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…

Toiletgeddon 2012, or I Got My Parents a New Bathroom for Christmas. (The exploding toilet saga.)
Originally posted on Joanna Volavka: So here we are. It is December 5 and I finally have a story for you. I’ve already told it partly on twitter, but feel that it should be EXPLAINED. Here it is, as I wrote it, commentary added as needed. ….. Monday. 3:28pm: Twitter I just got attacked by…

11 Guilty Pleasures
The other day I was in the craft store, looking at all of the autumny things (as craft stores always have things two months early for MAKING things), and discovered that the GOOD kind of candy corn was in stock. I promptly bought myself two bags. That got me thinking: I know there’s a contingency…

Saturday Caturday: unicorn-cats… unicats?
Recently I picked up a product that I’d only seen online but found in a random little shop I was exploring… Inflatable unicorn horn FOR CATS. Because who doesn’t want a pet unicorn? The horn had to be duct-taped twice, once for each cat to wear, because each one figured out how to hook a…

North Dakota Conspiracy, Revisited
In a strange and yet kind of AWESOME turn of events, my blog now appears only SECOND to Wikipedia when you search “North Dakota conspiracy” in Google. Seriously, go try it. I noticed because my blog host tells me what search terms people use to find the blog, and there have been consistent (if in…

Advertising: YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.
Well, doing it badly, in any case. I was going to write about our MUCH belated holiday party from this weekend today, but NO. If you know me well, you know I don’t think much of most ads, especially when I can tell I am the target audience and feel that THEY are pandering to…

Well, I SAID I wanted to see the Sonoran Desert.
So here’s the thing. I’ve been trying to go to as many national parks (or historic sites, as the case may be) this year as possible. I’m excited about my passport stampbook (as I’ve previously posted) and especially since we now live in the half of the country with all of the huge natural areas,…

Pop Quiz at the DMV
Today I went to get new license plates for my car. The old plates expired while the car was in storage, so when I got it back two weeks ago, I started the process of getting them. First I had to get it repaired; it needed a new belt and a new sensor, and that…

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…
