sofa saga part 2: this time WE’RE GETTING A FUCKING COUCH, DAMMIT!!!

Today I set off alone to explore the wonderful world of furniture retailers in another attempt to find a couch. Regular readers might remember that our last adventure did not end so well, so this time, I am determined to do it right. Our current couch is 100 inches long and 38 inches wide, [...]

omg snow!

It’s snowing in atlanta, which means all natives here are throwing one big panicked shit-fit. Case in point? My choir practice was canceled. Mind you, it’s just barely sticking to the grass, and not at all on the roads. But I am not complaining, because the entire city will be driving like it’s brimstone [...]

yay Sadie!

She made it – I can haz hotdog!

fat conversations

we’re watching a rather depressing show on PBS about people trying to lose weight, and the hopelessness of it all.

ESC: see, I don’t understand. I mean, we look like that couple there. but they are HOPELESS! they don’t cook for themselves, they don’t know how to eat…we do so much better than they [...]

there are two possible answers, and one is more correct than the other.

I can haz vote?

If sloth can do it, so can Sadie.  Vote!  Vote now!  Vote often!  Vote like a disgruntled elderly republican!!!

FO-FO-FO Friday!

mission improbable

So you knitters out there have probably heard about Jen and Claudia‘s slick new knitter torture knit-a-long for the year – MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2008 (ravelry group here).

And I went back and forth on this. First, my stash really isn’t all that big. Half of it has been accumulated in the last year alone, [...]

Chattiest!
