Good Intentions
All my good intentions live in a beautiful, make-from-recycled-paper day planner. Several, if I’m honest. I have such high hopes for every new year, and I go out and buy a lovely floral planner (you can see the two from last year above) and I carefully copy over all of the birthdays, anniversaries, and other…

Cupcakes for One: revisited!
So if you’ll recall, a couple of weeks ago I made a batch of cupcakes and then froze (almost) all of them to see how well they’d hold up in long-term storage, as such. I remember our frozen wedding cake being extremely edible (though all of the frosting shlumped off like a wet towel… which…

Wisdom from The Doctor
Impossible Astronaut Day was the 23rd. I kept finding these weird marks on my arm, but the only thing I heard was silence… Here are eleven things I have learned from The Doctor: The least important things sometimes, my dear boy, lead to the greatest discoveries. 1st Doctor Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one…

Just another cat video: Caspian chasing his tail
Yeah, I know the internet doesn’t NEED another cat video, but surely the internet WANTS another cat video, right? Caspian does this ALL THE TIME and no one ever gets to see, even when I try to cleverly flip a video-chat camera around. Tuesday I finally caught him on camera, so here you go. He’s…

I got nothin’.
blog post. ((That is the lovely contribution from J, when I told him I couldn’t think of anything to write today. THANKS, HONEY.)) But really, I got nothin’. I liked this week’s episode of Doctor Who. It had a “classic Who” feel to it. Maybe I’ll write about that tomorrow? I mean, I kind of…

A couple of random photos from my new camera
I got a new point and shoot camera for Christmas (sometimes it’s nice to just have one with you, so you don’t have to lug around a full size camera bag; this one fits nicely in my purse!), and pulled a few photos off of it. First, seeing The Hobbit in 3D with my sister: We were…

Things for which my sister is too tall.
Over the last couple of months that I’ve been visiting my family (it’s been an extended visit, what can I say?), I’ve discovered a growing list of things for which my sister is too tall. They include, but are not limited to: Disney World (starting with the tram from the parking lot, and including many…

Important Life Lesson: Use Caution with Dehydrated Foods
Thing I learned tonight: No matter how tempting it may seem, it is NOT, in fact, a good idea to try and eat a spoonful of dehydrated* potato flakes. Even if you just want to see what they taste like. Even if it’s not an entire spoonful. They stick to the roof of your mouth. For…

At the Mad Hatter Tea
I finally got my photos edited and uploaded from the Mad Hatter tea party last weekend. You can see them at my photo blog, though I’ll post a couple of favorites here. Many of the photos are either of me or of my friend’s daughter, mostly because I didn’t take many photos of the actual…

Alrighty Then: pop culture references that… don’t.
Recently I’ve started paying attention to various ways our everyday language is strange (being in a place where people commonly don’t quite understand one another even though we can all speak “English” does that to you). Our use of expressions and idioms, for instance, must confuse some people not from the US to no end.…
