The day that Betty White dies is going to devastate me. I don't know why I love her like I do. She's an incredible comic talent, is regarded by everyone as an absolute sweetheart, and has a nose that looks just the teensiest tiniest bit like my mom's. Beyond that, though, there is nothing to explain why I feel this way. It makes me understand how ( Read more... )

It's easiest to just use a water glass to cut out circular ( Read more... )

I joined Ravelry. It was mostly because I have trouble finishing my projects and figured I might have better success if I had a way to track it online. I LOVE tracking things online. Money, calories consumed, and now stitches knitted. It's fun stuff so far ( Read more... )

I'm sick this morning. I'm not deathly ill, but I'm sick. My throat is sore, my lungs won't let me get a good deep breath without sending me into a coughing fit, and my body is tired and aching. Slipping off all my clothes and sliding between my cool sheets a few moments ago was the most wonderful feeling. My bedside table is very comforting, ( Read more... )

I'm getting in the shower. I'm exfoliating thoroughly. I'm drying off. I'm trying an at-home spray tan for Mom's wedding. High risk, high reward.
