I voted. And I’m still sick.

Early voting began in NC a few weeks ago. At this point, over half a million people have voted in the Old North State. Apparently, this is unprecedented.
Even though I decided to stay home sick today, I had to run out to the grocery store to get some Kleenex with lotion and some DVDs. I [...]

I’m sick. Sick, sick, sick. I even came home from work early today to get some rest. I tried my best to push through this thing, but it got the best of me. It’s the WMD’s fault. He gave it to me. I took the nasty zinc things that are supposed to shorten the illness, [...]

The Alliance for Paired Donation

I saw a spot on World News Tonight today about the Alliance for Paired Donation. I hadn’t heard of it before tonight, but I was nearly brought to tears as I watched the story unfold. This organization works to match people who need a kidney transplant with people that are willing to donate one of their [...]

Red Christmas

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at dying bottle brush trees ever since I saw this post last year. However, the only trees I could find in my neck of the woods were way to expensive to justify mistreating them with bleach and Rit dye. But, on one of the many trips I’ve had [...]

Not Martha

Don’t you just love that title? I think most woman ages 18-78 can identify with it. Not Martha is one of the many (many) blogs that I subscribe to and read on a very regular and hearty basis.
The thing that I like most about this site is the many useful and interesting links that Megan posts [...]

Ali Edwards’ Blog

One of the things (Alright, really the only thing- I like to hedge my bets.) I’m asking for as a Christmas gift from my parents (My mom asked me what I wanted a week ago, okay? I’m not stepping out of line here.) is a small digital camera. Now don’t get me wrong. I LOVE [...]

Pandora

Today I want to talk about Pandora. Have you experienced the wonder that is Pandora?  I think I’m probably the last person on the planet to tune into this great site, but on the off chance that I’m not, here’s my plug for it.

Hello, can anybody here me?!

It’s me again, peeking out from underneath the pile of cardstock, mat board and prints littering our living room. Our very small living room. WMD’s being a real champ about the mass of crafternalia (craft+ paraphernalia) creeping out from the spare bedroom that serves as our studio/computer/library/study/storage/guest room. But then again, he knows that for [...]

Quote of the Day

Posted in NC, Rambling, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »

From our city paper, the News and Observer:
RALEIGH – A big building calls for a big celebration. But when the building is a bank — and its grand opening comes amid a banking meltdown — falling bodies send the wrong message.
Therefore, the sky divers at today’s RBC Plaza opening are canceled. Once again: The fabulous parachuting [...]
