Yer A Wizard, Infant

Shameless self-promotion time!

I have three new Harry Potter Gryffindor quilts in my shop,
all about 36" x 45".





Quilt number three (the one on the right):




Wouldn't these quilts and bunting be perfect for a little Gryffindor?

An Open Letter To Trader Joe's

Dear Trader Joe's:



I love your Reduced Guilt Mac & Cheese.


I love your Cheese Blintzes.


But, maybe?  So I end up with my intended staff room lunch?

You could make your boxes look a leeetle different from each other.

When A Door Closes, A Closet Opens

The Boy is moving out tomorrow, 
but I don't have designs on his closet space.



Nope, not me.

My New Workout Regime

I read something mind-boggling on Lifehacker:

standing rather than sitting at your computer three or four hours a day
will add up over a year to the amount of calories burned running
TEN MARATHONS.

Wow!!

So just by elevating my keyboard, I'll end up with a body like this?*


Sign me up!

My home computer desk needed a makeover, anyway.


Once I cleared things away, I found there were three different devices/plugs
that weren't even connected to my computer!


A poster on the original article had a good idea:
instead of buying a fancy "standing desk",
just put a little table on top of your regular computer desk.


He used an Ikea table, 
but I thought a Sterilite container from Target
would do just fine, instead.


(Minnie approves.)

The keyboard was sliding around, 
so I added a bead of hot glue to the feet.

Problem solved!


Lookin' good.


(As a bonus, the lip of the container works as a nice little ledge,
for me to put my meeeellion reminder notes.)

I'm ready for my new bod now!









*Yes, yes I know:  results may vary.
Don't crush my dreams, y'all!

Gaze Upon Them And Weep, Cold Weather Folks

A SoCal perk:
I just harvested these tomatoes, 
and I've got another two dozen ripening on the vine.


Hope I'm not rubbing it in, snowbunnies.

Goodbye, Wonderful Halloween

The Sweet Man thinks I'm having a little trouble
letting go of Halloween.


He says it's time for me to let the jack o' lanterns rot in peace.


But they're not that bad yet, right?
Right?!?


Sigh...
okay, maybe an intervention is in order.

It's SAVING Not SAVINGS


Daylight Saving Time is the worst.

I'm glad to see the end of it for six months or so.
