I ought to lay off the home design blogs. I saw a house today that I got a super home design crush on. It’s all so loverly & graceful. Well, the antlers right next to the bed look a little dangerous, knowing my clumsy factor (I can barely handle a dresser that’s a couple feet away). Wanting to buy pretty things get in the way of wanting to go ( Read more... )

Ok, I’ve had enough. I’ve been way too spoiled. In the past 1.5 weeks, I’ve been to 5 restaurants for Seattle Restaurant Week, and 2 other fancy restaurants besides. And on the retreat, no home-cooked meals. And fast food once too. It has been way too long since I had a home-cooked meal. I’ve been feeling a little gross as a result. And it cuts in ( Read more... )

We’re on our way to becoming a serious booze-hall. Since Paul started kegging his homebrewed beer, he’s wanted to make a kegerator to keep the beer nice & cold, especially during the summer. It’s no small investment, so I wanted something that looked a bit nicer than some of the ugly, ugly rigs I saw online. So, we decided to build a proper bar. ( Read more... )

It’s technically spring break now, but since I’m working and still have choir it’s not much of a break. In fact we were performing a song at a preview thing on Monday, so I’m roughly as busy, but with less homework.

I did find out that I’d earned a 4.0 in my class, so that was pretty uplifting. I wasn’t worried I was going to get a bad grade, but ( Read more... )

Nooooo idea what to make for CupcakeCamp Seattle. Well, I have some ideas. I have an idea for healthiest, although I’d like to try a different frosting recipe. No real idea for Seattle-y, everything keeps coming up coffee, which is a little pedestrian. And unique ingredients…not sure.

For the final class project, we got pretty good feedback on it. ( Read more... )

Also, while I’m on lunch, recently I made a photo collage, so our walls wouldn’t be quite so bare. I rather like the layout, but I used weird hangers so not all the frames are entirely straight. Still trying to decide how much that bothers me.

I bought 22 picture frames. That was the easy part. Filling them, however, is a totally different question.

There are pictures that are visually interesting. Evocative. Rife with emotional significance. Funny. Or just ones that my boobs look really good in, or even just not making a stupid face in. Personally, I don’t really want pictures of me on ( Read more... )

The site was experiencing some technical difficulties, but I think it’s sorted now. Whew.

Lately, I’ve really wanted to move, but it’s not really the time. We’re a tax refund away from conquering our debt, and that will mean the beginning of saving for a down payment, but that still means it will be a while until we’re homeowners. And I don’t want ( Read more... )
