I stopped shampooing my hair. It’s a little shocking since I am a fancy salon shampoo sort of person and can’t stand using cheap shampoo. The idea of spending 100+ dollars on expensive shampoo every few months had started to pall and grate on me. Not only is it a pointless expense but I hate [...]
I was engaging in a little Recreational Anger with that last post about people commenting on shyness. I mean, it’s a real thing that sucks to have it repeated to you a million times when you are young that you are shy. I just can’t see it as a good thing. But i’m not actually [...]
I found this picture of me when I was 3 to be strangely shocking, like it’s odd that Jack looks like me. Now where are the baby photos Vim’s mom sent me.
I have already started buying christmas presents. I am unsure if this is good or bad. One, it spreads around the money so maybe you get a couple of higher bills instead of one huge one. This doesn’t help us any since we pay off our credit card completely every month so it is a [...]
Having taken one million photo courses in past lives I have a it engrained in me that one must not digitally alter ones photos after processing. It’s bullshit of course. The zone system can bite me. I plan on altering the shit out of any photos I take if that is what suits me and [...]
Every morning I wake up to a strange assortment of things in and around my bed. All night long as I sleep my fierce and mighty hunters are on the prowl for me, ready to kill. Yesterday they killed an entire green onion from the kitchen counter and left it next to my bed. Other [...]
Too many zucchinis: Vm becomes obsessed with lacto-fermentation: First he made whey and cream cheese with some strauss organic yogurt and then used the whey to make beet kvass. I think beet kvass is an acquired taste. I like it now! Poor Jack asked to taste it and spit it out and screamed I HATE [...]
Does anyone else occasionally feel like they are spending more time organizing their craft room than actually doing any creative work in there? I swear that is the stage I have been in for months. I think I was just so busy and stressed about CCE planning that there were no creative juices flowing and [...]
I have a million posts I want to write but none of them seem to be flowing out of me. One reason is that I started to do the thing where I start forgetting to take my meds and then there’s some point where I can’t remember when I last took them and I think, [...]
You may or may not know that i have been involved in creating the Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs the past couple of years. During this two year period I have become and expert at spelling entrepreneurs. Fact. This year CCE is being held at the Women’s Building in the Mission District of SF August 5th-7th. [...]
Well, our trip to Monterey wasn’t exactly how I pictured it. It had some good moments but the museum trip was NOt one of them. I think we spent a total of like 2.5 hours there and then we had to leave due to excessive whining and general unfunness. The museum was too crowded. It’s [...]
I looked through my sisters flickr to find a (almost) full length picture of me. I don’t have any really by my own camera since it is usually me wielding stand it’s not like I’m out taking drunken photos in bars with my friends anymore. nope. I’m home and in bed by 9:30 every night.. [...]
I need to create a new avatar since I’m not blonde anymore. My driver’s license says that I am blonde… I need go get that changed to gray and blue. Now I am this:
Holy shit, y’all. Why did I cave and say I would have a big party for Jack? I caved because I knew Jack was enjoy it but I now know that my imaginings of how much I would NOT enjoy it are all totally truer than shit. Some things to remember: First off, even the [...]
I’m trying to decide where to plant the 2 little yarrow plants that i bought last weekend. I’ve got clay soil and that right there means that i haven’t got a place where yarrow will be super super happy. – flowers are good for drying and are nicely aromatic – has a bunch of medicinal [...]
I often don’t know what I know, or more accurately, i don’t give myself credit for knowing the things that i know. It’s a common introvert trait. I always KNOW that there is someone out there who knows more about a thing than me and therefore I can’t let myself admit that i know a [...]
Does this look weird to you? I’ve been driving around looking at houses around here and the main difference I can see is that our house is the only one with the garage under where the front door needs to be. Most houses have a separate garage or a garage under the main victorian bay [...]
I’ve been mucking about with dirt this semester. I did a bunch of tests on a patch of dirt on the backyard and for all internets and porpoises it is totally dead dirt. no nutrients, minerals or anything that a plant might need in order to grow. This is what happens to your dirt when [...]
I’n not so sure I want there to be life after coffee even if it’s clear that no coffee is better for me. I finished up my 21 day detox diet last week. It was a diet that my acupuncturist recommend. She had a seminar about it and then ran a group diet. It was [...]
