Welcome back, everyone! Brian and I close on a house officially tomorrow! We are so excited, but definitely are having some sticker shock with closing costs + updates we want to do to the house before we move in. However, I’m so excited to start molding and shaping the space into something that feels like ours. My biggest projects: creating a little coffee bar in the kitchen and designed my peachy neon gamer girl paradise … Continue reading Links: Cat Tours, Cross Stitch, & More→
Happy Wednesday! Thank you to everyone who shared their summer recipes. I’ve put a few of them in the grocery queue. In a personal news, we adopted a third cat! We got her from the same shelter where I adopted old man Linus seven years ago. They even showed me Linus’s old intake photo. He was definitely much plumper then. There were so many wonderful cats, including a beefy black cat named Alcott who had … Continue reading Links: Monster Romance, Crochet, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Big thank you to everyone who gave me eyedrops advice. It’s much appreciated and I’m excited to sally forth into allergy season with my new tools! I’m currently in a giant reading slump. I can’t seem to focus long enough to make progress, like I’d rather play a mindless phone game or grind out levels in Final Fantasy XIV. Is anyone feeling the same way? I may try the “30 minutes … Continue reading Links: Figure Skating, Romance, & More→
Welcome back to Links! I can slowly start to feel the allergies. I’ve been good about taking Flonase recently, so I haven’t had my usual symptoms of sneezing and sinus pressure. I have had some severely dry eyes, which are new for me. I did buy some eyedrops; does anyone have a good hack to getting the drops in on the first try? May is looking busy for my social calendar and ending with a … Continue reading Links: Fish, Coraline, & More→
Welcome welcome! How are we this week? My partner went on a week-long work trip and has come back with a nasty sickness. The sounds they make in the middle of the night as they’re hacking up something in their body is truly the stuff of nightmares. And, considering that all the menthol cough drops have been sold out everywhere, I’m going to assume it’s going around. Be well out there everyone! I made them … Continue reading Links: Hunger Games, More Awards, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’ve definitely lost track of my days. My brother visited last week and we had a lovely time. I can’t wait to see him in April. Now we’re in the countdown to the holiday rush. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week. NEXT WEEK! My partner and I have decided that we’re just going to make a bunch of sides because, to be honest, that’s the best part. I also don’t … Continue reading Links: Movie Games, Public Libraries, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, everyone! Today is moving day for me! Can’t wait for a bigger place to entertain friends (and also get back to our in-person D&D session). In terms of video games, I picked up Kena: Bridge of Spirits a week or so ago and really enjoy it. Definitely tough at some spots, but you can give your little friends different hats to wear. I am also pleased to announce that February is … Continue reading Links: Fran Fine, Cocktails, & More→
We’ve made it to November! How are we all feeling? I started seeing Christmas stuff event before Halloween was even over. I’m not anti-Christmas necessarily (though I don’t love a holiday romance), but can one ding dang holiday finish before we start celebrating another?! Especially one that is nearly two months away. Okay, end rant. How did everyone’s Halloween go? My party plans were postponed, though my house was relatively peaceful. We don’t get many kids down … Continue reading Links: Mice, Mundane Halloween, & More→
This edition of Kickass Women in History is by Pam G. PamG’s most interesting era was middle age when she returned to school to earn a BA in English, spent a decade practicing judo with family and friends, and subsequently converted to devout Band Boosterism when her daughter embraced the cult of Marching Band. Ms G is currently spending her twilight years wrangling teenagers in her alma mater’s library media center by day and her … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Rusty Kanokogi→
This month’s Kickass Women in History is all about two kickass sisters from Ukraine, Lesya Ukrainka (born Larysa Petrivna Kosach) and her sister, Olha Petrovna Kosach-Kryvyniuk. These two sisters were literary powerhouses and feminist activists. The sisters came from a literary family. Their mother, Kickass Woman Olha Petrivna Kosach, who used the pen name Olena Pchilka, was a famous writer, translator, and feminist activist. Their father, Petro Antonovych Kosach, was, among other things, an accomplished … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Lesya Ukrainka and Olha Petrovna Kosach-Kryvyniuk→
January is coming to an end already. And then it’s time for the worst month of the year! At least for New England. There’s just something about the winter in February that just…sucks. In continuing with my theme of giving things I can look forward to each month, February will be finishing my tattoo! I’ll be getting the color and shading done and I’m so stoked to see what the artist has planned. Then in … Continue reading Links: Sleepy Podcasts, Newsletters, & More→
