The importance of public and private lives. Why do bathing suits cost so much? How … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 4
I've been on a bit more of a buying moment lately than a use up moment, and I have been using what I buy so I have no guilt about it, but I need to put a freeze on the buying and really lean back into the Project Pan and get some stuff used up. … Continue reading May Empties
We have a much better week of content this week, perfect for my first full week of work in two weeks. It also is worth noting that I wrote this while listening to the now 20 year old debut album from Avril Lavigne, so no, I can't chill out, and yes, that is what I'm … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination vol. 3
