Cabin Fever…Times 10!

I’ve got cabin fever. BAD!

Maybe this’ll help cheer me up. And you as well, if you’re singing the “Cabin Fever Blues”.

Copper Hue’d Christmas – Part 1

Good Morning!

I meant to post this yesterday as part of the ongoing “Copper Hue’d Monday’s” series, but I was so wrapped up in looking at all the copper on Etsy, I ran out of time.

November 1, 2010 – Before Photos of the Quonset Hut Renovation

Another hectic day here in North Dakota. I was up early to get continental breakfast on the table and then headed right back to bed for another couple hours of sleep. It’s so strange sleeping in a different bed, in a different house, in a different state. It’s really quiet here, which I love, but it does take a bit of getting used to again. Also, my dog isn’t able to sleep in the room with me like he does at home. I’m realizing how much I depended on him as a warning signal back home and how much I really miss having him in the room with me. Thankfully he isn’t far away, so I still feel sort of safe.

Dating Whoa’s: The Saga. Whoa #1

About a week ago, while in deep twitter conversation, the idea of doing a “mini saga” was created and is now being put into fruition. Honestly, the idea of putting my dating life out their on the internet seems a bit, well, lame. Is anyone even going to think it’s as funny as I do? Am I the only one that asks myself the question…”What vibe am I sending off?” And if people think it’s funny are they just laughing at me? Or the guy? Or the whole scenario?

Dream Kitchen…Modern Retro-fication

Okay, so I’m a closet interior decorator/designer. Really. I am! Who isn’t though? I’m working on updating my kitchen. It’s been taupe and white for…well…forever. I’m not going to do anything crazy because it’s such a small space, but I’m going to go a little wild. Robbins Egg Blue, Retro Red and Copper. I know, I know. Sounds crazy. But I’m very sure the effect will be beautiful, and I can build off of the color scheme I already have in the kitchen at this time. Always best to start that way before jumping head first into a project. That’s my thought anyway.

To use or not to use… Part 1

To use or not to use…Part 1

I really hate to waste things. Sort of makes me want to cry. Unfortunately, as far as food is concerned, it’s difficult to know when something is safe to eat or it’s better to throw it out. Things in the fridge, I throw when they get a couple weeks past their “Use by date…”. All of those “Use by date…” and “Sell by date” can sometimes be confusing. So I did a google search and tried to find a good reference site to help with the issue. This is what I’ve found.

I feel a temper tantrum coming on…

Just as if I was 3 years old…

Just three days ago it was sunny, warm and looking like we were heading into spring. The garden bug was starting to bite and green skirted Martha was getting excited
