Dining room upgrade: upcycling project from hell

When Adam and I moved in together I brought all the furniture.  He contributed a BBQ grill and a TV and that's about it.  Everything else was mine.  I was living in a one bedroom apartment before we started renting this house so you can imagine that my four-seater bar top table from Walmart wasn't exactly a functional item.

Wigglers and Squigglers update

One of my first posts was about indoor worm composting.  Adam and I lovingly researched and constructed our own worm compost bin.  Everything went well for about 2 months and then tragedy struck.

Barfday Blogging

I would like to start out by saying thanks to all the well wishes on my birthday (and during my pre-birthday weekend).  I appreciate every single person who took time out of their day to contact me and especially those who ran out and bought me amazon gift cards to support my kindle habit.  Oh wait, no one did that? Eh, maybe next year! ;) Kidding.  Anyway, it allowed me to get in touch with people I haven't spoken to in a while.

It's that time of year again...



You know the one I mean...

The time when the days get longer, the flowers bloom, the bugs come out in full force, and the scorching heat and instant sweat producing humidity start again.

Oh, and that damn birthday monster rears it's goofy-hat-wearing, noise-making, balloon toting head.  Ugh.  Two weeks and then I can forget it exists for another year.  Anyone else want to sleep through their birthday?

Christmas Bounty

I haven't been sitting idle between posts, I promise.  Christmas (I know that was months ago!) was an amazingly prosperous one and I received so many awesome and useful gifts.  Let's see.... I got a soap making starter kit, a pressure cooker along with various other canning implements, a ninja food processor, and a food dehydrator.  I am going to focus on the dehydrator in this post.

Wait, Weight?!

At work, the TV in the lounge is always on.  Every time I walk in to get a drink I am bombarded by some sort of news station.  Today must have been a slow day because I caught a story about these over weight ladies dramatically portraying their experience at one of their local restaurants.
