Complaining about something*

Under Construction*
I have spent the entire weekend fighting with my blog. Here’s the scoop–I’m bored. I’ve changed my background / template several times in the past year because I still haven’t found one that I feel is really… me. I would love to have one custom made, but I’m poor and not working and probably can’t afford it. Sooo… I have been trying to find a semi-decent free one that can tide me over until then. I found one that I thought was kinda cute, but it has been driving me nuts since I put it on. Sometimes the images work, sometimes they don’t. They appear to be working today when…

I Shouldn’t Be A Carpenter*
Sooo I decided to take the weekend off from writing and relax a bit. (by relax I mean have an insanely busy / productive day on Saturday and a fabulously busy day on Sunday) Saturday the Hubster’s dad came for some manual labour a visit and rescued my kitchen. In our old apartment there was this perfect little microwave nook that didn’t take away from my counter space. I love counters. I love to use unnecessary amounts of counter space when I cook because I feel it is the right thing to do. It makes me feel chef-ish. Big mess = great food, right? Right? (I don’t always make a…

The Dreaded Downsize*
(Ignore the alcohol box… we are not boozers! I swear!) Anyone want to come and unpack my apartment for me? Anyone? Anyone? One of the worst aspects of this whole moving thing is that not every apartment is the same layout. Our last apartment was very open-concept. One huge living room, one huge bedroom and a decent size bathroom and kitchen. All of the furniture we have fit well into this open-concept space. A lot of it is quite big (the hutch, shelves, wardrobe, etc) so finding spaces for it in our new place has been… interesting. It’s like a tetris game. “Well, this piece will fit here if I…

Daylight Savings Crime*
I have officially fallen off the bandwagon. I have missed posting two days this month. *hangs head in shame* I have decided to blame it on daylight savings time. After all, something needs to be at fault for that, and it couldn’t possibly be me. Nope. No way, hosée. Somehow this pushing forward of time has affected my whole daytime pattern and I no like it. On some basic level I understand the concept of the “springing forward”, but I haaaaaate losing the light in the morning. I’d much rather keep my sunshine at 7am and enjoy the dusk at 6pm. Last week it was sooo nice having daylight shine…

Sleep Inducing Hot Chocolate*
I have a confession: I don’t eat chocolate, but sometimes I drink it. It’s been flipping cold here lately (it was a balmy -27°C here this morning) and I enjoy a hot chocolate from time to time to warm my soul. I try not to drink caffeine, so tea and coffee are out and I’m limited in my “hot drink” options on a cold day. That being said, I think my hot chocolate has been laced with sedatives. I am a late-night lesson planner. I typically don’t really get going with my plans until 9:30 or 10pm (can you guess what I am procrastinating right now? haha). I usually get…
