I am in love

I know that I have discussed here about my never ending dying love for looking at houses online. I live in a home that was built in 1895. 1895! It is a lovely home, and for someone with time and interest, a total fixer upper into amazing-ville. It’s got warts though darling, things I won’t [...]

My skull is a lovely empty place

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. While nothing ever happening sounds boring, just one thing happening sounds lovely. Right now we are living in a [...]

I have a disease, a horrible disease

It’s called pack-ratitis. It is in no way related to ret-packitis which is a love for all things Deano & Frankie. No, this is a sick sick sickness that lead me to hold onto everything that my hot lottle hands have ever caressed. Including and not limited to: Furniture, films, books, clothes, tchotchkes, and rugs. [...]

You are so jealous of my weekend plans, I’m sure.

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 [...]

The Study

This room has gone through many changes since we moved in just three years ago. It started with a giant table in the middle of the room which housed our computers, but as Sadie grew we had to change the layout. We eventually pushed our desk into the corner to make room for a dance [...]

Compulsion

com·pul·sion • /kəmˈpʌl ʃən/ – [kuhm-puhl-shuh n] -noun: An irresistible impulse to act, regardless of the rationality of the motivation. (source: American Heritage Dictionary) I would seek help, but I am almost finished. In the past three weeks I have painted, moved furniture (well, Brett did ’cause I am all knocked up and stuff), and [...]

Still here, and still nessssttttiiiinnnggg!

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, [...]

True tales of pregnancy: Part Two

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 [...]

What begins with O?

Organization! Today while Sadie was napping, I probably should have been too, instead I was staring at the wall. At first it was just for like, staring into space, letting my eyes cross, drooling, in a eh – duh, kind of way. After a little while (who am I kidding? It was a long while. [...]
