Black Thumb
Remember this shrub? The one of which I was so proud? The one that was alive in spite of my total gardening ignorance? That shrub?

Summer is Hot, Posting is Light
Is it August? Already? Really? Nobody told me! Seriously. Nobody.
I’ve been wanting to write a post, a long post about how our neighbors hate us. It is a riveting story; complete with snow, junk cars, kids in yards, cat shit, and (gasp) the police! I’ve been trying [...]

I just know this is going to make you feel better
For the last month or so I have been laying in bed every night, fighting to overcome all my imagined stress, and figure out a way to fall blissfully into the nothingness of sleep. I’ve come up with quite an awesome coping strategy, I lay there and write posts for this blog in [...]
