I forgot to mention yesterday that Mark bought a grill over the weekend.
Okay. I might have lied about the “forgetting to mention” just there. If you didn’t notice the expiration date on the yogurt from yesterday … you probably didn’t know that I pre-scheduled that post. I knew I’d be too busy to [...]
Oh hi there, it’s March. I maybe might have forgotten to post about the amazingly delicious cookies that I made in February. I’m planning to make some chimesmonster cookies for March and table the winner of the last poll until April. Those cookies are so damn good.

I [...]
She’s gettin’ a tattoo yeah, she’s gettin’ ink done.

Anyway, I posted a while back about beautiful body art, and I’m excited to say that I’m now the proud owner of some. I’m going back to get a couple of things added and a little touchup work with [...]
I’ve been working through my fabric scraps and I came across the Heather Ross Mendocino scraps that Adria had given me a while back. She had leftovers after making a really cool mendocino quilt.
Here are a few of my favorite ones … They’re 5″x6″

Read: yay! A short entry!
So now that i’m well on my way to recovery, I finally made myself go out and buy swimming gear and go for a dip.
