Reduce. Reuse. Refinish. Reduce the presence of furniture. Find a tiny desk. Something that’s just exactly the right size for you. No extra space to act as a gathering spot for crap. Reuse an old desk! Check out yard sales, charity shops, kijiji/craigslist, your parents’ basement, anywhere you can find old furniture. Often times buying used is cheaper, plus it’s environmentally friendly! Refinish your new old … Continue reading Three Rs of DIY

The classic ‘90s romantic comedy film Pretty Woman recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of its release in theatres on March 23, 1990. (Okay, not that recently, but would you believe I started writing this post three months ago?) I decided that, in light of this special occasion, I’d re-watch the movie. I can’t even remember the last time I watched it. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Me & Pretty Woman
The internet is going crazy over new photos of Jennifer Lawrence with her bodyguard, Handsome McGingham-shirt (real name Greg Lenz). And I’m on board. He seems like a catch: he carries your dogs, your bags, and he’d probably carry you over a large puddle if need be. But the best and least talked about thing of this whole hype is that in one of these pictures … Continue reading The Bodyguard
10. … Nope, never mind. There’s nothing worse. And Mrs Stannis, you suck, too. Don’t think you redeemed yourself at all with your last minute maybe-I-should-do-something, half-assed, non-attempt to not be in the running for the worst human ever award. F U, GoT. Continue reading 10 Things Worse than what Stannis did in Last Week’s Game of Thrones.
It’s Monday, which means the weekend’s over and you’re probably a little bummed about it. But don’t worry, have a drink! Continue reading Bottom’s Up!
Whoa! It’s been WAY too long since I wrote a blog post. I’m ashamed. I’d love to tell you about all the amazing things I’ve been doing the last few months that have prevented me from blogging, but I think we all know that it would be an embarrassingly short list. Something I have been doing, though, is starting a blog about dogs waiting patiently. Because … Continue reading Dogs Waiting Patiently
Along an icy winter sidewalk, edged by snow banks on either side, a little girl, walking with her mother and brother, slips and falls. Her equally little brother looks at her and says “Walk it off! Walk it off!” He offers his hand, she refuses. She stands up wearily but is still visually upset by the tumble. This time her bother says, “Shake it off!” And when … Continue reading A Winter Scene
I was lying in bed this morning being the very embodiment of a lazy Sunday when I saw a picture of pancakes online. I knew I wouldn’t be satisfied until I was eating my own pancakes. So, I got myself out of bed and made some. Actually I made about 20 pancakes. I find I am crossed with the same issue every time I make pancakes from scratch: too … Continue reading The Pancake Paradox
I went to a Superbowl party fully expecting to eat all the snacks and watch none of the game. I did of course intend to watch the halftime show, because like everyone else who doesn’t watch football but watches the Superbowl, the halftime show is the big draw. Katy Perry was AWESOME! Her singing was on point, costumes changes were like magic (How did she … Continue reading More Sharks Please
