NaBloPoMo NoMo?

Well that was…anticlimactic. Because I’ve been posting late at night, and because it’s the weekend, I totally lost track and thought I had one more day of posting for NaBloPoMo. But no! It was done yesterday! Which I should have realized yesterday when I signed my name and wrote the date on one thousand pieces … Continue reading →

Gray Friday

Because I didn’t get up until 11:30 yesterday morning, I couldn’t sleep last night. My sleeplessness was aided and abetted by a good book and random cold-weather house-settling noises. I knew it had to be getting cold by how much noise the house was making. When I looked at my weather app at 2:00 AM, … Continue reading →

Happy Thanksgiving!

Planning Ahead

The recent weather has me putting together an overnight kit to stash in the car. Because I live about an hour from where I work, the weather can prevent me from getting home. I want to make sure I can easily arrange to stay close to work and avoid the potentially dangerous highway. I’m trying … Continue reading →

A Few of My Favorite Things

Sara recently posted about her favorite things, Oprah-style. What a fun way to share gift ideas and useful products! So without further ado (because, let’s face it, I’ll say plenty below), some of my favorite things: 1. Winter Dream Tea from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf This tea is so delightful. It’s a rooibos … Continue reading →
