Day 18 - Whatever Tickles your Fancy
I think it’s only fair I dedicate today’s 30-day post to Craigslist. It’s so simple. There’s no design or style to it. It’s just straight information. Yet I’m there, almost every day, searching for all kinds of junk.
Thanks to Craigslist, I have acquired a kitchen table and four chairs ($100), an Ikea bookshelf ($50), a couch and love seat from Ashley...

Day 16 - A Song That Makes You Cry (or nearly)
I would pick We’ll Always Be Home by Attica! Attica! again, because it makes me tear up every time I hear it, but I need to switch it up a bit. This song has always made me sad.
(You have to go to my blog homepage to play it — it doesn’t show up in the Tumblr dashboard preview.)
apvo-deactivated20130507 asked: I recently created a desktop wallpaper for a design league that i'm in and wanted to put the wallpaper up on my twitter/tumblr pages. I wanted to come to you first to get permission to do these things, since the pictures are incredible and I like to think of myself as a decent person/artist. If you deny this, the wallpaper will stay on my laptop for my own personal use only. Any response is...

The Frugal Girl →
Awesome blog. I was looking up tips for repainting old furniture when I came across it. She’s taken some really old, ugly thrift store stuff and turned it into beautiful, expensive-looking pieces.
Tomorrow I’m buying primer and paint, and hope to turn my beat up desk and dresser into something worth keeping. Pictures of my triumph (or failure) to come.

Dexter's New Harness
A few weeks ago I ordered a custom x-back harness from Alpine Outfitters. Yesterday, it finally arrived! He wasn’t too excited about wearing it — he hates harnesses. However, once he’s out and running, he usually forgets it’s on.
He’s already comfortable running alongside my bike with the doggy jogger. Soon, I’ll buy a tow line and attach it to the front, so...

Monthly Expenses, The Future, Etc.
For over a year now, I’ve been living with my parents — well, sort of. I’ve been living in the lower half of their duplex-ish house. I say “ish” because it’s not legally a duplex, and we have rooms in our portion that my parents still use. No big deal, my parents are very cool. Plus, they only charge me for my share of utilities, so I’ve been able to save...

My Bread Making Adventure: Part I
This past weekend, my Mom was nice enough to grab a bread maker for me at the local thrift store. Only $10! I was really excited to make my first loaf, so I cleaned the machine and downloaded the manual off the web.
Isn’t she pretty? It bakes decent sized loaves, and I can set it 12 hours in advance. On Monday night, I threw in the ingredients for basic white bread and set it to be ready...
