I'm not going gray; that's just paint in my hair.
Ah, Friday. The perfect day for a brain dump and some blog updates.As some of you (might) know, I love this whole blog design thing.

It was mostly because of the rain (pouring all. weekend. long. with big, fat, chilly … [Read more...]
 Hey there - I'm Sarah.Can't cook. Don't have time to clean. Full time day jobber, weekend grad student, and power tool collector. I have a knack for getting paint all over ME instead of all over the wall. But I'm determined (hissy fits and all) to turn a 1980s eyesore into a young, modern home. Join me for all of the fun and frustration... and bring your paint brush! More>>> |
