I dropped my iPod a few weeks ago It's not the first time, but sadly, this time I broke it a little bit. The poor thing had a good, long 2.5 years and it has served me well on many travels across the globe. The display would light up when [...] Read More…
Rob and I always pass by this awesome vintage store on Olive St and it's always closed. Last week it was open for the first time that we've seen so we stopped in and found a cute old couple selling all sorts of excellent treasures. I've been looking for an old globe for [...] Read More…
I went to Home Depot last weekend and got some herbs and pots and things to make a little garden. Oh and I needed a level too. But anyway, it turned out great! There's some cinnamon basil and parsley in that first pot, then a pot of so-called "compact innocence" (I could use a [...] Read More…

It wasn't a particularly eventful day. I got up and went for hungover breakfast (mmmm eggs benedict) with the boys. I drank too much bad coffee though and it kinda made my head spin. In the pouring rain, which then turned to snow, I set out for Home Depot to pick up [...] Read More…
This has been the first weekend in a long, long time that I haven't been working. That sounds pathetic and it is. I cheated on Sunday night to catch up on emails and see what my Monday is going to look like (it's looking grim), but other than that it was a totally [...] Read More…
