On April 1st, while we were standing around waiting for the building owners to Coe for the catering order they had put in for a 6:00 AM pickup, and decided to do a prank for April Fool's day. We printed a sign that said that as of April 2nd, we were becoming a Starbucks location ( Read more... )

Snow day today. I did almost nothing, hung out on the couch with Matt and the cats and dogs, later took a nap. I opened up the carpet tiles I ordered a while back, and it turns out, they're pretty ugly, but I stuck them to the floor around the bed anyway. It's a whiff of call center chic for the home. Should've just gotten rugs like normal people ( Read more... )

My soccer hooligans! I am waiting a few more minutes for my phone to charge (my realtor gave me an iPhone! Now that's service!) and then heading to Bethesda for my state board exams in cosmetology. I HOPE YESTERDAY'S MASS SHOOTING DOESN'T COMPLICATE MY TRAVEL PLANS. Ugh. Matt's DC office is right by Navy Yard, but he wasn't there yesterday, and ( Read more... )

Baby dumplings, I am somewhat using tumblr now, and I don't get it. But, borninabeautysalon is my tumblr name ( Read more... )

Ooh, my test out was today, and I cut this sick-ass grad bob, and the other cuts were fine, too, so did I collect all the Pokemons? I won't know 'til Tuesday.
Things were not a waking nightmare this time.

Cat door update!  One cat has taken on the role of Warlord of Upstairs, and has taken to blockading the less-aggressive cat in the basement.  I noticed her lying in front of the door, and periodically just reaching her paw in and swatting.  Sure enough, Isabel-Waffle, my sepcial kitty, was on the other side.  Oh, cats.  I think my strategy of ( Read more... )

I am in the back seat of a derby filled car heading back to baltimore from ft. Wayne indiana. We are in Ohio and it is going to be a long night. The gentlemen were the team that did not win in three out of three bouts, but they had their moments ( Read more... )

The house we saw today is cute as balls.  Cute.  As. Balls.  I melted into a puddle on a floor.  From that perspective, I did notice some potential water damage around one skylight.  Skylights are a curse.  But nice!  May you live in naturally lit and leaky times. The kitchen is better than it looks.  There's an extra little nook of kitchen, and ( Read more... )

 Hey, Charm City. You may have seen this on Facebook, and re-posting fever may not help much, but if you live in the Baltimore area or have friends that do, please read this description of Phylicia Barnes, 16, who went missing a couple days ago. She was visiting from North Carolina, and doesn't really know the area or people here other than her ( Read more... )

The tasting party was great.  We had a great crowd, who descended on the food like a plague of locusts.  There was practically nothing left at the end of the night.  I think we raised some decent funds, too ( Read more... )
