This is my crafty space - it’s a 6' x 6' walk in closet converted to a craft hole. I’ve got A LOT more fabric, ribbon, and machines in there now but it works! All of it is from IKEA and goodness, all of those drawers are great.

All of my stained glass and glass mosaic supplies live in IKEA Kallax 2x2's in the living…

I bought a house in 2010 and *immediately* became concerned about random children climbing the tree in the back. I can admit now that yelling at the neighbor kids to stay off my lawn is an incredibly provoking behavior and that everything that befell me is my own fault.

I am a NUT for super-thin pens. I once had a twenty-minute conversation with a colleague about the best .25 mm rollerball, and he told me about visiting a Swiss pen manufacturing company for fun. It was the most boring fun I’ve ever had.

For me it wasn’t a purchase so much as prioritizing sleep and vegetable consumption.

Nothing wrong with being an old spirit. When i was in my teens, i got really excited at the prospect of a new filing cabinet, being able to file and keep everything organzied. Categories, sub categories, important ‘if the house is on fire grab this’ folder.

When I gave earnest advice about credit scores to someone younger than me. “Listen here Sonny, you’re gonna wanna keep your balance low, and use every credit card sparingly but regularly... I remember back before the war...”

Her parents urged her on to a better life, noting that, in this country, the only limitations are the scope of your dreams. And hard work. Further, she has lived her life by the motto:…

Just don’t see him again. It’s really that simple, we’ve all been there made a bad call and decided after we didn’t feel great about the interaction that doesn’t mean anything bad about you. It’s ok to feel uncomfortable if you feel you were coerced but you aren’t bad and it’s ok, you’ll be alright just don’t see him…

Anna Wintour came to my office at Trump Tower to ask me to meet with the editors of Conde Nast & Steven Newhouse, a friend. Will go this AM.

We basically will have a double agent in the White House beginning on January 20th.

I think its going to be full of people from all different political affiliations. Example - I’m a high school teacher and I’ll be there chaperoning 46 high schoolers while they explore D.C. for the week and attend Inauguration. The trip was set up a while ago and I agreed to chaperone when I thought the results would…

Counterpoint: There will also be a ton of people in town protesting. So that’s something!

And when he lifts his hand, puts his hand on that Bible and takes that oath and we see the image

I love that he backed up his assertion that Mexico would pay for it with “believe me.”

The problem with the death penalty isn’t the people who deserve it. It’s the people who don’t.

Also calling me an asshole for thinking a gay woman should call a homophobe a homophobe is quite the take.

I hear the Shakers are hiring.
