Alright, I’m back on board the outfit of the day train! I was unable to set up my usual “studio” due to something called football. Much as I love football, which is more important? The playoffs or my vain little pictures of myself? Yep, that’s what I thought. I was banished to the hallway. People occasionally ask me why I…
Oh man you guys. I am so excited because it’s cold out today! And maybe even going to snow! I know, I’m sick. But I love the cold. I dug out this fantabulous hat that I got during my last trip to Colorado. I bought it at this little store on Pearl St called Momentum. I loved that it’s a…
I took the photo above on Sunday…ahhh, Sunday. Before this crazy work week started. But now it’s Friday and I am so very, very happy for that!

(You can read the venom synopses in this post if you so desire.) “Anthropologie is naming your kid Emma.” Hmmph. First of all, if I have children they’re going to be boys.…
I am about to embark on a new budget. The goal is to pay down all my debt…well, it’s going to take awhile. But to keep myself from going crazy in can’t-buy-this-or-that hell I’ve also allowed myself a small spending budget.
