Getting There From Here

I have no idea how it got to this point, but I am not happy with the road I’m walking down.
I have no idea how to dig myself out of this, how to get myself back to being a runner, to feeling pride in my body and what it can do, to get myself back [...]

I Can Only Think of Sort of A Dirty Title For This But I Thought It Was Too Innapropriate*

My husband just tried to hide his Otter Pop wrapper in a plant pot in the living room!  !!!! Good god.
Speaking of the living room, we have the worlds most awkwardly shaped living room, I believe I have mentioned that before.  This weekend we had an enormous fight in which I believe I was referred [...]

Olympic Hangover

Is anyone else so ready for fall?
Fall is just such a movie season, at least in my head.
I like to sit around while I’m sweating balls and sucking down another Extreme Gulp full of lukewarm Diet Coke and romanticize fall. You know, in my spare time?
I’ve already scienced out a project involving my front steps, [...]

Stung

Yesterday was not a good day.
Eli got stung by a bee.
And I know.  In the grand scheme of things, in the face of pain and death and abuse and loss and all the horribleness out there in the world, this is not a major trauma, and also probably not something I should still be shaken [...]

American Pie

So last weekend Mr. E and I packed up a ton of totally unnecesary shit and folded ourselves into our tiny Jetta and drove on over to Sausalito to check out the Heath Tile Factory and then have a picnic with some friends of ours brave enough to eat our food and help us wrangle [...]

Permanent Lifetime Ban - Updated

Do you ever feel like the world is just one big joke that you don’t get? Like maybe somewhere someone once thought something was funny and everyone else was afraid to look stupid and admit that they didn’t get it so they just pretended it was funny too and then we everyone laughed SO harrrrrrrd [...]

What’s In Your Shower?

Dudes, this is terrible, but I totally haven’t written anything since Tuesday because the only thing I can think of to write is a Slynnro style What’s In Your Blankety Blank type post and I ordered some new face wash and some new shampoo and it’s not here yet, and I couldn’t take an incomplete [...]

* Shop Update *

Thank goodness for naps - I finally had time to add a bunch of cool vintage things to my Etsy store, so check it out if you have time - hopefully you get a nap time today too.

Unlearning

Sometimes I wonder if I will spend my entire adult life unlearning my childhood.
I am very slowly unlearning the cheapness I inherited from my father. I love to shop but I love a bargain even more, and I can’t stop myself from buying something on sale, even if it’s not quite right.  I have done [...]

Fan Club

Let’s just put it this way. Mr. E has a lot of fans.
I am fairly sure my mother likes him more than she likes me.  Any time she has ever gotten the slightest inclination that there was a chance we wouldn’t be together 4 EVA, she would fuh reek the hell out and inform me [...]
