I wouldn’t call myself an expert in the kitchen, but I do like to cook and I also enjoy baking from time to time. And this seems to be the summer of blueberries. First I saw these awesome muffins over on Clio’s blog. And then The Curious Kiwi made some excellent looking scones. And then … More A Little Bit of Baking
The final stop on the road home was a bit out of the way – Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is one of those things that is so iconic it was a bit surreal being there. It (obviously) looks quite a bit like the pictures and images that are so prevalent, but the … More Tales from the Road: Grand Canyon National Park
The next stop on my adventure to the 2013 National Roller Skating Championships is the Petrified Forest National Park. I have to say that this was probably my favorite stop on the trip. The first several viewpoints (north of the I-40) overlook the Painted Desert, which is a pretty view, but somewhat reminiscent of the … More Tales from the Road: Petrified Forest National Park
I have recently returned from the 2013 US Roller Skating National Championships which was held for the first time in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is the first time that the nationals have been held close enough to my home that driving was a preferable option to flying, and so I got to visit a few … More Tales from the Road: Experiencing the Impact at Meteor Crater
As I have been hinting in several of my recent blog posts, there have been a few recent developments as far as both my skating and sewing lives go. Mostly in the form of new toys. Last year, my readers may recall, I did a large multi-part series analyzing my switch from Atlas to Roll … More Skating Update: A Comparison of the Roll Line Dance and Energy Plates
Last year I had a great year in skating, and this year was as good if not better! It has been a little over a year at our new skating club, and it has proven to be delightful. I feel like I have a lot more friends in skating than I ever have before, and … More A Year in Review: Skating Accomplishments 2012
Ok, I don’t typically post “real life” things here, BUT I am going to make an exception because I finally got LaTeX to number pages in the format required for my super long thesis document. Me, after pagination worked out. (Picture from realitytvgifs) I still have a ton of work to do, but I have wasted … More The Page Number Happy Dance
So way back at Nationals (a few months ago) I ordered some new skating boots. After years of skating I have come to find that Harlick is my preferred boot brand – for me, it just fits. No amount of nagging, pandering, berating, or insulting from the peanut gallery is going to change my mind on that … More New Boots!
Russian Burda finally got its act together after teasing me with a sad and mostly empty page (showing only one new photo, and another picture from last year), and now has the full November Preview up. Overall I am pretty excited for this issue. I mean, sure, there is an entire section dedicated to slouchy at … More Newsflash – November BurdaStyle Preview Posted!
