Today, at work, I did a double work out. Let me explain: Normally I do a 20 minute bike ride-it’s a recumbent type bike-and I average 4.5 miles and burn about 400+ calories. So I did that today, but I was done with 35 minutes left to go on my shift, so I thought, what […]

Yet another perk
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayWho would ever have thought I’d enjoy living with fish so much? Not me, that’s for sure. Yet somehow, here I am, loving fish. There are three of them, 2 koi fish and one black slurper (identified by Ashley as a plecostamus) at the bottom of the pond. I walk past them 100 times each […]

Illegal skipping
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayAri and I went to the playground next door to check things out. Luckily the kid police didn’t come and bust us, hauling our butts to jail. We found a skipping rope that was artfully tied to various things by Ari and skipped with. It’s almost like summer today. I’m going to break out the […]

Felicitations!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, love, toys, we have funToday was Ari’s 6th birthday. I think it was probably her most eagerly anticipated birthday yet, and has been talked about for almost a year. The day went very well, Ari helped me bake and decorate her own cake this morning: Served on my grandmother’s wedding china, yes. I am no cake decorator, that’s for […]

Foundlings
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, dollhouseIf the word on the street is that I am a total pack rat, word has it right. I really am. And the last year and a half I’ve been living without my stuff, my glorious, wonderful, life affirming stuff. Now we have room and I have all my stuff back and the joy I’ve […]

Beautiful Sunday
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, making stuff is goodI just got back from the briefest visit ever from Nicole. Please feel free to go to her shop and buy lots of stuff. She had a necklace for me that is so incredible, every detail of it is amazing, thanks Cole. I just need to figure out how it’s worn to show off all […]

When I stay busy I forget…something…what were we talking about?
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, dollhouse, love, making stuff is goodGillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it. Not that I have $35 for a teeny tiny cutting board with sandwich fixings on it-I wish. Anyway, I thought I’d post the miniature things I’ve been working on. Um. I made warm hats […]

Visitors
By Caitlin Jane in a good dayI’ve noticed pigeons landing on other people’s balconies lots of times but never here until today. There were 2 but I wasn’t fast enough to catch them both. I wonder what they were up to. Taken through the screen door and the sliding glass door. My right hand and arm are sore from painting Ari’s […]

Minutiae
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindEvery day on my way out of our building I look at this pile of sticks and laugh. Funny huh? Maybe not, but I picture dog owners saying “Ok Fido, gimme your stick and we’ll come and get it later” and the dog reluctantly handing it over. Although my dog theory could be wrong, yesterday […]

God pwns!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, haha, we have funWe saw this sign today on our way to the dollhouse store*: Presumably it’s in response to these new bus ads (which I have not seen in real life, sadly). I’d think that using stronger words would be more powerful. Probably? Why not get to the point and say “THERE IS NO GOD.” Or, for […]
