Can we just talk about how my newly formed and wholly consuming love for the chiropractic arts?
I’m one of those people—please tell me it’s not just me—who manage to hurt themselves in the most ridiculously mundane ways possible. Not the ones who contract rare subtropical diseases when stranded in remote areas after parachute malfunctions, or [...]
Just in time (barely) for Valentine’s, I thought I would pass along my Official Ballad Singalong Playlist. Okay, so technically, not a large percentage of them are actually ballads, but they are all ridiculously sentimental and great for singing.
“Always On My Mind”—Willie Nelson
“As Long As You Love Me”—Backstreet Boys
“Can’t Help Falling In Love”—Ingrid Michaelson
“(Everything I [...]
Among other things:
I knitted this thing! And it only took me a month! I’m especially proud of it because I only used a pattern to figure out how to do the knotted cables in the middle. The rest is all me. Stephan helped me decide what to do and I got the fancier-than-normal yarn 50% [...]
New Year’s resolutions and I don’t really get on. The problem with resolving to do something every day, forever, is that a) it’s quite daunting, and b) as soon as you break the resolution, which, let’s face it, is going to happen sooner or later, you throw in the towel completely since the possibility of [...]
Stephan and I have been vegan(ish) for a few years now. It’s only “ish” because while we are 98% vegan at home (you would not believe the things they slip whey powder into over here!), we don’t try as hard when we’re out. This is because a) it is a giant pain and b) we [...]
Some of the most important things I know, I’ve learned through song.
Things like:
a) all 50 states in alphabetical order (“fifty nifty United States from 13 original colonies)
b) the 10 Commandments, King James Version, verbatim (required for a high school religion class [not the song, just the verbatim part])
c) who told the elements where to go [...]
I knew that one trip to the Maui Walmart and the wise tutelage of Ms. Lori would come in handy one day. Introducing the only way I can leave the house:
At least if I want to wear any kind of shoe, which my personal feet and most places of business (presumably) encourage.
Okay, so here’s the thing: I hate historical reenactments. HATE. With a hatred that is both profound and unwavering. It was not until the Big Move To A Country With Lots Of Historical Stuff That I Have To Go Visit, however, that I was able to identify why.
It’s because I’m embarrassed on behalf of the [...]
Happy Day After Valentine’s, Internets! We had a lovely Valentine’s, which included strawberries that came from the grocery store in a little heart-shaped container and watching Garden State. Not the warmest and fuzziest romance we could have watched, but better than our other option, Kill Bill. But this is all beside the points, which are [...]
As stolen from the meme going around Facebook: “Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.”:
1. I’m thinking about getting some chickens so I have something to nurture.
2. Sometimes I try to read fiction, but I don’t usually like it.
3. I suck [...]
