Black Cherry Milk
Seriously, this happens in my life. It’s pretty much the best thing that’s happened to me since, well, since my doctor told me all those headaches I was getting were actually atypical migraines and that caffeine would help. Have I mentioned how much I despise milk? Unless of course you hand me an ooey-gooey brownie.…

Things Are Getting Desperate
I’ve been without a kitchen for a week and a half and things are not going well. The kitchen is coming along just fine. I am not going well. I am seriously getting desperate. I need a peanut butter pie. It’s practically a health food with all that protein in it. And I believe in…

Romantic Interludes Over Oatmeal
This is what the parents kitchen currently looks like. It’s going to be beautiful when it’s done. Until then, eating is a rather difficult proposition. The parents are taking it in a stride. Mostly they just don’t eat. I thought it was pretty humorous a few years ago when McDonald’s started serving oatmeal for breakfast.…

I noticed the time on my personal computer is still set for the eastern time zone.
And suddenly I was homesick. It’s been about three years since I moved from Virginia to Utah, but in that moment when my computer told me it was 5:08 instead of 3:08, I missed living in Virginia as intensely as I did the first few days after moving. And then I realized I wasn’t homesick…

My year of no spending is taking a toll.
I left the library today with a single book. I don’t know myself.

The Donner Party in Trains
I’ve had the Donner Party on my mind as of late, after driving up to the pass and viewing the lake, seeing the memorial bridge. It’s a tragic story. However, remembering the Donner Party always makes me laugh a bit at myself. When I was a child I suffered from a humorous misunderstanding. We learned…

A Book Lady
The other day I went to Barnes and Noble. I haven’t set foot in a bookstore in I don’t know how long. Part of trying to be fiscally responsible. Books are definitely wants, not needs, and fall under extraneous purchasing. Particularly since I have an awesome library within biking distance. I was given an amex…

Christmas in May
I placed my first online order for fabric. I was very, very nervous. I wanted to see my fabric, feel it, look at the colors all lined up. Physical stores didn’t have the fabric I was looking for. Really, I had no other choice. The online fabric store has a 30-day return policy, and will…

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
This is happening.I’ve been looking forward to Shakespeare in the Park for nearly a year and it’s finally here! Remember when I went to Othello last year? It was awesome. They do a fantastic job and the plays are accessible to anyone. I did a lengthy group report on A Midsummer Night’s Dream in college…
