it was still there this morning

she just threw a ball of car-hood snow at me
getting fancy with the zoom

found objet d’art: snowman with BBQ chip buttons and Panama hat

Who, me? Emotional?!

Right.

I was not just getting teary-eyed reading my Larry’s Beans fair-trade coffee bag, waiting for my coffee to steep.

And this had nothing whatsoever to do with an article I read last night in this issue of The Sun which featured a man named Ricardo, who somehow provides for his family of six as a coffee [...]

Dear Loved Ones,

I am about to embark on a dangerous endeavor. You’ll know I’ve come out of it OK if I post the results.

But you know, just… so you know. If there’s nothing after this, will one of you come check on me?

Thanks,Steph

So here’s the scoop. I haven’t vacuumed in like three weeks because the machine is [...]

Creepy… or cute?

For some reason, I had the urge to take my camera to work today. This was the reason:Someone painted this awesome artwork on an abandoned gas station I pass every morning (the price for regular still says, like, $1.73 or something).

Do you know why this is so awesome? Because it reminds us that 2012 is [...]

Good mornings start…

here.I love it here.

It’s Milling Time.

(Just in case you missed it, that was a really obtuse beer joke).

This is what the Chublet and I were up to early this morning, before the Corn Puppy came downstairs… and even before I’d had my coffee:I sliced the giant soap bar into manageable chunks and weighed it out to mill smaller batches with [...]
