Interview

Posted by: Jules on: January 30, 2009

Mrs. Chili is participating in an interview meme and I wanted to play along so she sent me five questions for me to answer on my blog. Here we go…
1.  What do you like most about where you live (and be as specific or 
general as you want about the term “where you live”  – you can [...]

Brimming With Ideas

Posted by: Jules on: January 29, 2009

I’m feeling all “crackly” with ideas and a lot of that has come from you guys. Yes, YOU! And now I need some more help. I know – you give, and you give, and you give …
 
I’m currently working on some designs for fold up note cards with matching stickers with which to seal them. [...]

I forgot about TTT until I read a couple of blogs this morning so I don’t have any fantabulous category this (as usual). So here’s just a bunch of crap I threw together.
1. I saw Last Chance Harvey today and I liked it. It was a quiet character study and Dustin Hoffman was excellent. I [...]

A Step in the Gay Direction

Posted by: Jules on: January 26, 2009

Being a card maker, I look at tons and tons of stamps, paper, embellishments, ink, etc. In all of my meandering through these products, I’ve never seen much that represents the gay community. Today I was looking at wedding items and look what I found (and purchased!):

Two Brides

 Two Grooms
How cool is that?! I think the [...]

Pretty Maids All In A Row

Posted by: Jules on: January 22, 2009

I watched and watched the inauguration coverage with an optimistic heart that I would get to see the Azalea Trail Maids march down Pennsylvania Avenue. Alas, I was crushed that they didn’t choose to televise that part of the parade. Bastids. BUT! I get the last laugh because I used my noggin (finally) and went [...]

Ten Things Tuesday – This and That Edition

Posted by: Jules on: January 20, 2009

1. Hope Deferred.I definitely wanted O’Bama to win over McCain but he wasn’t my top choice for president. I actually caucused for John Edwards (I know, I know, he has since shown us what a crappy husband he is but I still think he would have been a good president) so I wasn’t completely over [...]

Oops, I Watched the News …

Posted by: Jules on: January 16, 2009

I really try to not watch the news but sometimes The Beau wants to see the news for some reason or I see a little blurb of a news story in between TV shows. Today I watched the news and there were three fairly insignificant yet completely irritating stories.
 
1. DTV Conversion. Ok people. We have [...]

Come On Now

Posted by: Jules on: January 15, 2009

Just a quick one to bitch about the weather. I know, I know, I choose to live here so why should you have to listen to my complaining? Well, no one ever asked me to sign anything stating that I wouldn’t complain about the weather just because I choose to live here. And no one [...]

Azalea Maids

Posted by: Jules on: January 15, 2009

I’ve never been to a presidential inauguration, I’ve never even watched one on TV. This year, however, I’m going to be glued to the coverage. Sure, I’m hopeful that O’Bama will bring positive changes to the country and I’m SUPER PSYCHED that I’m-Dumber-Than-A-Bush will be outta there. But it’s for neither of those reasons that I’m [...]

TTT – Dog Toys Edition

Posted by: Jules on: January 13, 2009

First of all, it’s fucking cold here!

These are actual temps – we’re not even going to talk about wind chill factors (which is currently -25)!
 
Second of all, as pretty as it is, I’m getting a little sick of snow for the moment. We were supposed to get another 6 inches starting at midnight tonight but [...]
