Every Movie Should Have Dogs

Sometimes I replay moments in my life as if they were part of one extremely long movie. The movie might be boring in parts but it’s got one hell of a love story, a rockin soundtrack and dogs. Who doesn’t like movies with dogs?
Anyway…In this movie, each character has a different song associated with them. [...]

In The Kitchen

I hit a milestone yesterday…I finally cooked spanish rice that could have rivaled my mother’s.
Ok, maybe “rivaled” is a bit strong (’cause ain’t nobody beats my Mom’s rice) but it was definitely in contention. AND…and I had the disadvantage of trying to make it with brown rice instead of it’s tastier but more hazardous [...]

The Little Laughing Buddha

I love that little Buddha in the picture above, he reminds me of a perfect childhood filled with frogs in creeks, boysenberry picking and backyard safaris. Ah, those were great days.
My mother had the Laughing Buddha in her room for as long as I can remember. Whether he was in her closet or standing on [...]

A Little World

It’s been two years in the making, but I finally finished my terrarium!! Jim kept asking if I was ever going to do anything with the huge glass jar in the living room corner and well, I figured I waited long enough. It was so easy that now I don’t know why I waited so [...]

Take Your Earphones OUT

There’s nothing quite like spending a quiet Saturday afternoon sharing a platter of freshly made bruchetta, huh?  And all of it on my favorite thrifted platter? Nope, doesn’t get better.
I seriously love tomatoes. Little balls of juicy goodness…that’s what they are.________________________
Have you guys seen the Amazing Subway Concert (scroll down a bit to see video)? [...]

Is This All She Talks About?

If you’ve been reading my blog for the last month or so, you’ll know that I’ve had zombies on the mind. So…it’ll come as no surprise when I tell you that I bought this Folded Pigs plate, right? I wrapped it up and gave it to Jim just so it wouldn’t seem like I had [...]

WE ARE PEEPS!

So this is what I ended up doing with all the extra Peeps we didn’t destroy in Peep Wars. Poor little birdies got impaled with toothpicks and then stuck to a foam wreath. We like to think of it as our interpretation of 300, I was even going to put a little “Tonight we dine [...]

Monday are Rough

Heh, Mondays are just as rough for my office buddies as they are for me. It’s almost as if they wish they could just sleep the entire week away. I think they like it better when Jim and I are together all day…I know I do.
We started giving Zefram Fish Oil in his meals to [...]

The Devil’s In the Details

Have you heard about the Felt Club fundraiser yet? Poor Jenny got bombarded with fines for posting violations and now has to come up with more then $600 to pay them….either that or hand over her first child to the government. With the current state of the government, we think it’s a good idea that [...]

Baby, It’s Hot Outside

Well, that’s it. Last week it was hot enough to turn on the window unit in the craft room…and it’s only March. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long, hot summer.
To help myself cool down a bit, decided to try a new recipe out of Vegetarian Times, Pineapple-Coconut Sorbet. I only had [...]
