  • Setting the Scene: Refinished Throne

    We got it finished, finally!! Our $30 find at an antique store here in town turned into an $80 chair, but look how much nicer it is! Daniel took it apart and stained it for me, then we bought the fabric, scissors, a staple gun, fabric glue and studs at Hobby Lobby. A few extra…

  • Stance Rant

    Today, it was brought to my attention that there was a bill floating around Texas A&M arguing that students should have the option to “opt out” of paying certain students fees which are allocated for the GLBT Center, due to the center offending their religion. Although eventually vetoed by the Student Body President (thankfully!) I’m embarrassed…

  • Setting the Scene pt. 1

    The hunt continues! This morning, Daniel secured the location of an amazing (albiet small) ornately decorated chair on Craigslist and at lunch, he decided to take me look for other trinkets for my tea party. Then we found this awesome throne chair ^ Now, he may need a little work (aka stain and some reupholstery)…

  • Omen.

    Today is my father’s birthday. And I called him, but not to wish him well. This morning started with a sharp, aching pain in my wrist (which has plagued me for nearly a month now, but was particularly hostile on this raining morning). After brief discussion over breakfast, Daniel and I decided that I should…

  • Nothing any good isn’t hard.

  • Mamma, I’m coming home.

    So I’ve been getting ready for my first real “vacation” since starting work, and I’m impressed with the level of responsibility that seems to come so naturally with adulthood. Got the oil changed and the tires checked out last week, got my roll of quarters for the Indian Nation Toll Road, lamps are on and…

  • Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

    So lately I’ve been thinking a lot, viewing other’s commentary on the state of the US, the world, and religion as a whole and as divided sectors, and trying to hone in on what exactly it is that I believe. I’ve said before that I think it’s our duty to respect each other’s beliefs as…

  • Break your own fall.

    Status update on my life: Awesome. Moosifer and I seem to be coming to an accord on the way things are done around our house. With the exception of the basket full of potpourri, he has a pretty good grasp on what is and what is NOT Moose food. At least inside the house. Outside…

  • A Calling?

    Do you believe that there is something you’re meant to do? Many people refer to this as “a calling” of sorts, and I’m curious whether or not such a thing exists. More importantly, if you don’t follow that calling, will you end up being only moderatly successful at other things? “Some once told me the…

  • American Cocoon

    Current mood: Anxious. Okay, yeah. I’m prone to anxiety. Ask Daniel; I call him in a tizzy all the time over pure nonsense. And it’s been a rough week… I’m exhausted & I’m a little overwhelmed, but I’m getting through it okay. Needless to say, I’m currently in quite a bizarre mood this afternoon. Being…
