But look at it! It has wheels! And arm rests! And padding! Still no? Ok, well, let me show you what I [...]

My first sewing endeavor since the 7th grade when I made monkey whose head rotated around. It took me two hours and one  movie about pants, but with a bit of roommate help I’ve got some cozy new pajama pants. This past week of snow has been rather productive though. I’ve made pretzels, white bread, [...]

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!

Snowverkill? Snowmaggedon? Snowpocalypse? In case you hadn’t heard, we’re getting a bit of snow around here. We’ve been housebound for the better part of a week with a brief respite on Tuesday, but the winds continue to howl, the snow continues to fall, and the hysteria continues to be…hysterical. No work means more time for [...]

I can’t believe it took this long…

Ok Maryland, what the heck?? Actually, let’s extend this to the entire Baltimore-Washington Metro area. Yes, DC, Virginia, this is directed at you guys too. I deal with the slow driving in the left hand lane. I deal with the lack of use of directionals (blinkers, tickers, turn signals, whatever). I deal with the incessant [...]

Oatmeal Cream Pies

So I was wandering through Walmart the other day and as I walked down the snack aisle, something caught my eye. Oatmeal cream pies. When I was little, my mom used to tuck one into my lunch and man, were those things good. Remember all those Little Debbie snacks? Fudge rounds? Cosmic brownies? Those rice [...]

A while back I wrote about running the Baltimore 10 Miler and how I was running for the a cause called Back On My Feet. I was hoping to raise $250 for them. Well, I’m glad to say, not only did I make it the full 10 miles, but I exceeded my fundraising goal and [...]
