Ironic Embroidery Belies Real Embarrassing Favorite Movie

You’ve Got Mail is my favorite movie of all time.  This is a quote from it.  Don’t judge me.
Also, don’t you think tulips are kind of boring?  And roses are smug bastards.

Sidenote: the background in these photos is our coffee table, which Billy decoupaged with a bunch of pages from an antique comic book about [...]

Filemaker PRO!

I’m composing this blog post in an outgoing email on Microsoft Outlook in order to appear to be working. Yes, dear readers, I have a new job, I’m not a receptionist anymore, but I will not desert you. I just have to be less flagrant now. Because everybody who goes to the [...]

Finance? I Know, Weird.

Hi all.
A few quick updates and more later on today.  (Yes I realize I often say “more on that later” and then never update, but really I have every intention of updating you later but I am also forgetful and selfish.  DEAL WITH IT.)
I am no longer a receptionist.  But somehow finance-and-financial-aid-advisor.wordpress.com doesn’t quite have [...]

Feathery

Katie Fay came over today and we made crafty hairpieces!  It was really fun and I made this thing that is very Kenley from Project Runway and I didn’t like her on the show but you have to admit she had great style.
The Thing Itself
I made it out of some feathers I bought at the [...]

Offensive

I gave Billy a haircut last night.  It’s not the first time.  The first time I did it was oh, four months ago.  And he has refused to go to Supercuts between then and now so he needed it.  Bad.  He wanted to look like Crybaby:
I wanted him to look like Don Draper or at [...]

Angry Trivia

If you are a religious reader of this site you know that I am supremely competitive, especially after a few drinks.  Last night was no exception.  We went to a restaurant/bar in Canton (of all places) to celebrate our friend’s birthday (happy birthday, Scott) with trivia!  Trivia is so fun!  It’s challenging and funny and [...]

Little Aliens

These are gorgeous.  They are whimsical and curious and make me happy.  Thanks Steph!

e-hypochondria

We’ve all done it.  It’s an internet phenomenon.
I’ve just decided I definitely have Borderline Personality Disorder.  And am probably going to die.  Obvsies.
The word “borderline” makes this sound like it’s not a disorder at all, but just short of a disorder.  In fact, it refers to being on the borderline of full-blown psychosis.  So one [...]

My Fingers Are Sore

Check this shit out.  I am crazy for embroidery.  Call me butter because I am on a roll.  I need more fabric.  Frankly I’m about two boring weeks away from opening an etsy store.

An Ode To The Courtside

Last night Julie came through Boston on her way from New York to Maine for a long weekend holiday.  We had a lovely time eating breakfast for dinner at The Friendly Toast and drinking cheap beer at The Courtside.
An Ode To The Courtside
Oh Courtside Oh Courtside
I used to think you were a basketball bar
That focused [...]
