A good morning and a very happy birthday to enigmaticblues! All the very best things to you in the (very exciting) year to come ( Read more... )

So, do you all want to hear something cool and also vaguely unsettling? After Wednesday's Pushing Daisies, I had a long conversation with myself about the awesomeness of Beth Grant, and decided to write a Beth Grant tribute post for Cinema Hype. So I write the post and call it good. Today, who comments--very nicely, I might add--on the post, but ( Read more... )

Yep, definitely Monday night. I checked. Just finished Monday day. Tomorrow's Tuesday. Sounds about right. And yet, so many moments of happy, all on one night! Only the bullet points can contain my joy:

- Cute guy on the bus gets off at my stop (but does not live in my building; that would be asking too much, apparently)

- Wearing this sweater- ( Read more... )

Just driving by to say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

...to all who celebrate. To those who don't, uh, happy December 25th?

It's that time of year, folks! Happy December!

Today begins official card-writing season, and you all know I love stationery and sending happy thoughts to my favorite people. So. If you'd like to receive a card from me, comment on this post with your name and address--comments will be screened, obv.--and I'll get writing!

Stolen from carrielh imperviousness in the name of getting and sending sneak-attack fun in the mail:

For the first five people that reply to me and re-post this challenge, I will send you something. It might be something I've made, or something cool from my hidden stash; it might be a mix CD, or a rubber duck, a book I think you will enjoy, or something else that is ( Read more... )

Today is a good day. Why? I will give you a list:

1. It's Friday. NO WORK TOMORROW!

2. Baked-good heaven: I made Amish friendship bread and brought it to work, and then someone brought in the Best Cookies Ever from a local vegan bakery. I don't know what this woman uses in her stuff, but it's all amazing, and possibly butterier than things with, ( Read more... )

First things first: Date went well. Google Maps lied (!) and it rained when I didn't expect rain, but my superior sense of direction and my hard-won, Seattle-formed natural weatherproofing prevailed, and I was there more or less on time. We met at a cute little neighborhood restaurant; I had vegetable risotto (it's a sickness); we talked about ( Read more... )
