Love the Moment

2009-04-06T14:29:26Z

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Usually mine tend to go by really slow, but this particular weekend seemed very long - probably because I was so busy. I managed to: * Packaged and mailed 3 origami jar orders * Went grocery shopping * Made my ...

SXSW 2009 Recap

2009-03-23T00:19:26Z

Everyone I know told me I would have an amazing time at SXSW, and they were 100% right. I'm completely exhausted, but it was all worth it - I learned a lot, was inspired, and best of all, met a lot of great people. I won't do my usually play-by-...

Books? What are those?

2009-02-24T18:46:03Z

I stole this from Mallory... :) Apparently the BBC reckons that most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Copy and paste - put an X next to the ones you have read. I've read 23, which is roughly 25%. Not too bad considering I rea...

Shopping Green

2009-02-19T16:22:40Z

As part of my New Years resolutions to become greener, I vowed to start using reusable shopping bags. When I was in Vegas visiting my sister last month I mentioned that I was still looking for some cute bags, so we set off on a mission to find som...

Johnny Cupcakes

2008-12-05T19:23:04Z

Wednesday after work I drove up to CSU to meet Steve for dinner before we went to go see Johnny Cupcakes speak. I don’t actually own any JC t-shirts, because, well, $40 for a shirt is a lot of money. But I love his designs (cupcakes, obviously) a...

Holiday Giving

2008-11-26T19:07:28Z

As I did not make good on my New Years resolution to donate time and/or money to a charity/non-profit each month, I've decided that all purchases made at my Etsy shop during the month of December will be donated to a charity of your choice (minus ...

Turkey Day Plans

2008-11-26T18:59:13Z

Not much happening here lately. Today is the last day of a short 3-day workweek, which I'm grateful for. Work has started to finally pick up again, so I was uber busy yesterday. I even worked through lunch in hopes that I could leave early today. ...

Genetic Gifts

2008-11-24T22:35:10Z

Yesterday I was having a conversation with my dad regarding his genetic gift to me. Me: I need to dye my hair tonight, I'm getting too many gray hairs. Why oh why did you have to go full gray in your 20's? Dad: And just think, with all the medica...

I'm in Car Hell

2008-11-23T23:52:32Z

This is the ad I posted on Craigslist yesterday: I am selling a 1999 Honda Civic in silver. It has 77,800 miles on it. The car still runs but I was told it was NOT SAFE to drive due to a 48 inch crack in the frame (front passenger side). I do n...

Musings of Late

2008-11-21T21:51:20Z

The last week or so has been really strange. Those who know me in real life know that I'm a girl who loves to sleep and eat, but I haven't been doing much of either as of late. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the shock of living with my parent...
