personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This year feels like one of the longest years I have ever experienced (nearly as long as this blog post OMG). I saw a meme Tuesday that said that the Bernie mittens meme was only 11 months ago, and it feels like that's a lifetime ago, but also yesterday at the same time. I feel … Continue reading Best of 2021 – Media: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Content Creators
Carly Riordan did this a couple weeks ago and it seemed so fun. These are the items that we would absolutely love, but could never ask anyone to buy for us (unless I start dating a billionaire suddenly) and have to save up for, probably for a while. The luxuries that none of us really … Continue reading Ultimate Dream Christmas List

I had to … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Sad/Mad Girl Fall, Back to School, and back pain.

I'm really excited for this weekend, we are finally allowed to go to Thunder Bay without self-isolating on return (per work, not the government) and I am going to go to Chapters! and Michaels! and a good Farmer's Market! and eat … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
So this is super late - oops, but I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and then I got a last minute appointment to have my summer tires put on and drove my car out there and then decided to walk back. The walk took two hours. It started raining. I got completely soaked. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
This week I am feeling both the joy of warmer temperature and sunshine that actually has some heat to it and still very much running into the pandemic wall and remnants of seasonal doldrums. However, Monday was International Women's Day which means that there are all kinds of lovely stories about women on the internet, … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Engagements, Babies, and Agatha All Along
