Ugh. I just stopped myself from searching local stores that sold chalk paint and sand paper at one in the morning. That was after I stopped myself from attempting to reupholster a chair cushion (I’ve had a glass of wine, nothing good will come from that.) I’m craving some serious hobby time so I settled … Continue reading
UGH
I can’t believe it’s been September since I’ve written here. There are SO MANY things to catch up on but right now I just need an outlet so I’m going to pretend that you know everything and then (maybe, who knows) use that as a way to motivate myself to ACTUALLY bring this blog up … Continue reading
Here’s the Big One. (Or: Closing A Door.)
No excuses this time. Just picking the figurative blogging pen up again. I guess it’s time to tell you the massive story about the house so that I can start moving forward with this blog. Things continue to happen but without the backstory it’s impossible to blog about anything else. So! Let’s start with the … Continue reading
For Napkin on His Birthday.
I had a moment this past Monday, while watching you. You were staring at a turtle that had come curiously close to where we stood on the bridge looking over Mill Pond and you were explaining their ultimate defense mechanisms and regenerating organs (something like that.) It was quiet, otherwise– and something about your voice, … Continue reading
Here We Go Again (For the First Time.)
I was just sitting here eating a freeze dried popsicle, recalling a conversation that I had with Jammer a few nights ago about life choices and things I wish I was better at… when I realized that I hadn’t TOUCHED my blog in MONTHS. I have a tendency to stop blogging when things are boring … Continue reading
Patience is A Virtue/Bitch
So, as it turns out, I’m not the most patient person in the world. It took Napkin and I forever to decide on a plan for this year. In fact, it took us all of last year. Our end game is to be normal, boring, thirty-somethings, obviously… and so we came up with a checklist … Continue reading
Forced Goals!
Just a quick update to let you know that, after years of hemming and hawing over it, I bought my domain name! This is definitely a ploy to motivate myself into more blogging in 2015. My blog address is now: WWW.TYINGTHEKNOTWITHNAPKIN.COM I don’t think you have to to do anything differently, but if … Continue reading
Big Decisions, Starting Again
…That’s such a dramatic title, ugh. Where do I freaking begin? This blog post is going to be all over the place. Just putting that out there. I mean. New Years Eve came around (it has always been my favorite Holiday and I was SO excited.) 2014’s New Years Eve was relatively underwhelming. We went … Continue reading
What I Ate Wednesday: Basic Bitch Edition
A story: I laughed way too hard when the whole “basic bitch” meme started revolving around Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Memes were all over the place, there were plenty of “Basic White Girl” articles and lists on Buzzfeed…so I was sure EVERYONE knew the joke and certainly EVERYONE loved it as much as I did. I … Continue reading
Sequined Shorts Made for Bowling
Hi! There’s a ton of stuff for me to catch you up on! But let’s do a little #ThrowbackThursday first. (It isn’t Thursday, but whatever.) Back at the end of October (which was also the last time I blogged, whoopsie) I celebrated my birthday here in good ol’ Murl Beach. I have such a good … Continue reading
