Hello, everyone! How are we all doing? I went bridal dress shopping last weekend and it was honestly a really great experience. I hate clothes shopping in general, and I was concerned that the pressure of finding such an important garment would only heighten those negative feelings. My stylist was so lovely and supportive. As someone bigger chested, I was also super dubious that I didn’t need a bra in these dresses, but she was … Continue reading Links: Good Causes, Owls, & More→
Welcome back everyone! This week and the last week have felt like such a slog. I feel like I could sleep through an entire weekend at this point. In fairness, I’ve had a lot of social obligations and deadlines. Hopefully, I can get a weekend just to rot soon! Anyone else feeling some burn out? … This link was sent in by Vicki S. Connecticut has passed a bill to give libraries more agency when … Continue reading Links: Always Cats and Libraries→
Hello, everyone! Happy Wednesday! The allergies are currenting lying dormant. Let’s keep our fingers and toes crossed that it stays that way. Also some big things! Bridal dress shopping (my top pick to hopefully try on). End of the year vacation! We’ll be going to the most magical place on Earth. To be honest, I feel a little silly being so excited to go to WDW around the holidays but there are a few reasons … Continue reading Links: Harmonicas, Candles, & More→
Happy Wednesday! Check-in time! My birthday was Friday and I caught the vicious cold my partner had earlier that week. Birthday plans were canceled and it was pretty much four days of DayQuil comas and playing Love and Deepspace in bed. In fairness, our plans were already pretty lowkey and they’ve been rescheduled for this weekend. Also, like many of you, my birthday gave me a chance to reflect on how long I’ve been part … Continue reading Links: Dragons, Stationery Supplies, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! It doesn’t feel like a Wednesday and time seems to be going painfully slow this week. Last night, I had a bridal dress consultation with Alysia Cole, a bridal stylist I found on Instagram. It was a wonderful half hour call and I’m eager to see her suggestions on where to shop locally and what designers might work for the style I envision. I’m especially prioritizing dresses that allow me to … Continue reading Links: Cozy Fiction, Trading Cards, & More→
Happy Wednesday! We finally have a break from the rain in my area, though I think it’s due to start back up again tomorrow. On the plus side, a couple friends and I are doing a reading and crafting weekend. We’ve rented a cute beach house, divided up the meals, and I’m so looking forward to just getting cozy. I’m hoping that being away from my computer will allow me to make some progress on … Continue reading Links: Libraries, Ferrets, & More→
Hey, everyone! How’s the energy today? Bad? Same here! Please just know that this community is here for you. I’m not sure what else to say besides that. I’m doing a lot of gaming (World of Warcraft has lured me back in, if only just to mindless fly around a mine nodes) and cross-stitching. My cats are getting lots of pets and kisses and I will happily hold onto my partner’s phone, at their request, so … Continue reading Links: Wicked, Libraries, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! We’re having a string of warmer weather in New England and it’s really harshing my fall vibes. I also keep seeing photos or reels of people I know receiving “boo baskets.” Is anyone else familiar? It’s like an Easter basket, but for Halloween. And I kind of love it? I floated the idea by my partner and I was surprised that they wanted to exchange some. Their reasoning is that we’ve been … Continue reading Links: Public Libraries, Lord of the Rings, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! How is everyone doing? If you need some super cute news, I’ve managed to get Fig into a baby sling wrap so I can play video games or do work and still “hold” her. Before, she would yell at me and try to climb up my body until I held her like a baby. Does anyone have similar needy pets that you’ve designed clever little work arounds? I also appreciate … Continue reading Links: Exhibitions, Cat Games, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston spring has devolved back into a Boston winter this week. Typical! I don’t really mind the cold so much; it’s the wind. The wind is so brutal sometimes. My partner recently made a Trader Joe’s run and TJs is so good for fun and interesting snacks. But I have a gripe. They’re so popular and I get very overwhelmed and overstimulated in crowded areas. I want to browse, … Continue reading Links: Public Library Awesomeness, Fic Organizing, & More→
Hey, ho! Let’s go (read some Wednesday Links)! I had a big productive weekend and I’m still riding that high or I was…until I started getting the telltale pre-period discomfort. Welp, it was nice while it lasted. Speaking of periods, I posted about this on the SBTB Instagram. I discovered the Menstruation Crustacean in a local store and then discovered there are two more varieties: a crab and a shrimp. I think shape-wise, I’d prefer … Continue reading Links: Libraries, Rodeos, & More→
