Wordless Wednesday: Some days you just wanna hide
Spring business trip 2014: Las Vegas
Oh, Vegas. I’ve had some great travel with TNP. New Orleans, twice. Both great. San Francisco? Amazeballs. Chicago? Awesome. So when I was offered the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas to (wo)man a table at a meeting for Hospital…
Friday Five: Gatterstories Y
SHE LIVES! My business trip to Las Vegas ended up with winnings of $264 (oh, roulette, I missed you) which was all spent on: OTC meds & cough drops from a Walgreens on the strip extended checkout time at the…
Stupid beading tricks: blue bracelet
Another of my dorking-at-the-bead-table creations. It’s pretty, if a bit heavy. I have no plans for it at the moment. Maybe it’ll go toward stock for the someday-store.

No teal beads? No problem. I picked up a package of Jesse James Design Elements beads in “Mystere.” For only $5.99 you get a packet of gorgeous and chunky beads all in the same color family. It’s a very cost-effective…
Friday Five: Shadows
Listening to: Tiki Bar playlist on Songza Holy crap what a week. Last week, one of our debit card numbers/PINs was skimmed to the tune of almost $600. The money’s back in the account and the debit cards have been…
Empty
I try not to touch on this stuff because it’s sad and really, do you want to be sad? I don’t want to be sad and I don’t want you to be sad. So if you don’t want to be…
WTFacebook?
I clicked “like” on the Facebook page for author Cheryl Strayed. She wrote the books “Wild” and “Tiny Beautiful Things” and was Dear Sugar on the Rumpus. In response, Facebook helpfully offered these other pages for me to “like.” In…
