Ah! It’s time for another list. My packing list seems to be never-ending at this point. I’ve been told that you should decide on everything you want to take and then discard 2/3 of it, but of course, I consider myself to be an excellent packer :) so I’ll probably take most of the [...]

Are you convinced? So this goal isn’t actually on the list, it’s part of the alternates, and the whole idea of “alternates” is kind of silly, but I figured I should have a few extra goals to fall back on if for instance I forget to: a) go to Vegas, b) buy a house, or [...]

Summer is officially over. Last week’s list of “10 things that make me happy” was really fun and good for the happiness quotient. Maybe I’ll make this a weekly list. In no particular order, here are 10 things that make me happy {about fall}…

Although the Allen-ite way of productivity seems to have lost it’s best-seller momentum, it’s still a decent way to get things accomplished. So I decided a re-read was in order. I hadn’t read this book in a few years, so it [...]

Tips on making a Halloween iMix from your current iTunes library:

Search for words like: death, dead, dark, blood, evil, bone, wicked, hell or pretty much any word that conjures up scary thoughts.
Think of spooky sounding songs that you typically skip [...]

It’s good to know that Week 5 is the typical week to fall off the “Apartment Therapy Cure” wagon. Maxwell (Apartment Therapy author) posted that we should focus on what we’ve accomplished so far in the cure to try and motivate ourselves (and each other). So here’s what I have –and haven’t– done.
DONE:

This Apartment Therapy project has just turned into an excuse to go shopping….
Things to Buy:

Ribba Frames from IKEA for vintage travel poster calendar art that I already have (3 for living room & 1 for kitchen).

Couch pillows and a throw for living room: look at World Market, IKEA ?

The Cheap Eats 2007 (Willamette Week) guide doesn’t have a map, and I really wanted to see them all on the same map. So I decided to try out the Google Maps API, but first I needed to convert all the addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates. I ended up finding this website, BatchGeoCode.com, that [...]
