Up until recently I’ve been blissfully ignorant of how many people hit my WordPress blog and where they come from. I’m coming to realize that this fact may be important to me, and I should consider adding plugins to track these things. But I have no idea which plugins capture all the data I’m curious […]

This weekend I definitely made some negative progress on my purging efforts in the form of a shopping spree. Fortunately it took place at two thrift stores and a Ross, thus having the least impact on my pocket. Unfortunately, it also meant I brought more stuff in the house in the form of clothes and […]

No, I promise, I am really excited about Barack Obama being the next president in a matter of days. I am super happy about that. But for those of you who live outside the metro DC area, you might not be aware that currently it seems like the entire eastern seaboard is experiencing Total Inauguration […]

I think it was that Batman movie. People keep talking about movies they’ve seen lately and I just… haven’t seen movies.

There is the fact that my ownership of this fondue set was the product of an acrimonious breakup with a fiance eight years ago who for whatever reason really fought me over this fondue set. There is the fact that I haven’t used it […]

Yeah, it’s a classic song, and if you don’t know it, just read. I am particularly fond of the Judy Collins version. But this post is about thinking about how I spend my time, since sometimes it seems like I don’t understand why I don’t have time for the things I enjoy. I was looking […]

I really set myself up for failure in 2008; I had all sorts of very rigid ideas about how to conduct myself, which was pretty ironic considering I hadn’t conducted myself that way at all in 2007 but had been really, really happy. I think at the time I felt I had a ball rolling […]

Under my tree this year sat, in a small unassuming package beneath all the presents I’d wrapped, my Christmas present from mom & dad. I threw several options at dad after he called my amazon wish list “anemic” (how dare he! I have carefully cultivated it to include hundreds of items!) to see if I […]
