it's Friday and I would rather be sleeping
...but I feel like I should be being productive instead. Naptime is such a brief window anyway (when it happens ( Read more... ) -
selling smells
Clearing out the ol' BPAL stash, because I don't want to end up on Hoarders. I found I had so many perfumes I couldn't get to my favorites or appreciate what I had. Less is more. (Which, now that I think about it, isn't a good sales pitch ( Read more... ) -
badgers like smells
Back when I was young and had money (in other words, Before Children), I bought a bunch of fun things I didn't actually need, like BPAL perfumes. I'm saving my favorites, but I'm also selling off a bunch because I don't have a lot of excess cash, and I also need the space. I try not to let my hoards get too out-of-control ( Read more... ) -
almost here...
So I am kind of here...I'll be honest, what lured me back was the news that Terri Windling was in need and that there was an auction going on to help her. I have such tremendous respect for her that I felt there was nothing else I could do but jump right into that. Here's the LJ auction site, if you'd like to check it out:magick4terri. I will tell you ( Read more... ) -

Namaste, bitches. -
the migratory habits of condiments and canned foods
So my husband has this jar of spicy pickle chips (sliced pickles, not flavored potato snacks). He got them out of the pantry cupboard with the intention of putting them in the fridge. This plan was quickly changed when he realized there were three (yes, three) open jars of pickles in there already ( Read more... ) -
taking a break
I went to Joann's yesterday to get fabric to make the wee one some woobies. And next to the fabric store was a bookstore. And I thought, I'll just pop in and take a quick look around. I won't buy much. (You may think you know where this is going, but you don't.) I did a major ::sadface:: when I saw that they did not have Catherynne Valente's ( Read more... ) -
so I have to tell you this one
I love my mother-in-law -- she is absolutely awesome. But last night, when she was visiting, she told the story of how one of her cats caught a skink and was playing with it in the house. Except she pronounces "skink" as "skank" and that's an entirely different visual. I could barely keep a straight face ( Read more... ) -
oh dear oh deer
Dinner tonight could be interesting, but not in a good way. I decided I was going to make my first attempt at crock pot cooking today. I had a lovely venison roast in the freezer, and a bag of small red potatoes from the farmers market. It seemed the obvious thing to do. Except that this morning I discovered that, upon defrosting, the hunk of ( Read more... ) -
hinges, hell: hotter than
I had really been looking forward to the Howard County Powwow this weekend, but with heat indexes hitting 110 degrees today, and not much better tomorrow, there is no way on earth I am taking my baby to an outdoor event. Dang. :( Now I has a sad. This will be the first year in ages that I haven't made it to this Powwow ( Read more... )
