I’m jumping on the bandwagon and doing Ten on Tuesdays because it’s been so much fun reading all of yours (who have been participating, anyway!) It’s my day off tomorrow and I’ve spent tonight working out, doing dishes, jamming out to new music and am about to make some Black Bean Chili. Enjoy my first [...]
For the first time in pretty much my entire life, I am not going home for the holidays. There will be no trimming of my parent’s christmas tree, no frigid walks with the dogs, my dad and other members of my family after dinner, no pomegranate and champagne drinks, no fire in the fireplace in [...]
I found myself in the bookstore today after having a mid-afternoon bellini with Miss Talks Smack (a brilliant idea). I love bookstores, especially ones that are not Borders or Barnes and Nobles. Little bookstores with used books sections, little cafes and well, you know, BOOKS. My favorite bookstore in NYC was Strand and they had [...]
A lot has been happening lately in my life, some of which I’ve touched on, other’s that I have not. One thing that I’ve mentioned briefly in passing is that last thursday I had minor surgery. I wasn’t expecting this surgery; I knew I had an abscess, something I’ve had a couple times before and [...]
There’s this common knowledge that you have to be pretty exact with your measurements when it comes to baking. I’ve often heard people say they don’t like baking because you have to follow the recipe exactly or else it doesn’t come out right. It’s true, if you put too much of one ingredient in, or [...]
It’s amazing how writing about something will help your mood drastically. The funk I was in for the past week disappeared after writing that post, even after having to go under the knife for an icky procedure I’m pretty positive none of you want to hear about. I’m back to being in a good mood [...]
You know what’s easy to talk about? Sharing recipes, baking, how I sit on my sofa watching Buffy reruns all night and my art show (that is TOMORROW! Squeeee!). You know what’s not easy to talk about? The not so savory stuff that is going on in my life, in my head right now. Don’t [...]
The wind is howling away outside, it’s getting down to 31 degrees tonight and snow is in the forecast. Fall appears to have been spectacularly brief but beautiful here in Boulder. While I am no where near ready for winter and especially not for snow, I can’t help but feel a little more excited. Excited [...]
*…and how they have absolutely no relation to each other. I remember when weekends were filled with things like bars, drinking, picnics in the park, lazy mornings and pajamas. Now I wake up early, get ready for work, stand on my feet all day and then I come home, make dinner and watch reruns of [...]
A few of my fellow bloggers are participating in Grace in Small Things, a wonderful weekly series where you say what you’re happy for. I used to participate in this on my last blog but when things went downhill at my job, I just stopped doing it. I stopped looking for the beautiful and the [...]
