This video made me cry because Caine is so brave at 11 years old. The world needs more kids like him and a whole lot less bullies. I saw this video yesterday of Smeagol’s take on “Empire State Of Mind” and it totally made my morning. HIs facial expressions are priceless. I can relate to Lindasy Joy’s Anxiety Series so much! Especially the phone one. I really only like talking on the phone to my …
Lofty Changes
Anyone who has ever been to our loft more than once knows that it’s constantly changing. Always evolving. Here are some of the recently changes that have been made. Chad has been a busy bee lately. When Chad gets a hankering to do an overhaul, he goes all the way. He took the pipes that were used in our shoe rack and coat rail and made us this funky new DIY coat hanger that’s attached …
Wishlist Wednesday ~ Matilda
The Mod Matilda Ring is just too adorable for words! I’m not sure I should have it as I’d probably be gazing at how cute it is instead of doing my work. I love the print on Nikki’s Lifestyle Aquatic Dress. Here fishy fishy! Oh goodness, I am a ticket stub hoarder so I think I have to get the Ticket Stub Diary to keep them all together. It’d be great for remembering those great …
Currently
Currently, I am… Reading: Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. Yup, still on my King kick. If you have any good books to recommend for my summer reading, please share! I’m always looking for something new to whet my literary appetite. Watching: Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as I mentioned yesterday. We’re also on Season 2 of The X-Files, but Chad’s getting a little bored with it. I’m still interested though! Watching it …
Weekend in Review ~ Buffy
The crappy weather called for a Buffy marathon this weekend. Starting the weekend off right with a smoothie for breakfast. It’s 1 banana, 1/3 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup raspberries, 1/3 plain Amande yogurt, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 tsp hemp oil and 1 tsp maple syrup. Morgan joined me to watch an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think I watched 9 episodes altogether over Saturday and Sunday, but Morgan got bored with just …
Vegan Virtual Potluck ~ Lemon-Garlic Scallops
Welcome to my contribution to the Virtual Vegan Potluck! I was a big seafood lover before I went vegetarian almost a decade ago. I am so happy that we now have Sophie’s Kitchen with their great selection of vegan seafood. This week we tried their Breaded Scallops. I found a simple non-vegan recipe for scallops and veganized it! This recipe is designed for two people, but could easily be divided into smaller portions for a …

I got this striped tank top last summer and I love it. the necklace I’m wearing (and yes it’s one necklace with two strands) was found in a drawer in my Mom’s old room at my Grandma’s house. Here’s a close-up: It has one pink and one purple rose and I …
Bag of Bones ~ Reading Wednesday
Yep, I’m back on a King Kick. As I patiently (PATIENTLY!) wait for the next James Potter book to be released, I’m whittling away at my Stephen King book list. Over the weekend I read The Colorado Kid and right now I’m reading Bag of Bones. I’m about halfway through his works, I think. Bag of Bones is about a writer, Mike Noonan, who is suffering from writer’s block after the untimely death of his …
Baking Fail
Last week I had a total baking fail. I decided to make the Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Cookies I posted about on Friday. I thought I’d make two batches and bring them to the bridal shower. You can find the recipe here. I followed it pretty much to the letter, doubling everything. So where did I go wrong? Well, I made the flax mixture and put it in the fridge…. then forgot to add it to …
Weekend in Review ~ Birds
On the weekend I went up to my Grandma’s for my future-sister-in-law’s bridal shower. While I was there I saw lots lots of birds. Here are some snaps I got. White-crowned Sparrow Common Mergansers taking flight on the bay. Baltimore Oriole (not the baseball team) Red-winged Blackbird in flight. Pileated Woodpecker. There’s a second one hiding behind the tree. Morning calm waters. Not a bird, but a lovely Trout Lily. I also saw Brown-headed Cowbirds …
Sunday Musings ~ Customer Service
I was reminded of how much I adore ModCloth the other day. They have excellent customer service! I received my package (after paying another $15 for customs. Bah!) and while my Feline Casual Top was perfect (photos coming soon), my Hare You Go Container was in pieces. Boo-urns! As soon as I opened it, I got onto ModCloth.com to chat with someone at Customer Care. Heather was a dear. She sent me another container via …
