoes. Two years ago, one of the laces broke and I limped through winter tying this tiny little lace. Last winter, the second one gave up the ghost but again, I put it off, since I didn’t […]

There seems to be a direct inverse ratio between the perceived ‘low prices’ offered at a given store and the potential for bodily harm in said stores parking lot. For example: Marshall Fields’not scary. Sam’s Wholes@le Club’scary. Barnes & Noble’not scary. W@lm@rt’enter at your own risk. I went to Mallwart yesterday in search of a […]

Esteban and I went to brunch after our lovely stay in the lovely inn with a fireplace, jacuzzi, and a view of the water. We went to Country Kitchen simply because Esteban’s butt hurt from riding in the car more than ten minutes and Country Kitchen wasn’t overly packed. Little beknownst to us, Country Kitchen […]

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was funny and bright and loved to read 19th century English literature. She wandered through her eclectic little life quite happily, flitting from book to book, occasionally making failed attempts at emulating Martha Stewart. Then one day, she picked up a new book, a children’s […]

Glory be, today is the day. Today is the day that my town gains its own center of beatnik culture. Da da da DA!!!!!!!!! Barnes & Noble! I finally got to leave work today for lunch at 2:30 in the freaking afternoon. Good thing I was able to gnaw on that intern for a while […]

Oooh, I found a place to stay for this weekend! Ok, it’s not in Door County, but it has the hot tub, a fireplace, and a deck overlooking the water. So the plan will be to drive up to Door County on Friday and tool around there, then come back to town, do a book […]

There’s just something about fall that makes me want to organize. I’ve been scouring Ebay for the Franklin Planner mahogany purse thing that I’ve lusted over for 3 years. The cost: a mere $340. Why, oh why, can I not find a sugar daddy that will shower me with presents in return for my platonic […]
