the night before last, my dad called to tell me that my gramma (kay) schiavone was not doing well. and that she may not make it through the night. she had even called her kids all in and said goodbye. i knew she wasn’t doing great. that she had gone in for a knee replacement […]
just me myself and i
rhabdomyolysis.
it’s been a crazy couple of weeks around here. two weeks ago, today, i went to crossfit for the first time. i was hoping to get my butt back in gear and stop being fat. the workout was mostly pullups (i got to do wussy pullups using rings), rowing, and squats. i could tell i […]
merlot and van gogh.
my friend (and quilt mom) kim and her (actual) daughter casey had the super fantastic idea to have a group party at merlot and van gogh. you go. drink some wine. and paint a picture. the place where the magic takes place is right next door to burke street pizza. home of the best ever […]

2013
i just went back and read my 2012 “resolutions”. like most people, i lasted a few solid months (weeks?) and then fell off the resolution wagon. i kept a few. we got rid of cable/direct tv, so i didn’t watch as much mindless tv. i never went back to twitter and i don’t miss it. […]

(and twitter.) way way less. i’ve been thinking about ways to accomplish this, because i do love that i’ve gotten in touch with long lost friends and it’s a great way to keep up with far away friends and […]
some thriftery
i’m pretty excited about a number of recent thrift store/consignment sale finds. bear with me. or is it bare? whatever. i scored this bumblebee (minus a hand) at a consignment sale for $2. ike was thrilled. it makes noises and sings the transformers theme song. i knew the missing hand wouldn’t be an issue since […]
changes.
well, i have wasted spent the entire day messing around with my blog. headers, widgets, themes, pages… etcetera. and i’m pretty frustrated. i am only ok with this theme. it looks a little business like. but, i liked that i could have a header image. and it’s customizable. the problem is, and it was a […]
blog pledge.
since facebook rolled up on the scene, my blogging has gotten worse and worse. i sort of feel like no one really reads the blog anymore. not even my mom. so what’s the point. and i feel like everything is redundant because i’ve already posted it on facebook. not to mention how easy it is […]
