More Wedding Dresses
I know, I know: I need stop watching episodes of Say Yes to the Dress. Most of these dresses are from Kleinfeld’s, Lazaro or unidentified on the Internet.

Do You Have Memories Associated to Clothes?
This post over on Glamour.com by fashion blogger Trop Rouge got me thinking about memories and clothes. I have so many memories attached to clothes, let me tell you.
…I can still remember the outfit that I wore the first day of high school (a yellow t-shirt with a maroon dragon - small jewel tips - and cargo jeans —All thanks to Old Navy!).
…I can still remember what I wore on...

8:30AM Thoughts
8:30AM
Feeling icky
Still trying to make it over a never-ending stomach virus
Purring cat on my hand
Sleeping cat in the window
Coffee in my coffee hand
Hair a hot, hot mess
Trying to motivate myself for my morning yoga
Feeling hot
No, feeling cold
I moved here two years ago today
That feels somewhat poignant
But perhaps it’s nothing
Rolling over sodium counts in my...

The To-Do List
I am a big abuser of lists - to-do lists in particular. In work environments (freelance or 9-to-5), the first thing I always do is make a list. I’ve got to do this, this, this, this and this. I always try to keep things manageable - never more than 4 or 5 items for a day - but then I add on to the list and develop a smaller “priority” section. I use so much paper making...

Life is better Vegan.: 10 things EVERYONE should... →
lifeisbettervegan:
Vegans love to eat. Or make that loooove to eat. Our taste buds and appetites are in fine working order. We salivate, drool, get food cravings, and can chow down, gobble up, and overindulge with the best of ‘em. And all with plants! (Not that we’re bragging.)
Vegans aren’t masochists. Being…

Room & Board - EOS Swivel Chair
I adore this chair from Room & Board made by McCreary Modern of North Carolina. Absolutely, positively adore this chair. I’ve been staring at it for as long as I can remember on the website and in the catalogs. Every time I see it in the new Room & Board, the page gets dog-eared. The day I win the lottery or get a very high paying job, this chair will be mine. Mine. All mine. Until...

The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan
So what is the Omnivoire’s Dilemma? Well, unlike koala bears (yes, Pollan references our furry, sleepy friends), omnivores have choices of what they can eat, whereas the koala knows it can/should only eat bamboo. Our choices overwhelm us at times and become compounded by numerous issues such as the suffering of animals.
An immediate...

Book Blogger Hop Question
This week’s question: ”What book(s) would you like to see turned into a movie?”
My response is that there isn’t any book I would want to see turned into a movie. I hate books from movies. Generally, a lot. I can get past the fact that they aren’t going to be the same but I hate the idea of banking on the popularity of...

Book Review: The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok
The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok
Mira Bartok is the quintessential “take lemons, make lemonade” lady. While so many who have been through the situation she has (a schizophrenic mother and desolate lifestyle) and used it as an excuse for everything. But instead, Bartok turned it into beautiful art that is littered in words throughout this memoir. Literally. There are portions of...

Hi all,
Just checking in with glee and excitement over the fact that I’ve finally been able to sync my two Goodreads accounts into one and intend to use it frequently. Add me - I’m excited to finally get to use the site!

Blogs Are Hard
I don’t pretend like I have the hottest blog on the block. I know I’m not Cup of Jo or Crazy for Books. To a certain extent, I don’t want to be those right now. I have a full time job and a heavy freelance load that occupies the time I really could be dedicating to growing Serendipitwaddle. That being said, I know I get a few hundred of you a month and wanted to say thanks &...

Vegan - UGH!
I read an article on USA Today travel last night and I haven’t been able to shake the comments. Just about every single comment was lamenting about how we are made to be omnivores and that, since the author made this choice, it was her fault that travel was difficult.
So many people are medically required to acquire plant-based diets without calling it vegan. Ask anyone with a heart...

Fat Girls and the Internet
This post has me annoyed - almost as much as the comments on it. The post is a piece about how the author - a 260 pound female - shouldn’t be ashamed for her weight because no one knows what she does to her body. It isn’t their business. I get that and a lot of what she says is right on cue (hey, I pay taxes to help other people’s kids go to school too). But the nation’s...

The Offspring's "Smash"
The Offspring’s Smash is likely one of the larger albums in my musical experience. I say that now and it is a bit strange. In many ways, I feel so removed from the band. Of course, the second it runs into my Itunes, everything feels differently.
My freshman year of high school, their Americana album was popular. I purchased it, gave it a few spins. Eh....

Ponyhunter - Blogger To Watch
One of my newest blog obsessions out there is Ponyhunter. I love her vivid sense of innate, appropriate style. Even the most random combinations work.

UGH!
I’ve been so sick over the last week that I’ve fallen behind on everything. Some foolish Cincinnati death plague befell me on Thursday - a whole week ago - and I didn’t end up leaving the apartment much until Tuesday for work. Since then, I’ve been home all of two hours before conking out like a toddler. Who else hates being sick? Yeah, I know I hate it too!

Book Review: Decision Points by George W. Bush
Decision Points by George W. Bush
I will never agree with much of George W. Bush’s politics. That’s a given. We will never agree on a lot of the “issues” out there in a diametrically opposed manner and a lot of his decisions I weigh as the worst in history.
That being said, I didn’t read this book or take it out of the Ohio E-Book Library to disagree with him. I...

Book Blogger Hop Question
This weeks question: “What are you reading now and why are you reading it?”
As per usual, I’m reading around a dozen things right now. No, really, a good dozen. However, I just finished Decision Points by George Bush and am trying desperately to get into Animal, Vegetable, Mineral by Barbara Kingsolver before I have to return it to...
