My friend Matt found this really odd personality test while stumbling online the other day. There are no language cues. Just weird shapes. You have to pick A or B on all of them. And it’s so weird because all three of my friends that took it had analysis that pretty much fit them to [...]
I just spent all of last week MOVING. Again. I know.
The house I was living in sold, so I was given 30 days to skedaddle. Moved in with my boyfriend and his roommate (who I was planning on moving in with ANYWAY come August) and now we have a pretty sweet setup.
I’m not [...]
My friend Meredith recently made a trip to Iowa from Texas for work and we went out for dinner with a couple of our other girlfriends and hopped over to Borders.
There we found two of the most amazing books. Ever.
Because regular Pirates aren’t that popular anymore.
I love when I find out that a band that has broken up, been defunct or has otherwise just not been around is releasing an album. Bright Eyes is going back to his old sound (so no folk, folks) and releasing a new album called The People’s Key on February 15. YAY!
I’m not going to do a year in review like so many other people have done. Instead, I’ll tell you what I’m looking forward to in 2011.
Chicago Bears in the playoffs Being in one of my best girlfriend’s weddings Maybe moving somewhere new (in Ames) with a new roommate (or two) — hopefully somewhere [...]
I realized I’ve not blogged lately. Which is weird. But I have been SUPER busy.
I’ve been crafting up Christmas presents — for my friends and for those who’ve purchased crafty items from my etsy store for the holidays. I’ve been spending the past several days filling a pretty large order of [...]
Today at work I was building centerpieces and had to figure out how to create a centerpiece that was cylindrical, but travels flat and can be weighted so it stays on tables at outdoor events.
Long story short, I had to use pi. YES. Pi.
So I was talking to my beau, who is an [...]
My friend Kelly recently asked a question on her blog —do you agree with the following?
Love is not an emotion, it is a decision.
– @erinscreen (via twitter)
My answer? I think it’s both.
Love starts out as an emotion and turns into a decision. You’re initially attracted to somebody and [...]
… that I only have a 2-day work week!
I may or may not have obviously failed miserably on the NaBloPoMo (national blog posting month) promise I made. Whoops. Sorry. But I’m sure that you were glad to not have to read random filler-type posts.
However, on that note, I think I’m [...]
I’ve been meaning to share these guys with you for a LONG time but I’ve had such a hard time finding any video with good quality. SO I’m sending you away from my blog to go check out The Detachment Kit …
I was introduced to the Dkit in 2005 when they played with Local [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
