    Copenhagen is Dreamy and Also Wet But Best To Keep Those Adjectives Separated

    August 24, 2017

    Every few months I try to get away for a mini-vacation and this one was even more miniature than most but so, so worth it. As I was frantically last-minute packing I was also conferencing in Tom and my boss for a blah blah blah work call. August has been…

    Copenhagen, Here We Come (in Eleventeen Hours) and I Think I Packed Underwear

    August 18, 2017

    We made it to LAX and there was no issue with our tickets. The fellow who checked us in at the desk said sometimes the British Airways connections require you to check in with your passport or visa in person as a security measure, so yay, we breezed through. Also…

    Work-Life Balance, Wherefore Art Thou?

    August 17, 2017

    Frankie likes to sleep on top of me, she snuggles in the dip at the small of my back. This morning I woke up and for just a brief moment I tried to breathe and focus on her tiny, furry weight and rhythmic breathing. Then my brain kicked in and…

    A Good Time Was Had By All, Especially Those of Us Who Ate All the Hello Dollies

    August 14, 2017

    Drew’s visit was a solid success. The guest room was clean and comfortable for an actual human guest, not just occupied by a cat randomly sitting on an errant pile of paper that has drifted onto the floor. I spent so much time focused on getting the house shipshape that…

    The Guest Room Is DONE! Drew is On An Airplane Flying To Los Angeles! Operation Houseguest Has Commenced!

    August 9, 2017

    The final tasks are done: The curtains are hemmed and hung up, the bed is made, the room is clean and functional and inviting. The sheets are fresh and crisp, there is nary a cat hair on the bedspread, the delightful smell of Christmas is wafting out of the oil…

    Tuesday Tidbits August 8th

    August 8, 2017

    SO CLOSE. This day finishes up my workweek and then tomorrow Drew arrives and it’s my first real day off work in zillions of hours and I can’t wait for the long, unbroken respite of friendship chitchat and relaxation. Drew and I saw each other just a few months ago…

Famous Last Words

"Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?"

Right now I am …

Starting to take some of the improvements from the guest room and add them to my bedroom, like this cool power outlet for the bedside table. I’m hoping it helps with the constant problem of needing to charge all devices simultaneously.


Still obsessing over Sew Over It and Lisa Comfort, the lady boss behind it all. Here is her site, YouTube vlog, and Insta. I bought pretty much every pattern they have during the recent 30% off sale.


Currently reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. I need this book to help me but I don’t have enough time to read this book because I’m working nonstop, so…


Interested in these silica gel packets for my yarn stash. Does anyone out there add these to ziplock baggies of yarn?


Listening to lovely Carla Bruni singing “Quelqu’un m’a dit.”

Also I took this very emotional video of tiny moss growing on an ancient stone wall in Wales. 🤷‍♀️

More pics from our walk around the ruins of Llanthony Priory, just north of us. This place is nearly 1,000 years old and it felt like a dream inside a dream.
