Spoiler Alert: If you have not watched the first half of Under the Lake in Series 9, do not continue reading as I am about to give away one of the most delightful jokes in the episode. Set Up for the Joke The Doctor and Clara land on a base where one of the crew […]
Life Book
I like to keep busy. Like…really busy. Ok, maybe not as busy as CJ…but I do have a full time job in tech, Meg’s Retro Cookies, and dancing. I also try to get in an hour of exercise everyday – it helps compensate for the cookies. I also really enjoy reading fiction, which unfortunately is […]
Live, Laugh, Lindy
Disclaimers A few things you should know before we proceed: I am not a “good” dancer. I know enough to accomplish exactly two things: Competently social dance with almost any leader of Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, and (sort of) Balboa. Understand exactly how good I will never be. The really good dancers are people who dedicate […]
Ode to My Fitbit
Technically Perfect…for me. I love my Fitbit One. It’s been essentially glued to me since the day I got it. I chose this particular Fitbit for three reasons: It had a visible display with actual numbers reflecting what I’ve done during the day (as opposed to arbitrary light-up dots). I can wear it in my bra […]
Hugo House 30/30 Writing Challenge
Up For The Challenge! A few years ago, I made an attempt at NaNoWriMo…and I did…ok-ish. I think I managed a little over half the work and I definitely didn’t finish my book. I still love the idea of writing challenges, but I realistically can’t commit to something huge. Between work, my tiny cookie company, and […]
This Week’s Happy: New Apartment Therapy Book!
One of my absolutely favorite blogs to read is Apartment Therapy. I like to save up the week’s posts until Saturday morning so I can spend the first hour of my weekend snuggled up in bed looking at all of the beautiful home ideas. Blogs like this one inspired me to try painting my great-grandfather’s cabinet. (Check out Domestic […]
Hyderabad & Fort Cochin
This post is way overdue… Back in March, I went to India with some co-workers to visit the EA studio in Hyderabad. While this was definitely a get-down-to-business type of trip, I was extremely lucky to travel with people who like to go out and see stuff. What really made the trip amazing was how […]
Shoe Gallery 3: Spring / Early Summer
I was clearly all about the TOMS this spring. I realize I’m way late to the game here, but they’re so damn comfortable. Also, I rarely take photos of my dance shoes, so please enjoy the bottom photo of my three favorite dance shoes hanging out on my scooter.
Shoe Gallery 2: Fall/Winter
It’s been a while since I posted one of these! Last fall and winter was very comfy shoe season for me. Most of these will kick around for this coming fall.
Domestic Warrior: I Painted Furniture
Attitude Adjustment I am not really handy around the house. I’ll clean, maybe hand-stitch a hole in a cardigan, assemble IKEA furniture…but that’s about it. If an appliance breaks, I call someone to fix it. If the sofa button falls off, I take the cushion to an upholsterer. Why would I attempt to do any of […]
