I fail as a housewife: maid service needed

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Somewhere in Pittsburgh my mom is shedding a tear.
I guess at some point I failed to miss the life lessons she taught me about cleaning. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention. That’s beside the point.
The point is, I’m trying to clean my apartment because my Gap party is next week and I don’t want [...]

BlogHer09: Amazing in Real Life

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Holy crap.
This weekend was the most amazing, overwhelming whirlwind of a weekend I’ve had in a long time (if ever). It was my first time attending BlogHer and I had no idea what to expect. I was definitely overwhelmed and a little bit nervous. But that all disappeared pretty quickly.
I freaked out slightly on Thursday [...]

I’m at BlogHer!

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I’m at my first BlogHer conference right now, so if you’re here too I hope we bump into each other.
I’ve been attending the Geek Lab sessions so far and lunch provided by Ragu was yummy. I’m about to start Geek Lab Session 2 with Heidi to learn some HTML and CSS.
Today has been kind of [...]

My always, sometimes, never…

Thanks to Kyla for inspiring me to participate in this meme.
I always…

Talk to my mom once a day (at least). And tell her I love her.
Check my email first thing in the morning.
Over sleep (usually at least 5-20 mins)
find myself making up silly words for things
tell myself that “this week will be the week [...]

WTF wednesday-4th Edition

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

I came across this lovely because Guy Kawasaki posted this link to 15 idiotic tattoos and I’m a sucker for laughing at bad tattoos:

While I totally give this girl creativity points, this tattoo totally creeps me out. Mainly because her foot creeps me out. Ew.

Oh well…at least she has a sense of humor, right?

Hi My Name is Maggie & I’m An Etsy Addict

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Case in point:

I was just minding my own business, searching for a plain ol’ sugar bowlwhen I came across this lovely and I had to have it.
Because really, who doesn’t need a matching creamer and gravy boat**??

I’m glad you all see my reasoning here.

** I don’t even like gravy. No really, it’s sick. What exactly [...]

Answering my own questions & more on my mind

Monday, July 20th, 2009

A few weeks back I posted about some questions on my mind. I feel like I have had some of those questions answered, and now I’m wondering about entirely new things.
Why are there so many pregnant ladies all of the sudden? Today I counted 11 within a block radius of Panera. -2 possible explanations: Obama [...]

I didn’t die, I promise

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Sorry bloggies for my absence this past week. I was feeling under the weather and having writer’s block-what a winning combo. Despite spending the first half of the week alternating work and sleep, I still managed to get out and do some fun stuff in the latter half of the week.

I got to go see [...]
