Funky Shirt for Wednesday!

Here’s me on the way to work today. I finished the shirt last night. Am pretty impressed with it, lots of room for movement, it all went together well. If I wanted more waist definition, I could take in the seams, but I like the feel of the fit, and I figured that as I [...]

The Perfect Storm

“You’ve got your social security card, right?” I asked Doc. It was around nine o’clock on Monday, the night before our Bankruptcy hearing. We were required to bring our drivers license, our social security cards, and to be on time. I was a bit worried about my social security card; it still lists my maiden [...]

Kristen Stewart In Proenza Schouler – 2011 Met Gala

Kristen Stewart looked the best she ever looked on the red carpet at the 2011 Met Gala in New York City this evening. I honestly didn’t recognise her. I no longer sense the “I don’t wanna be here” attitude as that has been replaced by a knowing confident look. She wore a Proenza Schouler crimson [...]

Top 40 Countdown: Losin’ It

As of the counter at the right, I will be 40 in 7 weeks time. It’s time to get serious. I’ve restarted my fitness regime again. I want to lose one to two pounds a week as a birthday present to myself. If I meet my goal, I will likely be one clothing size smaller. So [...]

Aunt Frances Chimes In: Honey, You’re Going to Need to Tone it Down a Little

I know you’re excited. But we don’t need to let the neighbors down the street hear you. We all know what a bright little penny you are and that everyone thinks the sun rises and sets on your pretty little head. You don’t have to broadcast it on the six o’clock news. Frankly, though, I [...]

Reasoning For Rocking A Pixie Cut AND Extra Stuff For Those Who Have All Ready Taken the Plunge

Hi my name is Rachel and I’ve had a pixie cut for approximately 4 months.  And it is freakin’ awesome. Personally I think that doing this is singularly the most empowering thing ever. And plus, I just look good with it, I’ve gotten tons of jaw-drop reactions when I first cut it off (which is fun) [...]

F3 – Cycle 16: Possessions

Submitted for Flash Fiction Friday Cycle 16 I stepped out into the frigid cold, instinctively I cowered into the depth of my heavy coat, shoving bare hands deep into its pockets. My fingers found the seams as I clasped the fabric and pulled it taught across my dry, cracked knuckles. I turned away from the [...]

More From Tea Party

Perhaps the prettiest juice boxes you’ll ever see! I gave the boys these milk carton wallets using a template from familyfun.com. I considered covering them in some kind of fabric, but then figured the boys would think they were cooler this way. The girls got these little purses with a couple of girly treats inside. [...]
