Winding Down
If you've been reading my LJ here for a while, you're probably not surprised by this. I'm going to be winding down my involvement on LJ. Lately, I've been using LJ less and less to post, preferring Twitter for daily updates. I'm interested in starting lifestyle blogging and have made some attempts at that, but will probably end up doing that on ( Read more... ) -
Things Everyone Should Know
I need a little help here. I'm putting a list together of things everyone should know how to do. Basic things, that you should be taught growing up but just ... aren't. I know there are a lot of things I have forgotten (this is just the beginning), but please take a minute to look at this list, and let me know a few things in the comments that you ( Read more... ) -
New Cat
Okay, I think I'm going to get a new cat.
I don't know if I want an adult or a kitten; it might be easier to integrate a kitten into the household, so that Shakti won't feel as threatened.

Awesome Thanksgiving
This year, I swore I wasn't going to cook. And if I did cook (because who can resist a kid who begs for her mom's home cooking?), it was just going to be us. BUT I always cook so much it seems a shame to waste it on just us... BUT I have friends with nowhere to go... BUT, but, but ( Read more... ) -
Get a Job, Save Some Dough
I've tried a lot of things in my quest to lower my monthly expenses, including driving less and lowering the thermostat. (One victory: my electric bill last month was half what it normally is. My goal had been to lower it 30 ( Read more... ) -
CultureBus!
So I'm odd, but easy public transportation excites me. Getting quickly and easily into the city every day with no more stress than locating my bus pass makes me happy. I like to drive on a quiet highway with a beautiful view; in a raging city? Not so much. I don't like the traffic, I don't like parking lots, I don't like not knowing where I'm going ( Read more... ) -
