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…

Beachy Brunch
Yesterday I went to brunch with some friends up in Cardiff. We sat outside on the patio (which was an upper level) and got to have a fantastic view of the beach while we had eggs benedict and fruit and such. It was nice to sit and chat and have a (very late) breakfast and…

Saturday Caturday: Leena approves of the porch furniture
She is enjoying BIRD WATCHING (since I don’t allow any of her preferred passtimes of BIRD CATCHING and BIRD MANGLING) in this picture. She’s always been the more adventurous of the two kitties (Caspian is sitting on the other side of the sliding door where he can “safely” watch the outside without having to, y’know,…

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…

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…

When I told a friend that, and got back: “Oh, so you’re living on bread and water?” I said, “Nope, I’m out of bread.” And that’s just what…

So, it’s July
And I haven’t posted in almost a month. To be fair, there’s been a lot happening in personal-life-world so it’s no surprise, but I realized I have a draft from June…teenth that’s nothing but a title and it’s really time to get back to it. So here we go. Things happening right now: The Duke…

Day 29, and determined not to miss another post
This was supposed to be a nice post about the fantastic weekend J and I had in Monterey and San Francisco (sea otters! seafood! aquarium! Golden Gate Bridge! redwoods!) but we got in late last night and I want to show you pictures (which are still sitting on the camera, untouched), so you’ll have to…

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…

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…
