    You guys. I am so proud of myself. I completed a project. Like … totally finished something. And it’s not terrible! For my first major DIY project in … years? This little dresser-turned-gardening-storage isn’t too shabby a job. It’s not the sturdiest little thing – two of the remaining three doors are a little fragile…

  • 29 day challenge: friends, day 5: in which I have a least favorite recurring character …

    In light of what’s going on right now, I actually find my choice of least favorite recurring character to be appropriate, but before I get into my reasoning here, I want to say this: Aisha Tyler is probably one of my all-time favorite celebrities. She’s funny, nerdy, talented, and opinionated, and she seems to enjoy…

  • 29 day challenge: friends, day 4: in which I have a favorite recurring character …

    Sorry this is a bit late today, but what with the state of the world, I’m pretty sure you’ll forgive me. I mean, this is a Friends challenge, so it’s not like it’s the most important part of your day. As a reminder: take care of yourself today, even if it’s just a little gesture,…

  • 29 day challenge: friends, day 3: in which I have a least favorite main character …

    I know that the popular thing now is to hate Ross Geller. And I get it: he’s whiny, possessive, insensitive, and every single one of the negative attributes that have tacked onto him like he’s a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-jackass. But honestly? That’s not the reason he’s my least favorite character on Friends.

  • 29 day challenge: friends, day 2: in which I have a favorite main character …

    It should not come as any surprise to any one who knows me, even in a very superficial sense, that my favorite Friends character is Phoebe Buffay. Seriously, she’s the absolute best, and there is no way anyone could convince me otherwise. While the rest of the cast seemed to be reduced to caricatures by…

  • 29 day friends challenge, day 1: in which I was introduced to friends …

    I was only 9 or 10 when Friends first came on the air, and honestly, I wasn’t really allowed to watch it. Well, I’m not 100% sure about that because I never asked, but based on the fact that everyone was having lots of premarital sex, starting with the very first episode, I’m fairly certain…

    I know I had mentioned this project of mine at least a week ago, although it could be longer, seeing as time has no meaning, but anyway, I actually completed a project of mine! From start to finish! Thanks, Nick Offerman! There was this old yellow dresser that almost literally fell apart when I tried…

    on rotation

    As I promised last week – I guess I’m doing on rotation … on Wednesdays now? – I going with some hidden gems, or as I like to call them, deep cuts from the days of my youth. Some of these you may remember, while others may be just as obscure as they were then.…

    I just recently finished listening to the audiobook version of Nick Offerman’s Paddle Your Own Canoe (which I called Build Your Own Canoe for at least a week before realizing my mistake) and discovered something truly horrible about myself: I suck royally at follow-through.  Like … I really suck at it.

    So, in our house, my sister and I have this little reading “nook*” by the doors leading out to the deck, an idea I had after moving the little dresser that had been there for years. It’s not much at the moment, but it’s a comfy seat to wait for the dogs to come back…
