I am a big fan of Macaroni & Cheese. The oozy, cheesy goodness… what’s not to love? Well, apparently some people don’t care for the oozy, cheesy goodness and would probably alter the statement to the tune of “what’s not to hate?” Yep, that’s right. John doesn’t care for Mac & Cheese the way most … Read More

Step 3: A “fabric” Lining
Because you all are waiting with bated breath (well, maybe not), I introduce to you the vanity, completely painted, however not currently assembled, including the fabric I chose to line the drawers. In my last post, I was agonizing over what decorative paper/wrapping paper I was going to use.
Oh, the choices…
I have spent some time now searching for the PERFECT gift wrap to use for lining the drawers of my Vanity. I’m torn between different designs/styles/colors/etc. I think this is why I tend to just go with boring things, because I can never make my mind up on something. I suppose the good thing about … Read More
Vanity Progress
So, I have been semi-casually looking for a Vanity for my room. I happened upon this beauty on craigslist and decided to take it home. However, it was in a desperate need of paint. I was originally going to repaint it white, but I thought, you know, my room is already boring enough with a … Read More
OSNOVA King James Version Bible
My first honest-to-goodness purchase for the Kindle was a KJV bible from OSNOVA because of the direct jump navigational functionality. For $4.99 you can’t beat it! Depending on your individual preferences, you can purchase a version where each verse is on a separate line, or paragraphed (which is what I chose), or without any navigation … Read More
The Choice Effect
Apparently I was the lucky one that got this book for free, as it now comes with a $9.99 price tag, and thus I can no longer tag it as a free book. However, this is a great reminder to you all that you should check Amazon regularly for free books and download the heck … Read More
You knew it was coming…
You just didn’t know it would take me this long to blog about it. As I mentioned in the Kindle 2 Price Cut post, I was now much closer to lounging with my Kindle in total bliss, and sure enough shortly after I took the plunge. I ordered it last Friday, and it arrived on … Read More
Kindle 2 price cut
I admit, when I discovered that TODAY Amazon lowered the price of the Kindle2 to $189, I squealed with delight. I have been saving up for one slowly over the past couple months, partly supplied through SwagBucks. In fact, I just got enough SwagBucks to get another $5 gift card. Anyway, since getting a Kindle … Read More
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
I have been pretty interested in obtaining a Kindle for the past few months, nay, since the Kindle 2 came out last year. Alas, I still do not own one but am currently borrowing one from a friend, and saving up my money in the interim (and doing a bunch of sweepstakes and contests). Finding … Read More

Ingredients 2 packages baby bella mushrooms 1 package Alouette garlic & herbs cheese (or cream cheese) 2tsp light mayo 1tsp heavy cream garlic powder, sea salt & parsley … Read More
