In Search Of…
Sometimes I am quite baffled by the search terms that come in for my blog.
I mean, in the past month there were 18 different searches for me? I find that… unlikely.
But I have had some particularly awesome searches recently.

Eight different searches for this? Really? I am ashamed to admit that I [...]

TAG! You’re it!
Sunday Flower Pr0n
My day lilies are almost all blooming now. Last year I moved one cultivar to the front of the house, and when I picked up three new varieties at the WVU Greenhouse this year, I took the opportunity to move some other flowers out so most of the day lilies could be in the front [...]

Hair Now
I often complain about my hair, but no one seems to take me seriously.
I’ve spent the evening reading, and when I read I often absentmindedly run my fingers through my hair.
Here is the result:
Summer Reading Fun
I forgot to mention earlier that Todd Wheeler is once again holding his Summer Reading Program.
For every book we read and post on his site, Todd will donate add $1 (up to $100) to The Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF). Additionally, even if we read more than a 100 books, for every 25 individuals who [...]
Once More
So… another doctor’s appointment, another medication.
The depression has been okay recently, but the OCD and anxiety not to much. And I’ve been terribly achey for the past month or so, which is not doing much for the anxiety and my ability to relax. SSRIs give me TMJ, but right now all my muscles are tense [...]

What You Should Be Reading: Simon R. Green’s Nightside
Despite the fact that the second book in Simon R. Green‘s Eddie Drood series was sub par, you really should be reading the rest of Simon Green’s books. Especially his Nightside series.
John Taylor is a private eye who also happens to have mystical powers. These powers give him the ability to find lost things. Unfortunately [...]

Congratulations Anne!
For rejoining the ranks of the gainfully employed!
Now go out and architect stuff!
Yay Anne!
Harsh
I didn’t think my web design posts were THAT bad.
Wednesday? Let’s Play Word Association!
One day I’ll stop being crushed at work, and then I won’t have to write all my posts for the week the previous weekend.
But that time is not now. Let’s play word association shall we?
Ready? Chronicle

On Health
Several friends have recently started diet and exercise programs, and that got me thinking.
I have a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards “diet” as watching what you eat, but am a huge proponent of exercise.
First, I most likely have a mild case of body dysmorphic disorder. Because of my tendencies to obsess, I do not own a [...]
Tasty Tuesday: Homemade Oreos
Yeah, how many times am I going to feature oreos?
Lots apparently.
This time oreos were for my first official UCF visitor, neurondoc and her family. Needed something good, but relatively easy, and this hits the spot perfectly.
Homemade Oreos (via Smitten Kitchen)
For cookies:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150 g)
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa (47 g)
1 teaspoon baking [...]

UCF Visitor
I got company on Sunday! Specifically, neurondoc, her spouse and offspring!
I made pizza, and received assistance in decorating the pizza; then we had oreos for dessert. Mmmm! (Yes, you should be jealous.)
Also, neurondoc’s daughter is apparently part bumblebee, and is very fond of pollen.
My assistant and I made pizza.
Me and neurondoc.
AND I even got LOOT! [...]

Ah… Saturday
I can’t believe the weekend took this long to get here, but it’s finally Saturday. Went to the Farmer’s Market even though it was raining, and since we got out of the house early this morning, I’ve actually cleaned the house–or at least the living room and kitchen.
Unfortunately the humidity and the temperature are the [...]

What? This is Grandmom’s pillow? Why I have no idea how it could have ended up on the floor!
But since it’s here…
