Ode to Organization
Since January is the month designated for tax preparation, self-loathing, football and cleaning out closets, it’s only natural the topic of organizing one’s crap has been circulating amongst my friends and family this week.
During these conversations, I’ve decided Sterilite boxes are absolutely the most ineffective way for me to organize myself. You know, the ones [...]

Speidi Makes Us Sick
If the celebrity tabloid world was anything like high school, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt would be voted “Most Likely to Make Us Vomit.” Even by Us Weekly, surprise, surprise.
I was uber giddy to note via Jossip that the celebrity rag that usually loves all things staged and cheesy called out Camp Speidi’s lame shenanigans.

Oh, and happy 2008…
Ah yes, um, Happy New Year! Forgot to say Happy Holidays or anything of the sort…how rude.
My time was spent wearing a cheesy Christmas sweater and green tights, enjoying a chilly trip to Lake Arrowhead and watching the ball drop from Bainbridge Island, Washington, among other highlights. Strep throat being one [...]

How to paint a "headboard"
The new year is all about setting really unrealistic goals for yourself that you might not meet, but they were pretty fun to make. Like “get abs of steel” or “clean out my scary closet.”
So I’ll just go ahead and qualify my excuse as “I live in an rented condo” for why I can’t make [...]
