In a twist of fate, I’m going to be switching from the department I hate with a burning passion to a department with a lighter workload and a seemingly all around better staff. I’ll be making the same pay rate, with the potential for an 11% raise at the end of 90 days. The best [...]
As I said a few posts ago, I began seeing someone new. (I haven’t yet thought of a clever or descriptive pseudonym for him, which is surprising to both Roommate and me because my new male suitor is both a sailor and an Indian [don't jump my shit, he refers to himself as an "Indian" [...]
Phew. That was a mouthful! Click on the pic for more info. I’d prefer to sell it to someone local, because that’s a lot easier for me, but am willing to sell it to someone from out of the area. (Please note, if you are not local to Philly, you will need to pay shipping [...]
As I mentioned a few days ago, my herb garden is back into full swing. My lavender, oregano, thyme, onion chives, tarragon, pineapple, orange, spear & chocolate mints all survived the winter and look fuckin’ awesome.

Yesterday was my birthday. On Saturday night, I rung in the weekend with trips to Devil’s Den (duck fries make me fucking weep), Rim Cafe (where Rene made me a drink about as large as my fuckin’ head. #TRUTH), and The Dive (where I got to see the cutest grey and white pit bull. HE [...]
Merry Giftmas! Favorite gift is a tie between my brand new voice recorder and the new Amy Sedaris crafting book. Oh, or the 5000 lbs. of chocolate I’ve received between the 18th and today. Who knows?

Thank the gods I don’t believe in for cheap, readily accessible Easy Off. Last night, I attempted to make pomegranate molasses. When boiling down the pomegranate juice, I got distracted and walked away. A few minutes later, I thought I smelled something burning. Imagine my surprise when I went to check on the pomegranate juice [...]
