My local team is still in the playoffs, so there has been a lot of football being watched at my place. I'm actually watching the commercials, and even remembering what company they were for, because they have been incredibly clever. We are talking Superbowl ad type of quality. There was a great tax preparation ad,… Continue reading Superstitious

Random Stuff catches my fancy. I hope it can make you smile.
Sick and Quiet
I have spent seven weeks cycling through symptoms: sore throat that builds to feeling like I'm swallowing glass shards; a nose running like a fountain; and a splitting sinus headache with so much pressure it feels like my eye will pop out. No fun at all. Initially I thought all of this was allergies, but… Continue reading Sick and Quiet
Slowly Crafting
A little over a year ago, I saw a blurb in Mother Earth News about creating a rag rug. When I followed through on the link, it was talking about using leftover woolen clothes to create durable floor mats. Well, this Southern California girl doesn't do wool: it's itchy, and more importantly it needs dry… Continue reading Slowly Crafting
Halloween Costume
Several months ago I got an idea for a Halloween costume. I saw a picture of it somewhere (which of course I forgot to save), and decided what I wanted to be: A Christmas tree! I spent several weeks trying to find a dark green top that would work. In my head it was going… Continue reading Halloween Costume
Something Rotten
Before I left England to return to the US, I embarked on a ten-day Scandinavian adventure. I've already discussed the second leg of that trip, with the hostel experience in Stockholm, the most beautiful city in the world. From there, I took a train Copenhagen. This was the half-way point of my trip. Travelling in… Continue reading Something Rotten
Moon Beams
One of the many nice things about having my own blog is I can try out new things (look at me being Adventure Girl!). For the last few months I've had the same idea for a post, and I want to try out a new narration style. Thanks for your patience as I stretch my… Continue reading Moon Beams
Differing Priorities
Roughly once a quarter, I go out to breakfast with one of my neighbors who is also a great friend. It's a great way for us to catch up, and I always look forward to those outings. Our recent breakfast reminded me of one of our ongoing jokes and just how different we are as… Continue reading Differing Priorities
Not a Drop
Anyone who has ever read this blog more than once knows that I'm a planner. I have blog posts already scheduled out for months ahead. That is not to say that the calendar is full: I simply have certain blogs that are date specific or are spread out so I don't cover the same topic… Continue reading Not a Drop
Truth versus Trust
Somehow I managed to never see an episode of Dr. Who until two years ago. I’d never even heard of The Doctor until I lived in England, and I’m not sure how I missed watching the show then with the Dr. Who Omnibus showing up all the time on the telly listings. My first doctor… Continue reading Truth versus Trust
The Confessional – Guilty Pleasures Edition
I haven't stepped into the confessional on this blog in a while, so I figured it was about time. It's good for the soul, right? Although I refuse to pay for cable, I still watch television. That is not the secret since I've mentioned it before (including buying an antennae to watch football). What has… Continue reading The Confessional – Guilty Pleasures Edition
