Cleaning, Stencils, Being Mad, Cleaning

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Really, if I had wanted stunning before and after pictures, I should have taken pictures of the apartment before and after cleaning it. I thought about it, but decided not to, because after all, you all don’t really have […]

Reality Is a Tenuous Thing

Oh God.
You carry a child in your body, birth it, and you are so happy if the child is healthy. The thing is, it’s too soon to sigh with relief and relax.
Your child could go on to develop schizophrenia. Perhaps your child triggered it himself, through the use of various and sundry hallucinagins, […]

Blogs, Cats, Kids, Prisoners…

There’s certainly been a lot going on lately. The moving, the painting, installing, etc. is definitely keeping me busy. And, I am still blogging. I just sold Bloggrrl, bringing the total I’ve made off of that blog to about 4K. I’ve made an additional three thousand or so more doing paid posts on my […]

Chillin’ in the New House

BEFORE

AFTER

This may not seem like a big deal, but I am so proud because I installed the air conditioner by myself! Well, Sky helped me lift it into the window, but I took out the old one and got this one set up. I decided not to install central heat and air because 1) […]

Why Can’t Houses Just Have Dirt Floors?

We’ve made things too complicated in this country. At least, it is for those of us who like the “natural look.”
The first challenge was finding a house that was made out of things like real wood and glass. Done. It has hardwood floors. Kinda.
Most of the floors are beautiful. However, there is carpet […]

Why I Keep Blogging

Margaret was talking the other day about how sad it is when blog friends drop out of our lives. I’ve certainly experienced the same. But a few of you are still here, and right now in particular, that means the world to me.
You see, there really isn’t anyone I can talk to about what […]

Tripping the Light Not So Fantastic

Oh man.
I called up Sky to see if he was ready to go out to eat, and he asked me if he could come over instead. He sounded bad on the phone, and I got really worried. When I got there to pick him up, he was a mess. Turns out he took 6 […]

A Post With No Photos

I’ll tell ya what, something that can really take the fun out of blogging is doing those paid posts. I’ve made almost $4000 at this point, which has helped considerably, but I miss my hobby! I’m not even sure where my camera is right now!
I suppose it doesn’t matter where my camera is, because […]

Sage’s Birthday

We just had a quiet celebration at home with G., Sky, my parents and my brother. The friend who Sage was going to have spend the night didn’t show up because it turned out his dad was in town, and apparently the man microcontrols everyone’s life and wouldn’t let his son come. The kid’s mom […]

Looks Like This Is The One

I’m getting a house. We should close on it March 31st. Pictures first, details next.
I didn’t think to take a pic of the outside of the house, so here’s one from the realtor’s site.

Here’s a partial view of the living room.

My favorite room is the kitchen. I love the colors, and check […]
