Organize? Who, me?
Today I'm wrestling with my closet, and my NaNo project. When one gives me fits, I tackle the other, and vice versa, with the end result that nothing whatsoever is getting done. Vacuum sealed bags are a wonderful thing, but they never end up looking like they do in...
So There Was This Hurricane Thing
Today's blog post brought to you courtesy of Hurricane Sandy. I spent the weekend preparing and laying in supplies instead of writing and doing blog posts. On the one hand, I'm very prepared as you can see. In the event of apocalypse, I have dark chocolate,...
Flashback to High School
Today's post is brought to you courtesy of empty boxes, my husband, and high school. The fun thing about emptying boxes (or the torture, depending on how you view that sort of thing) is the walk down memory lane it provides. Since everything had to be...
Movie Review: Looper
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano I love a good, mind bending story, and Looper delivers in a big way. Set in the near, and far, future, Looper explores what would happen if time travel were actually invented. It's immediately outlawed, of...

Well, we did it. We moved. To Maryland. It sounds very strange to me to say I live in Maryland. I'm sure this time next year, it'll be comfortable and familiar, but right now everything is strange and new and slightly off balance. It's fun, starting over....
What’s in Your Junk Drawer?
Since we’re leaving next weekend, I finally got around to pulling out some boxes this last weekend and packing some of the things out of this apartment that we’re taking with us. Jasper immediately wanted to know if he was going with us. He then proceeded to...
Moving Right Along
Normally on Friday I'd have a review of either a book or movie I've enjoyed in the past week. However, since my head is still spinning from trying to plan a cross-country move to a place we've never lived in before, I've failed miserably on the movie-watching,...
