Q: What the heck do you use to muddle sliced fruit into a giant pitcher of sangrÃa, whose surface area is too large for any standard mojito muddler?

Project O’ The Day
Less than one minute into my work day, my right sandal fell apart. Specifically, the two industrial staples and two deep nail/rivet things popped right out of the wooden footbed, leaving nothing to hold down the leather strap keeping my foot in the sandal. GRR! However, no task is too daunting for this handy lass.… Continue reading Project O’ The Day
Sidewalk Vigilante
Let’s see if it sticks. NO PUN INTENDED.
Obvious Conclusions
For the past several years, people keep telling me I ought to be writing for a living. And in all my attempts to take this solid advice, I struggle with issues of brevity. (Thank God that Grant’s equally verbose, or he never would’ve made it through my Craigslist ad.) I particularly get told I should… Continue reading Obvious Conclusions
New uses for old cognac bottles
Another good DIY trick! I sometimes use Courvoisier to spike sangria, mulled wine and whipping cream, and I almost always buy the mini-bottles since they’re so cheap and I don’t use much. These are one of the few mini-bottled alcohols that still come in glass instead of cheap crappy plastic, and I’ve been compulsively hanging… Continue reading New uses for old cognac bottles
DDR + Shag Carpet = Failure no longer

Ever since we moved into our new apartment he hasn’t been able to play, because something about the ’70s shag carpeting in here just doesn’t agree with the grippy bottom of… Continue reading DDR + Shag Carpet = Failure no longer
Crafty solutions
Ah, I love a great cheap solution. Grant and I live in domestic bliss, for the most part, but we both have annoying habits that the other one doesn’t love. One of the things that annoys me is that Grant tends to discard his clothing from the day in a pile on the bedroom floor,… Continue reading Crafty solutions
Scaredy Cat
So poor Trumpet has had to go through a few changes lately. Not only did Grant go back to work full-time, leaving our clingy dog-like kitty confused at the sudden lack of Daddy time, but we also outfitted our place with some new cat-cessories. And he’s having some trouble adjusting. We FINALLY got a sliding… Continue reading Scaredy Cat
