If there is anyone who needs to restart her Purge Thursday habits, it is me. I have been psychologically blocked lately in part due to this obsession with taking before pictures. But this weekend there was sun! So I took this picture of my office: It is stitched together with the Canon Photostitch software and […]

Sometimes you find that your brand loyalty pays off. Usually, you hope it pays off in the sense that the company for whom you have a slavish devotion continues to make the product that earned them your devotion in the first place. Sometimes though, it doesn’t work that way, and you wear shoes until they […]

So I was really psyched at the advent of “Vitamin Water 10”, the low calorie version of one of my favorite drinks. I’ve read science back and forth on the health value of the original, and people are always decrying the sugar. Well no more! So thus I found myself delighted to see several flavor […]

I finally threw caution to the wind. I finally broke up with my steady er, phone service. I finally was fully seduced by what many call the jesusphone. I just spent all night syncing music to it… ratcheting back from being able to have all my music is hard. I already slapped 12g on there […]

People. You may remember when I last went to Paganfest in 2008. And how much ass it kicked. And how much metal I have listened to since. Well, I am super excited to report that it is back. And it is NOT on Telf’s birthday (observed). If you are interested, get your ass some tickets!! […]

There is the fact that fondue is a cleaning-intensive food project. 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 […]

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 […]

For this Purge Thursday I’m ditching two trash bags of Clothes. I found some things that look Careworn, some things that look Crappy, and some things that are devoid of Comfortableness (two sizes too small). I can tell that this is just the beginning, though. See, while I was getting all my decorations ready for […]

I was listening to my latest audiobook It’s All Too Much by Peter Walsh, when it struck me that the Unclutterer doesn’t have a corner on the market of simplifying your life! I constantly look around the house and see things I don’t use. Sometimes I find I’m avoiding something I want to do in […]
