Do Not Get Sick!

Craftwhack — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:18:26 +0000

Okay, now. We’re in the home stretch of sick season. That time of year when we feel safe to call into work sick with a “stomach bug” so we can create our own 3-day weekend to catch up on Mad Men. I’m here to say: don’t let down your guard. Spring sickness can happen to [...]

Mini Road Trip

Craftwhack — Fri, 11 May 2012 21:19:01 +0000

Sometimes when you’re feeling a general sense of frustration, you drop your daughter off at school. Then, instead of going to the gym, you start to drive west on an impromptu road trip. You have a 2 year old on the back seat, directly behind you. He’s wearing a diaper and a t-shirt, because you [...]

I have some confessions to make. Some things to tell you about myself, just in case you were thinking it was safe to continue reading my blog. I need for you all to know exactly who you are dealing with and what I’m capable of. I’m not proud of my shady nature, but here goes: [...]

Do a Conference the Right Way

Conferences are an enorhuge* part of today’s world, yes they are. They’re a great way to network and pack a lot of information into your brain in a short period of time. While terrific, this can also be overwhelming. You’re going to need a way to counteract all that stress, so read on, my friend. [...]

Flatulent

Hello my flatulent little friends. Did you miss me? I have been working hard, much like one of Santa’s elves, to make another web site. I’ve been feeling awkward for a while about having a directionless personal site, and I don’t enjoy writing about the antics of my children, so I dug down deep and [...]

Not a Tutorial Tuesday, Suckers

Craftwhack — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:27:45 +0000

I suppose today is a good day to talk about my blog conference experience. I am beyond overwhelmed. I know everyone says that after a conference, because you’ve learned so much and want to do all sorts of new things, and your head explodes over and over again for about 3 days, but I had [...]

I is Gonna Fly today

Craftwhack — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:36:14 +0000

Well this is most likely going to be my very best post ever. Like as in EVER ever. Why? Because I’m sitting in an airport. Everyone loves to read about airport antics. First I’ll tell you where I’m going. I’m off to the seductive city of St. Louis, for my first ever blogging conference. Those [...]

I Know the Fame

I don’t mean to be a name dropper here, but: Philip Seymour Hoffman. Oops, my bad- it just slipped right out! I know him as Phil Hoffman, of course. I starred with him in numerous plays all throughout high school, and by ‘I’, I mean ‘my sister’. She was all up in what was then [...]

Neighbors suck, right? I’ve begun a list of actions you can implement to help you become neighbor-free in as little as 30 days. Depending on how aggressively you adopt these suggestions, you will be nude sunbathing in no time. 1. Create cryptic messages and drawings on your windows that face their house. Think scenes of [...]

Bad Food Photography- Bacon Edition

Craftwhack — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:48:19 +0000

Bacon isn’t my favorite. If I’m feeling totally saucy I’ll eat it on a burger sometimes, but usually I won’t give it the time of day. Many people I greatly admire feel something special in their hearts for bacon, and so for them I present this edition of Bad Food Photography. If you feel moved [...]
