I think I forgot to mention that I decorated a little bit. Mostly our room. Check it out!
The table in the corner used to be primary blue and red, from when Mark was little, and apparently was Mark’s mom’s furniture when she was younger too. I spray painted it an [...]
Last month was crazy. Here is a sneak peek at things that happened before I get to blogging about them …
… Mark’s brother Nick’s birthday in Stillwater …
… Mark’s 25th birthday in Chicago …
… awesome new fabric …
the week of sheer hell that i’ve lived through.
9:30 AM last wednesday I got a text from my sister asking me to call her ASAP. I thought my grandma had died. I was ready for that.
Not for this.
It was about our 20-year old cousin, who grew up and still lived across the [...]
I just spent the best 7 dollars I’ve spent in a long time. I bought Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros album, Up from Below. Of course, I’ve been digging some of their songs on The Current for the last several months. But it was the song “Home” that did it for [...]
I’ve decided to steal a pun we came up with at work and use it on my blog. Wonder-Bred. It makes sense.
Anyway, it’s another installment of Wonder-Bred Italian Boy ™ Cooks. Again — he came up with the idea and I executed. It was my turn to cook since he made an awesome pizza [...]
It’s been a while since I made anything, so I decided to make a few things last night.
I haven’t had much of a chance to unpack since the move, and thus, not much of a chance to decorate. I bought some vintage (or at least used) frames from Salvation Army [...]
It’s weird when all your belongings are moved out of a space that you used to call your own. It’s just … empty. A shell.
I was sitting in my empty apartment waiting to get checked out when it hit me that I wasn’t in my home anymore. Then I got [...]
Barney moved in with me (finally) on Saturday and he’s settled in pretty well …
… as you can see, he’s pretty tired from the move.
Well, not really, but we did go to the townie bar. Well, they’re all townie bars I guess.
I took Mark home last week to meet my family and my friends. My family loved him (I mean, what’s not to love?) and my friends did as well. We went to the Eagles Club where my [...]
Today was a very exciting day for a few reasons.
1) I finally got internet/cable. I’ll be damned if I can figure out how to hook up the cable with all my gadgets (Wii and DVD player). I’m sure I could figure it out…except I’d have to be able to see what was going on [...]

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.
