The Talking Heads have a song about Heaven being a place where nothing, nothing ever happens. While that sounds appealing, I just wish that I would remember not to take on so many projects at once.

The thing about wanting to be organized and having limited amounts of time is that sometimes, it is just easier to shove all the shit you don’t want to look at somewhere else. Most of the time when people come over to my house, they comment on the fact that it is sort of orderly [...]

Well, in the time since I have last written, I have been to Ikea twice, and Home Depot, uh, a lot. Nothing warms your heart like a two year old getting excited to go to Home Depot. Any time in the last three days we have seen any thing orange colored out in the world, [...]

Sorry I have been absent as of late. I have been glued to my Ikea catalog and their website. When I haven’t been measuring and drawing, I’ve been on flickr looking at house p0rn. To say I am obsessed might be an understatement. Have no fear, friends, I am just nesting! You have to read [...]
