You tell ‘em, Doormat.

March 30th, 2010

How much do I love this doormat from Perpetual Kid? I usually don’t like mouthy home accessories, but I have to give this one a little more respect. Well done.

Life is Uncertain, Eat Dessert First.

March 30th, 2010

In 1988, I purchased a T-shirt from a popular ice cream institution here in Austin, which featured that above title slogan. I still have the shirt somewhere, and still subscribe to the sentiment. Almost every day. Because for some reason, I can’t seem to get going in the morning until it’s almost the afternoon. This [...]

A Brilliant Idea to Refresh a Refrigerator

March 29th, 2010

I’ve been thinking about refrigerators lately. Mainly because the one in this old house needs to be upgraded (along with the rest of the kitchen). However, every model I’ve seen and liked is running about $2K (Like this retro refrigerator above from Elmira Stove Works) And, alas, I don’t currently have that kind of change [...]

Defining a Work: My Take on the Mom 2.0 Art Exhibit

March 26th, 2010

It all started as a random, throw away idea in a meeting. I wondered about ways we could have the Mom 2.0 Summit’s Friday night event in a place that wasn’t dark and loud. I said, it would be cool if we could have a party with an art exhibit theme…if it could be in [...]

I’m Just Glad I Wasn’t In The ‘Dogfighting Bust’ Story

March 25th, 2010

Last week, The Houston Press proved its brilliance by writing its cover story on Houston’s Top Bloggers. The piece was written by the talented Catherine Matusow, and it very smartly opened with everyone’s BFF, The Bloggess. I somehow sneaked in on Page 4. Here’s the full line up: Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess Charles Kuffner, Off [...]

The Sun Will Come Out. Tomorrow.

March 24th, 2010

It’s a rainy day here in Central Texas. And as a result, everything is a little bit gray… and moving a little bit slowly. Including me. But I can’t really complain. I like the rain. It casts a different light and helps things grow. Plus, tomorrow will be sunnier. Until then, I’m going to grab [...]

Today is the first day of the rest of your office.

March 22nd, 2010

As of today, I now have a little office in the back of my house. It has six, almost-floor-to-ceiling windows in it. I think I’m going to need to start wearing sunscreen in the house. But I’m not complaining. *Horrible photo taken with my iPhone. I plan to find my actual camera sometime tomorrow.

#19. Go to Marfa.

March 19th, 2010

I’m thinking a lot about Marfa lately. Partially because it’s on my year list. And partially because I do this every spring. Whenever it starts to warm up around here, I begin to dream of wearing house dresses and walking around lazy, open spaces. No one knows why. But there’s something mysterious about Marfa. I’ve [...]
