1. All Paper Zone locations are closing, and I’m really sad. A few months ago, I bought a LivingSocial voucher of $10 for $20 worth of stuff at Paper Zone, and we went to redeem it a few months ago but couldn’t find anything that we really wanted or needed at that particular moment in time.… [Read more…]

My collection of coloring books is growing – each one I get is better than the last. Coloring books and a set of great markers would be the best gift you could possibly give me- but don’t get me any that I already own! To prevent such a thing from happening, allow me to take… [Read more…]

Here’s my advice if you’d like to throw your own Iron Chef Party – and you should! It was SO much fun. Pick your opponent, choose a date, and craft your guest list! Obviously we had a built-in rivalry as roommates, but you should definitely make sure to battle against someone who you know is… [Read more…]

In other news, I am attempting to garden at my apartment. If you’ve been there, you know it’s going to be impossible because ours is the darkest unit. We have to get creative. It starts by starting the seeds inside (though all of this “planting” did in fact happen outside). We got this funny little… [Read more…]

Well, I did it. It was disgusting. It IS disgusting. But now the “fun” part begins. Deep cleaning. New broom. New indoor/outdoor door mats. Maybe I should even wax the floor… do people still do that? And how? Yet another one of those things my parents never taught me to do… that and ironing. I… [Read more…]

Dearest darling friends with tools and who can build things and want to help me, If you really loved me, you would help me build a U-shaped couch inspired by this one: To be adorned with fabulous pillows (I’ll make those too) and filled with all kinds of fun things: Because, as you can see, my… [Read more…]

No comment. Also, no real increase with two people in the apartment. It’s really our houseguests that are responsible for the increase in dirt.

This… now this, I think I can deal with. This seems almost reasonable, compared to days past – but still, it’s terrible. I left and returned twice, shoes off at the door. I unpacked our Full Circle Farm box, which always creates a bit of mess so that’s okay. But still. Like I’ve said before,… [Read more…]

I readily admit that this is a completely disgusting project. But, I would also suggest it to any elementary school student who needs a science fair project. So there. Yesterday I left the house and returned three times, but also had two guests over for pizza and Mario time. (I was slightly concerned that I’d… [Read more…]

The accumulation of a day’s dirt in my apartment. I left and re-entered the house four times during the day, each time making SURE to take off my shoes. Also of note: there’s a piece of plastic wrap from the new phone I bought in there, as well as a piece of a Caramello wrapper,… [Read more…]

I am continually astounded by the amount of dirt that I sweep up off our hardwood floors in our apartment every single day. Where does it come from? I simply have to know. We are two people, each entering and exiting the house 4-6 times per day. At least 50% of the time, we take… [Read more…]

Dearest darling friends, I don’t know why I do things like this to myself. I pick a project and I must complete it THAT SAME DAY or else I will die. Well, I guess that’s a little extreme, but I knew that I wasn’t going to sleep until I’d made myself a new headboard. Yes,… [Read more…]
