Apparently I wanted to spend this weekend past covered in grease, because I spent the lion share of my time biking and cleaning my new BBQ. On the biking front, a friend of mine recently got a new bike and was wanting to do some biking this weekend, so we decided to bike over to […]
In my old apartment, I had built in gas fireplace with a spot above the mantle that was originally meant to hold those old boxy cathode ray tube TVs, but which made a very good place for a frog tank. My new place doesn’t have the built in gas fireplace, so when I moved in, […]
Hey, remember that time I bought a condo? That was pretty awesome and also stressful but mostly awesome. I’ve never done a real estate deal before, as I spent my twenties giving all my money (and a bunch of money that wasn’t mine) to various universities in exchange for letters after my name and the […]
It’s been a whirlwind last few days. On Monday, my big real estate deal (i.e. the condo that I bought) completed. On Tuesday I took possession of my fabulous new home and on Wednesday I moved (including getting my Internets hooked up and having the carpets in my old apartment steam cleaned so I could […]
A few weeks ago, my friend Kim came over for dinner. On her way in, she saw a realtor who was waiting for a client who had an appointment to look at a condo that was up for sale in my building. She came in and said, “Your exact apartment is for sale on the […]

When I first got the kitties, I bought them a bag of freeze dried raw duck treats, which they absolutely loved. So I checked out the website of the makers of said duck treats, to see where I might purchase them closer to home than the store in which I originally bought them. While on […]
When I got to the gym before work, I wear my gym clothes and running shoes on the way there and bring my shower stuff and my work clothes with me. Unfortunately, last Wednesday when I went to the gym before work, I remembered to pack everything… except my dress shoes. Which meant the only […]
Apparently January is the month for me to buy all the things! In addition to buying two living creatures, I bought a bunch of electronics ((Incidentally, the living creatures were much less expensive than the gadgets.)). You may recall that I recently bought a 13″ Macbook Pro because the 15″ one cost $1,000 more than […]
And now I’m just on a roll of talking about businesses that I like, so I think that I’ll make that the theme for today. Which brings me to my hair stylist, Jenny Lynn, the owner of Oh Hey Style ((As with the other postings, this comes straight from my heart – it’s not a […]
