    I Fibbed*

    (via: http://www.tvworthwatching.com/werts/white%20christmas%20tv.jpg) Remember that time when I told you that Christmasy things weren’t going to happen in my house until December first? How I was going to wait this year? Well, I made it to November 19th. (which really is like an insane record for me as I have begun listening to Christmas music in August in past years. I like Christmas. Don’t judge.) And really, it wasn’t even really my fault. I had had a really crazy stressful week, felt like a terrible sister for bailing on a road trip I was supposed to go on and I needed a little Christmas to make things better. So, after a…

    Shop Girl Shares the state that i am in & Kinetic Wave Scuptures*

    So let’s pretend that today is MONDAY and not Tuesday and that I’m not a day late with my Shop Girl Shares post, okay? Okay. :) Last night I was exhausted after volunteering all morning, coming home to have to quickly do laundry & clean my house before rushing off to work and closing the store and I had a total I’m-so-tired-my-life-is-so-hard-poor-me night. I don’t even like being around myself when that happens, so I went to bed instead of posting. Sorry loves. BUT, I’m here today! 1 – the state that i am in (via: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2778/4021841653_eed90cbe6b_o.jpg) Meet Erin, an early childhood special education teacher / fabulous blogger (who was…

    Let’s Whine About Swine*

    (via: http://blogs.poz.com/shawn/swine-flu-patient-zero.jpg) You know, I had absolutely no idea how to begin this post. I wrote the title, then sat here and stared at a blank screen for nearly 15 minutes before giving up and saving the entry (aka: nothing). I opened it again today to try and write it, but I couldn’t think of a creative way to begin an entry about a subject that has been completely monopolizing the media for months on end. Swine flu this, H1N1 that. We always seem to follow the same cycle: people get sick, the media splashes it all over every format possible, we panic, life goes on, we forget. Repeat for…

    Wanna Win Some Ugg Boots?

    I don’t know about you, but I kinda sorta love free stuff. Really. I kid you not. I don’t always have the best luck with competitions, but I always enter them because I find them kind of exciting and I figure that one day my luck’s gotta change, right? Right? Exactly. Wanna know what else I love? SHOES. I know that’s probably a bit of a surprise, but I thought I’d put it out there anyway. (riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.) I love shoes. One might even say that I heart them. So wanna know what I think is just TOTALLY awesome? Let’s do some math: Contest + free shoes = FABULOUS. Because I…

    Shop Girl Shares Belle Renee & People of Public Transit*

    I’ve come to love Mondays. Seriously. It’s true. I love sharing new things with people. It makes me sound like such a geek, but when I find something that I love or that makes me happy (which probably means I love it, let’s be honest…) I get so excited that I have to share it and want other people to love it too. I do this with evvvvverything in my life… if I find a good song, sale, TV show, book, restaurant, etc–I immediately tell everyone I know. I like sharing. Sharing is good. The past two weeks have just been really off weeks for me… ever have those? I…
