Since Love surprised me with an engagement ring this past Christmas I’ve been getting into the excitement of planning the wedding. I’m really crafty and creative and I don’t want some overdone event nor the price tag that goes with it. I want to do a lot of the personal touches myself and am excited…

Little Unexpected Perks
When you are a Disney fan, living a little over an hour away from Walt Disney World comes with obvious perks. Being a Florida resident means you can go for tiny money compared to the visitor who spends thousands for a week’s stay. (Honestly, you can go unlimited times throughout a year for $15/month as…
Almost 400!
I’m only 11 sales shy of reaching 400 sales in my etsy shop! I would love to reach this milestone, so I would appreciate help in spreading the word. Perhaps you can share my shop link on facebook, or tweet it or pin a favorite item or two? More items available in the shop. And,…
A Little Bit of This and That
Saturday Didn’t do a lot over the weekend. Saturday I originally was going to meet up with an online friend for lunch but sadly, she hurt herself moving furniture the night before and had to reschedule. (Hope you’re feeling better, Jennifer!) So instead, we ran a handful of errands and rented The Help. It was…
I am STILL Obamacare
And I’ve been featured on the official Obama For America tumblr page! (click for larger) The image of course, is from the entry, I am ObamaCare that I initially posted in October 2011, but went viral in January 2012. Now, with the 2nd anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (or “ACA”), the President is collecting…
Love’s Neurologist Appointment
This entry was actually started two days ago and has been sitting as a draft. Didn’t get a chance to update on Love’s appointment with the neurologist last Thursday. As a recap, a little over a year ago now (February 2011), he started getting what he thought was “vertigo.” He was getting dizzy, throwing up…
In A Bad Place
I thought I was dealing with last week being the 2nd anniversary of Rand’s death pretty well, until I realized last night as I was getting ready for bed that I’m actually in a bad place. I’m really angry and have no patience right now and everything is overwhelming pissing me off disproportionately to what…
No Patience for Fiddly Bits Today
I keep starting projects today but I find I just can’t focus enough to finish them. For example: I have 3″ of 8″ of a chain maille bracelet (custom order) done which was hours of frustration. And now, I find after getting the first three inches done, I cannot for the life of me get…
Explosion – Aftermath
I wound up cleaning it all myself yesterday. Literally on my hands and knees scrubbing every inch of the floor. Used an entire roll of paper towels soaking it up (because I did NOT want to use my kitchen towels given how utterly nasty it smelled.) I cleaned the floor four times – once with…
Explosion
I came into my kitchen this afternoon to see this: WTF? It was semi-liquid, but also sticky and smelled like weirdly metallic pineapple. And it was EVERYWHERE: Two full bags of ruined and sodden items later, I finally found the culprit; I apparently had a can of Dole pineapple juice I didn’t know about: It…
Post Hysterectomy – Almost 6 Months
Today is day 161 or 5.75 months since my surgery. Next week will be 6 months since my hysterectomy. Crazy to think six months has gone by already! In an effort to continue to help those looking for information and healing timelines for a hysterectomy, here’s where I am at. At six months, you are…
Painfully Numb
Today is two years since my best friend, Rand, passed away. And needless to say, it’s been difficult for me all over again. I read in a book recently that grief never truly goes away, you just kinda forget about it until something reminds you and then the pain rushes back as fresh as ever….
You Know What They Say: Cold Feet…
…put on some socks! I find myself lately having very cold feet. This in and of itself isn’t terribly weird; I’ve always had cold feet and hands. It’s not a circulation issue or anything, I apparently have excellent pulse in my feet, it’s just one of those things. For the months I was on Lupron…
March Tree
My March Tree is hot right now! Featuring beautiful blue aquamarine gemstone chips (the birthstone of March), it’s the perfect item for a lady with a March birthday. It’s also a lovely gift for a Mother of a March child as well! Each one is hand crafted from non-tarnish, sterling silver plated wire and made…
Happy Leap Day!
Couldn’t resist making an entry for today since it’s not often you get a “February 29th” date stamp on your blog. 😉 I really don’t have anything terribly interesting to actually post about; it’s just another Wednesday other than the once-every-four-years date. But since it is a once-every-four-years date, I’m making a post anyway. Hope…
