I was digging through some of the stats on my site (nothing spectacular, let me tell you…), and found the most bizarre search term someone used to get here:

Charlie and I went to the Ashland County Fair last night. In addition to seeing the different livestock his students had entered for judging, and eating loads of fair food (yes, let’s talk about how well my personal training is working out…), we saw three hours worth of demolition derby!
The lawnmower demolition derby was pretty cool, but I think my favorite were the small pickup trucks: the smashes were a lot more spectacular, and there was more room to move around since there weren’t as many entrants. Of course, just like when we go to the movies, Charlie and I finished off our food/beverage before the main feature even started.
Wish you could have been there with us!
As you may notice (if you check the website directly, rather than reading it through your favorite RSS reader), I have a new header!
Many thanks to Charlie, who designed it based on some sketches I drew up, and totally put up with my client design shenanigans for tweaks. Yes, we both went to art school, so we can speak the same language, but there’s always different pressures when playing client/designer.
I’m noticing that there might need to be a few tweaks to the header (for example: white backround + white page text = bad news, bears), but overall, I’m really, really pleased with it.
Charlie wants to start freelancing some design work, so if you’re interested, please get in touch, and I will pass on your inquiries to him.
Speaking of Halloween, I will also have to get going and purchase my Halloween costume so it’s ready in time for T&C’s party. Much to the chagrin of every kid in a Northeastern Ohio neighborhood, parents forced us to put costumes on over long pants and sweatshirts. By the time I reached adulthood, of course I said I was going to wear whatever I wanted, dressing-for-the-weather-be-damned.
Of course, the sad reality of living in Northeastern Ohio during Halloween cannot be ignored, I must admit on top of that that I am a freeze-baby, and must now put costumes together that are both costume-y AND warm. The above costume is a winner on both accounts: not only can I wear some Under Armour (or, in my case, the C9 knock-off), I also have a woolen shawl I can wear over it to stay warm. /thinker
Saturday:
This weekend, the family was supposed to go to Yankee Peddler, but of course, weather did not permit, so the ‘rents and I went on one of their shopping excursions, wherein they randomly choose a TJ Maxx off of the list the GPS lists, and then head to one. We ended up in both Niles and Boardman, Ohio.
On our way back, MomZ and I picked out new hair colors: MomZ because she and DadZ are going to Wyoming in a week, and she wanted fresh hair, and I because I was tired of having way-faded-red ombre hair.
All in all, good weekend, hopefully rounding itself into a good week.
The nice thing about living in this house is the huge closet in my bedroom, where I can store most of my clothes in any given season. And good lord, did I have a ton of stuff, including shoes and handbags.
Also, occasional random-ass stuff, too. Here, have a look at the closet from about two years ago.
I only smashed my finger once.
They fit nicely in my closet. The cubbies are a little tight for my very high heels, but I’m pleased nonetheless.
