The snow delayed delivery by a few days, but my new navy sofa is here and I think it’s pretty sweet. When I sit on it, my butt doesn’t touch a spring! The cushions are soft, yet firm. The color…
WDW 2022 trip: What we did not like
There are 3 kinds of Disney Parks fans. The first group will never criticize a thing. The second group hates everything that has been added since 1980. The third group, the more centrist group, can love many things and still…
WDW 2022 trip: what we liked
We indeed made it to Walt Disney World and ooo what a balm to the soul it was, even with weird (and mostly justified) Covid-19 protocols. And most of the thrill was likely of the ‘holy crap we’re HERE!’ variety,…
Friday 5: Texture (and a remembrance of my red sofa)
Friends, the time has finally come for us to let go of the red sofa that was a fixture of my very first single-lady apartment. (that blog post is pure gold, by the way) Purchased in 2006, the red sofa…
I PASSED THE CAE EXAM!!!
Picture it, Sicily 1922 the Skipper Canteen restaurant at Walt Disney World. (we made it to Disney!) WM and I are eating lunch, having arrived on property a few hours earlier. We are eating cachapas and downing some ice cold…
What I’m Listening To: Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)
I’m usually not a huge fan of mashups, but this one with Elton John & Dua Lipa blows my mind. It’s part of “No Sacrifice” and part of “Rocketman.” The video is bizarre. Actually I’m pretty much into anything Dua…
Murphy is Five!
Today this noble knob known to all as Murphy Maximus Russell is 5 years old. He loves running, chewing, chicken nuggets and evening sofa snuggles. We love him and the noisy chaos he has brought to our ounce quiet home.
Friday 15: Agita
The number one reason I don’t do things when I’m supposed to is because I’m overwhelmed. This doesn’t serve me well at the job that pays me, so there I’ve managed to learn to break down large projects into smaller…
Friday 5: Everything but Yul Brynner
Hullo! I’m still here! Just been a bit quiet lately because we’ve been honkin’ busy getting things settled around here. MIL packed quite a bit of stuff and we’ve been scrambling trying to get everything in a place. Which means…
Friday 5 on Saturday: “Month” is a strange word
So yeah yeah it’s Saturday not Friday but on Thursday this happened: Last night I was burning up with a fever. So much so that I sick-bought a watercolor palette from a TikTok video and wasn’t very aware of it…
Show us your books, November 2021
Book roundup time! Another 2-book month but by the next books roundup, my exam will be behind me! Hooray! And then it’ll be silly holiday books for the rest of the year. I sure miss pleasure reading. The Night the…
What I’m Listening to: Pentatonix (again)
I listen to Pentatonix all year, but I’m always a fan of their holiday music. Wait don’t go! This is snowy and wintery but it’s not Christmassy! Watch it! Love it! Seriously though, when Scott comes in with the Italian…
