For everyone who mourns the loss of Jane’s Bargain Bin on Millihelen, The Toast reported that the feature has moved to their website and there will be new posts every Friday:
Halloween costume advice - black dress laziness
Hello! I hope everyone is having a remarkable Friday.
Give me your Lifehacking tips!
I’m home sick and I’ve finished Lifehacker. I found this article about how much you should spend on housing interesting, especially since the cost of living in my area is pretty high (Central NJ anyone). Anyway, anyone know any similar sites to waste my day on?
Motorcyclists
I recently got my motorcycle endorsement. I was wondering if there are any motorcyclist GTers out there to talk gear shopping with.

Cute chicks
We got these little critters on Friday night. Our older hens have no interest in them, so I’m determined to make them people friendly chickens. They snuggled into my hair this morning. The yellow one, a Colombian Wyandotte, is Shakira. The red, a Rhode Island Red, is Loretta Lynn. The black, an Australorp, is Olivia…
Travel to Houston/New Orleans
My best friend convinced me to fly down to Houston next week to visit our friend. We are going to have to entertain ourselves for two days while she’s at work. Do you good, kind people have any recommendations on what to see/do/taste in the area? We are history nerds, so we already plan on visiting some historic homes.
Fifth date
Tonight will be my fifth date with OKC Guy since I met him a week and a half ago. I'm already in that almost unbearable infatuation stage where all of my organs feel like they're vibrating and I can't concentrate on anything. It feels way too new to be here already. It's strange and it puts me in a panic because it…
Stitch fix and other subscription boxes
Has anyone ever tried Stitch Fix? For those who don't follow mommy lifestyle blogs, it's a service where they send you five items of clothing in the mail that supposedly fit a personal style profile. You send back what doesn't work. I tried it for two months and it was a disaster. I have a pretty clear aesthetic…
Emmylou, Dolly, and Linda
Somehow I wasn't aware that Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt (three of my favorite singers) made an album together called Trio. They're pretty awesome women individually, so obviously together they're like a Country Megazord. Anyway, for those of who like this kind of thing, I figured I'd share the…
Three dates
Guys! Guys. You like okcupid stories, right?
Embarassing Injuries
This morning I had to go to the OR to get a 1 cm piece of cover slip glass removed from my finger. I need to come up with an exciting story to tell because the reality is so mundane its embarassing.
Hero cat saves baby
Here is a palate cleanser for your Friday afternoon:
Simple pleasures
Because things have been getting better, I feel the need to celebrate the little things that have brought joy to my life in the last few weeks.
Noooooooo....
I forgot that Dragon Age: Inquisition came out today. It is 10 pm and I'm in my pjs. Also it is below freezing. I should probably wait for tomorrow, right? I should also cancel tomorrow's plans (board game meetup - solid nerd here).
Working with depression
I had a really terrible meeting today, during which I was called out for not being as productive as I should be. It was pretty humiliating. It was also justified. I've been avoiding things that I should be getting done. I've been taking advantage of my work's very flexible environment. Boss has given me more chances…
Highly relevant buzzfeed quiz - which British actor is your soul mate?
I got Matt Smith. Who'd you get?
Food Processors
are they worth it? I've managed without one for my entire adult life, but I'd really like to start making nut butters.
A Cat query
Beast Cat has chronic kidney issues. Yesterday, he started acting like a moody teenager and I saw some pee spots on the floor, which usually indicates that he has urine crystals.
