Yesterday morning, it occurred to me that I had not washed my hair in over a week. A few years ago, I religiously washed my hair every other day. Sometimes every day, but every other at the least. Day one, my hair could be worn down. But day two, it was so greasy, I had [...]

Hippie Hair, Hippie Other Things
January 17, 2012Head X-Rays
January 3, 2012Oh, hello there. Before you get too excited about the title, I’m fine. But the following is my first story of ridiculosity for the new year. Yay, 2012! Also, the photo above is an old photo at a different barn with a different horse, but that’s what I’ve got, friends, that’s what I’ve got. Oh, [...]
House Projects that May or May Not Happen in 2012
January 1, 2012I think it was on Christmas Eve, when someone asked me if I still had this blog, as I originally started it to document the fixing-upping of my house. They assumed that since there were no major house projects happening, the blog must be done. My mom was there, too. And she replied: “Well, now [...]
The Ghettoest House in the Ghetto
December 30, 2011My neighborhood is… how do you say…. transitional. That is my fancy word for “kinda ghetto.” We have our occasional drive by shooting, car jacking, and assorted gang related graffiti. But today is a special day, because today I am the most ghetto house in the neighborhood, and keep in mind that my next door [...]
Genius: Lights
December 29, 2011Oh, also? You know who has a genius system for storing Christmas tree lights? I do. Each strand of lights gets wrapped around something cardboardey. Ideally, the lid to a shirt-sized box. Less ideally, but equally workable, a file folder. The whole deal gets shoved into a plastic bag and stored. And who has two [...]
Why Do I Even Try?
December 28, 2011My persimmon tree has left me with a ton of persimmons. Now, I hate to tell you this, and I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t like persimmons that much. However, I also don’t like waste, and so I’m trying to use them up. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of “spice” flavored things…. anything [...]
Yard Tidying
November 20, 2011Yesterday before it started raining, I did some minor cleaning up in the yard. I’m happy it is officially winter now, so I can wear my preferred winter gardening ensemble: rainboots, leggings, and puffy vest. As usual, I like to keep it classy in the backyard. Another reason I like winter gardening (besides the outfit) [...]
Officially Fall in the Garden
September 25, 2011Yesterday and today I did a little bit of work in the garden. Things are dying down (literally) so I pulled out a few more tomato plants, finally took down the dead corn stalks and sunflowers, and did a lot of general clean up. Here’s what I have to show for it: The ornamental corn. [...]
Through and Through
August 28, 2011Saturday I learned a new phrase: “through and through.” Apparently, “through and through” refers to a bullet that goes right in to a person, and then comes right out. How did I learn this phrase, you might ask? And why are there police officers on my lawn and yellow tape across my driveway? Well, [...]
In Which I Catch a Swarm of Bees. In My Work Shoes.
August 18, 2011This has been a somewhat shiteous work week. Yesterday, at the peak of crapdom, one of my coworkers came by and said: “Hey, let me show you something outside.” I thought he was just humoring me and dragging me out of the office before I committed a violent act, but no! (well, maybe that, too) [...]
