I know better than to ever try to purchase or own a Dell again. I have known better for YEARS. And yet … I was seduced by high-end specs on special. Okay. The story. Because everyone cares. My parents bought a Dell desktop eleven or so years ago. It was a fairly snazzy machine back in the day, but its innards would be laughable to the average 15-year-old in 2011. I don’t remember how large…
As are we all. In the good way, of course. Aisles and aisles of fresh produce at sane prices. Huge fish. Animal organs. Giant bags of rice. So much hot sauce to choose from. Piñatas! [Project 365]
Finally, after wanting to do so for a long time and just never really being able to pull the trigger on it, I’ve opened an Etsy shop. Right now there are photo prints available as well as one framed collage-type item, but I’m busting ass to add more things that, hopefully, people will want to buy. Eventually I want to add customizable stationery designs, but that’s going to take some time since the few designs…
The weekend I visited my parents for Father’s Day, my sister and nephews and I took a let’s-get-out-of-the-house sashay down to downtown Saltillo (I will NOT admit to accidentally leaving my brother’s giant diesel truck’s emergency brake on during the entire trip, and wondering why accelerating was such a pain in the ass), which included a trip into the Saltillo Landing Cafe/Grocery as well as a peek inside the Robertson family’s antiques store, which I…
Oh, First World Problems. I ordered two packs of miracle berry pills at around 9 p.m. Friday, May 14. I needed them for the following Sunday for Randal’s going-away party, so I figured three- to five-day shipping would give them plenty of time to make it to me. I got nervous when the next Friday rolled around and they still weren’t here. I tracked the package and saw that it had shipped the night of…
I was thrifting with AY-D and Amy on my glorious — and gloriously productive — Saturday off when Amy spotted this little number at that antique shop next door to the Mapco at Central and Cooper. (Gary’s?) $15 brand new. It’s a good thing Amy spotted it because I was too busy following Amanda around while wearing some wooden African sympathy pregnancy belly to notice a damn thing.
Here is how a girl knows she has gone over the deep end into the homeownership bit of adulthood: She gets absolutely beside herself about all the weird and cool and old stuff at Memphis Waterworks and Memphis Market Central. I’m talking ancient doors, crumbly bricks from historic Memphis buildings, enormous church windows, soothing fountains, coppery hardware, the whole bit. I harbor no illusions that I will ever be able to afford anything…
I ordered some stuff from Perpetual Kid recently, and when I opened the box, this is what greeted me, resting atop all those packing peanuts. It gave me a smile.
My ongoing houselust has flared up again, and I think I’m going to indulge it. [Project 365]
