Roots

IMG_2818[1]

I’m happy to report that my root canal went well. I wasn’t expecting it to take multiple hours and multiple appointments, though. Next step is the crown fitting (to which my mother told me I would be a real princess then, with said crown) in a couple of weeks. The only real painful moment was [...]

What I've been up to the last three weeks

It’s been pretty quiet around the blog this month, with the start of summer and other big events happening around here. I started the month with the worst toothache of my life that had me down and out for a week and a half. I had a cavity filled in November that apparently needs a root [...]

A Tea Party Bridal Shower

tea-party-bridal-shower-1

When I went with my cousin and her bridesmaids to pick out her wedding dress, her bridesmaids asked if I wanted to help with throwing her a shower. I’m a sucker for hosting a party, so I of course said yes. Nik’s shower was this past weekend, at a local coffee & tea place, which [...]

April Showers, May Flowers

Black & White Flower Pattern

April has not exactly been my favorite month this year. Last week, Ben and I were in the process of booking a cruise with money I had won from a writing contest when our dog, Cheyenne, got lose and took us on a hysterical, hours-on-end, all-over-town hunt for her. By the time we found her, [...]

Full Moon Madness

While chatting with a friend earlier, she mentioned that full moon is tomorrow. Which explains a lot, considering how screwed up this week has been. Like, my dog Cheyenne unhooking her lead and running around town/farms/edge of the mountain for over two hours the other night and giving me a panic attack, as the night [...]

In the Kingdom of Nerdy Boys

BSA4_1

The other weekend, I spent 13 hours in a hotel banquette room with 100+ nerdy boys for a Warhammer 40K tournament. Since Ben didn’t play in the tournament this year, we both went as staff. Another Nerd-Wife and I were in charge of selling t-shirts, and raffle tickets (and harassing as many players as humanly [...]

5 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day With Your Kids (For Free)

free-earth-day-ideas

The only thing I remember about celebrating Earth Day in school was the tiny baby pine trees our teachers handed out. I happily brought one home every year, and then watched it slowly die on whatever random counter I threw it on. I have never understood what a pine tree sapling teaches six-year-olds about the [...]
