An early morning blog post including some adorable Barney-ness and some delicious foodie finds.
Today is my first day at ISU. Which means no more commute and oddly enough that I have to get up EARLIER than before to get to work. I was leaving Ames to get to Drake at 8:15ish but I have to be at work by 8 today. Let’s see how I do. Also, I’m [...]
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 …
Tuesday was my boss’s last day at Drake. *insert super sad face here*
She’s also pregnant — WITH TWINS! So we had a combination going-away-baby-shower party for her. I made chocolate covered strawberries. YUM.
One thing I learned from this round of chocolate covered strawberries (I’ve had less pretty ones created from previous batches):

Last week I wasn’t feeling very well, and especially not on Wednesday, so I called in sick. I didn’t realize that it was the same day that Twilight came out (barf), and my one coworker said “We all know why Calee’s not here today — she was up late at the midnight showing of Twilight.”

I just got done moving apartments, but I forgot to mention that I moved cubes at work. We recently staffed up, so we did some shifting. Here’s my new (and maybe temporary — we should be moving buildings this summer!) digs:

I’m moving this week and I started off by painting and cleaning my new place. I agreed to rent this place on one condition: I had to be able to paint. Previous owners had painted the kitchen two shades of BRIGHT ORANGE. Not sure how they were [...]
I so don’t have time to blog about this in its entirety, but for now — I’ve got to post pix at least! SOOOOO cool. I’ll share more about what this is about later, but I swapped crafts with my way cool crafty co-worker (who loves metal/punk/cool stuff) and here’s my bounty! I’ll separate it [...]
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, but when it rains, it pours.
I’ve been kind of complaining about money lately (really, who isn’t?). I’d taken out some extra flex dollars this year to pay for physical therapy, so my paychecks are $100 less each month. I also bought a car, which means I’ve got a [...]
I’m so excited about this!
My co-worker, Tory, asked me late this afternoon if I could possibly help her with her sister’s wedding shower invitations. She’d ordered 30 invitations from some bogus company (who shall remain nameless — honestly b/c I don’t remember the name!) and they never sent her a proof… let alone sent [...]
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.
