So...tired...must...write.

I'm not going to lie.

I'm totally starting this blog post on Monday night, and I will be wrapping it up/publishing on Tuesday (edit here...or Wednesday...).

You see, I just listed 12 new things on Amazon, edited some pictures and put up some Etsy listings, made dinner, fed my boys, and I'm. so. tired.

But everything needs to get done. Like yesterday.

Interesting fact though, speaking of Amazon...I couldn't figure out why none of my listings were showing up in search. In my head, I'm going "What the h, Amazon, you invited me to open my shop finally, what's the deal?" As I dug and dug, I realized that in the handmade section, only 3 main categories were showing up...wait a second...

Turns out, the new categories aren't actually "live" yet.

And Amazon hasn't told us when we will be live either. I did get an email this morning telling me to make sure my Artisan profile was done and I had listings up in the shop within the next 7 days though...so I'm holding out hope we will be live sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I don't know if I just didn't read thoroughly (totally possible) or Amazon pulled a fast one, but I feel like a dummy.

I will be announcing it here and on FB as soon as the Amazon shop is live. Although we are still working out the kinks, I can tell you that...I still haven't gotten as far as figuring out how to change my shipping prices, because I can tell you right now I don't need to charge $4.50 to ship a wallet.

*le sigh*


Here, have some pictures from the last few weeks (or, basically, just some of my favorites from Wine Walk)!

Early on. We like themes. This was at a jewelry store.

Post wine walk at Cosentino's. I think we may be saying we have a problem here...and that problem was that there was no more wine.  

This was first glass, but also a really cute picture of us. We got drunker and sillier as the day wore on.

I've been a total slacker the last 10 days and haven't taken shit all for pictures, however that situation will be remedied this weekend. My mum is in town from VA, and I have a bebe shower + Ayla watching on Saturday, so be prepared for me to overload your 'grams. Sunday is Mother's Day, and we are going to Science City (which I'm almost as excited as Dono about...), so there will also be lots of picture taking then as well.

May is a bit of a cray cray whirlwind...the middle of the month is the *only* weekend we don't have anything planned (yet), and the last week of the month is going to be absolutely nuts, but also an eff ton of fun, so I'll take it.

I'm off to go sew baby stuff now. Yeah. I procrastinate like that.

Life in the Time of Global Warming

I don't even know how to start writing today.

I just know I need to write.

Where to begin? I haven't posted since the beginning of September. And so much has changed.

I guess we can start with the Big One.

November 8th, 2016. I wasn't thrilled with my choice for the next leader of the free world, but I had accepted it. Made my peace. Knew that we would keep moving forward, and it would be so much better than going 50 steps back.

As my husband and I watched the results roll in, anticipation turned to disbelief, and dread. I kept refreshing the browser pages, my phone, anything to tell me that this wasn't actually happening, that it couldn't actually be real.

I didn't go to sleep until 3 am. I woke up at 6:30, bleary eyed, and in shock, and went to work. My mom called me to ask how I was. I burst into tears as I told her I was terrified.

As the transition began, we settled in to a "new normal"...daily there were things that made me angry, made me sad. I…

Early Spring

Time marches on, and the wheel keeps turning.

It's already in the 60s and 70s here in Missouri. My blackberry bush and asparagus are budding. I'm pretty sure my strawberries never actually went dormant this winter.

It's time to get my seeds and seedlings to prepare for planting in a just a few more weeks.

I had an existential crisis in January. Wondering what the hell I was doing with my life, and why the fuck shouldn't I take a giant leap of faith?

So I did. I applied to grad school, to get my Master's in Library and Information Science (called an MLIS for short).

I got in. I GOT IN! OhchristalmightyIgotin!

It's still sinking in, a week later. I'm officially accepted and enrolled. I start in the fall of this year, and I am so. excited.

I feel much more settled now...with everything going on in our country and the world, having my job feel like it was suffocating me was just one more thing I couldn't take. I can't change what #45 is doing, or will d…

As my heart cries

I am finally getting to the point where I can put words to what I'm feeling, how I've responded and am continuing to respond to the horror that befell 300 of my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters this past Sunday morning.

Part of me still doesn't have the words, but I have to get it out. I have to pour it out on this virtual page, because there are moments when it threatens to crash over me and drown me in sorrow.

This has shaken me.

I fell madly in love with, and married, a man. Because of this, I get to be protected by my heterosexual relationship to 99.99% of the world. As my friends who love me, and quite a few family members know though, if orientation is a spectrum, then I am somewhere in the middle.

Part of me processing this horror, has been stepping back and just trying to support my dear friends and loved ones who don't fall in the middle...I feel like every. damn. day. they are fighting for their loves. For their rights. Sometimes for their lives. They have fought …
