HSP

I don’t know about you, but I occasionally have days where everything seems to annoy me, and I’m not talking about people (well, I have those days too, but this is different). I mean, every single physical sensation has an annoyance factor nearing painful. So far today, I’ve had to remove my rings just to …keep reading

So we didn’t celebrate Memorial day… so sue me

We did plenty of other things and kept quite busy. And to take ’s perspective on things (she recently said something about this regarding Mother’s Day), it’s not always necessary to do the remembering or the appreciating on a holiday, when one should really be doing it year-round (in responding to some of her fellow …keep reading

Insert Synonym for “Pictoral Update” Here

The tree at our house is blooming, which usually results in many photos being taken.

Here's my favorite (click on it to go to Flickr where you can see a bunch more).

The amaryllis is grow-grow-growing! And finally, it sprouted what will be a flower! I was getting worried that it would just …keep reading

Recipe Linkfest 2, the fatty edition

Do you need more motivation to use your kitchen, to make food and consume it, thus adding to your waistline, or to make food and give it away, thus upping your karma? Here are some more suggestions….

Recipe Linkfest

Either I’m hungry all the time or I have a newfound love of food (or at least preparing it) due to there being a television in my kitchen. Methinks it’s a bit of both. Either way, I had about a jillion bookmarked recipes that I’ve decided to share with you. Hopefully, they’re …keep reading

You Don't Even Know (Unless You Do)

Do you know how tired I am today? I am so tired that I have Restless Legs before 9 am. That, my friends, is a serious pain in the behind. If you haven’t experienced restless legs, then you don’t know the torture that it is. Perhaps you’re familiar if you’ve ever lived with someone who …keep reading

What’s Going On Linkfest

Why I’m not voting for McCain (surprisingly, it’s not his environmental policies, which are amazingly forward-thinking for a Republican), and another article on feminism and the election.  I was going to comment on these, but… I think you can pretty much guess what I would say, and it’s nothing new or original, so I’ll just …keep reading

Stuff Linkfest

Block Poster – a free service to create really big poster prints for your walls. From this post on IkeaHacker about a cool headboard / wall mural idea that I love (second photo down). Think we can do that in our next house? I think the key is having the right photo.

Some links I’ve saved up for you lately on things related to food….

Bits and Pieces

I’ve had several partially-formed blog posts in my head for the last week. None of them really make up a full post on their own, and they’re probably too random to make up a meaningful post, but they’re cluttering up my head, so it’s time to get them out.

I am currently on a bird kick, …keep reading

Spring Cleaning

I’ve reorganized my cubicle (slightly, but enough to throw me off balance temporarily), I wiped down all the surfaces in my cube, and I even cleaned up a ton of bookmarks in Firefox. I got around to setting up a bunch of “linkfest” posts (divided up into smaller, easier-to-consumer chunks since the last time I …keep reading

Again, the blogosphere is weird

A while back, I mentioned that someone I knew only through their blog (and who probably doesn’t even know me) had broken up with their significant other and how weird of an experience that was for me as a non-involved person in their lives.  Well, they recently got back together after much secrecy and are …keep reading
