What's In My Toolbox Part 1 My Productivity Tools February 14, 2024

Each year my household chooses a theme which becomes a sort of mantra for the year. We choose something that fits with our goals and we build around it. We don’t always achieve our goals, but the theme always enhances our lives in some way. Last year the theme was Barbaric Productivity. We focused on getting stuff done. I didn’t get all the things done that I wanted, but I ended up discovering some productivity tools that I am finding very helpful. I thought it would be fun to share. Two I pay for and opted for their annual plan,... (more)

Hades Mustard Coloured Heels February 08, 2024

This is a pair of really killer shoes that I sometimes forget that I own.

I got them on a deep discount while shopping for another pair of shoes on the Hades Footwear website during the pandemic. I had ordered a different pair of shoes that took about a year from the time I ordered them to the time they arrived (but that’s a different shoe story.) Anyway, they gave me a discount code (among other things, very good customer service at Hades!) and I was perusing the site and see these which were already in the sales bin. I’ve... (more)

New Years Goals Part 2 Solo Acoustic Videos of all my Songs February 05, 2024

Last year I wanted to post a weekly solo acoustic video of all my unrecorded songs. My idea is that when people hear me live, there are often songs they like, but there’s no way to hear them again without seeing me live. My plan for this last year was to simply do one each week. Like my clothing goal, that wasn’t a good enough plan.

The second fly in the ointment was that as soon as I posted the first video, someone pointed out the vocals weren’t clear enough. Fair point. So I then spent a bunch of time... (more)

Just what's in my closet anyway? February 03, 2024

Yesterday I wrote a post about how I’m going to achieve my goal of wearing everything in my closet, and I mentioned that as part of my plan to achieve that goal I’ve taken inventory of what resides there. This has given my some insight into my own personal style that I thought would be fun to share.

The clothes in my closet fall into a handful of categories. LBDs, Crocket & Tubbs, metal T-shirts, Rocker Barbie, Kyla actually wanted to be a dancer.

We’ll start with the Little Black Dresses. Unless I missed something in the laundry, I have... (more)

New Years Goals Part 1 Wearing Everything in my Closet February 02, 2024

It’s a New Year and of course time for resolutions and goal setting and excitement for the year ahead. I spent a lot of time in December considering failed 2023 goals and determining if they were worth having another go at, and if so, what went wrong and how can we do better this year. Last year I resolved to wear everything in my closet. I wanted to take lots of fashion plate pictures as I went through the year putting every single thing in my closet on my body. I had a secondary plan to get rid of anything... (more)
