Apparently I’m a Plant Murderer, So That’s Nice…
I was never much of a plant person. Not until last summer, anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Mother Nature and am a huge fan of the outdoors, but when it came to looking after indoor plants I just didn’t think I had it in me. Kelsie started adopting and …

An Inky Situation: How to Fix Ruined Pants
How do you get over the loss of a beloved pair of pants, one that has been thwarted by the nefarious art supply under the name of “Pen Ink”? I guess the better question is this: have you ever loved a pair of pants? I don’t just mean love how …
Back to Blonde: Why I Will Never Be Satisfied with My Hair
As a human being with a semi-functional brain and “normal” emotions, I’ve come to realize that, no matter how I do it, I will never be satisfied with my hair. Believe me, I have experimented with it almost obsessively. I’ve cut it short and let the top grow to an …

Milky Whites: Buttcoats
It’s the middle of winter and if you are like me you will agree when I say that all this dressing warm is getting a bit tedious. Layers, layers, layers. I feel as if it has been tattooed into my mind (speaking of mind tattoos, I suspect those will be …
