So I finally got glasses. I had a pair years ago, picked while drunk and lost while drunk. They’d never been replaced because they were so expensive I thought all glasses were out of my financial reaches. So I asked for them for my birthday because reading was getting to be stupid. That’s me, today. […]

Hats!
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI have a big head. There. I said it on my blog. The problem with a big head is that I can never find a hat that fits. At least, not inexpensive, mass produced hats. Nothing cute, certainly. And like most clothes that don’t fit properly, a jammed down hat looks terrible, feels bad, and […]

Undies.
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, making stuff is goodPicked up this pattern at Value Village today for 69 cents. My plan is to use old t shirts to make underwear with. In a perfect world it will be a cinch.

The heel problem
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, clothesI have never worn these out despite the fact that they fit well, are reasonably comfortable and I can pretty much walk in them. I just don’t trust myself, wearing these means I’m out doing something, maybe celebrating and that often means a drink or two and that would be when I don’t think I […]

On aging.
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI noticed the other day that if I lean my arm on my bent leg it squeezes the veins and makes my hand look scary/old. I was trying to pretend that it’s from lifting weights but even my imagination is limited. Pretty, eh? Pretty SCARY. I am almost 40. And no, if you wondered, that’s […]

Hilarious.
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, daily grindThis is mostly for Ashley who thought snakeskin leggings would be hilarious. She’s absolutely correct, of course, they really are quite amusing. They’re also very comfy, walking in them is indescribably awesome. It was funny, I tweeted about them the other day and almost immediately got an @ message from the manufacturer telling me that […]

Hilariously awful
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, Griping, seriously?I cleaned our oven today. Talk about the world’s grossest job. The brown goop that came out of it was so gross, omg. I guiltily used almost an entire roll of paper towels-I just couldn’t bring myself to use a damp rag that would need rinsing after each swipe. Ugh. Anyway, this horrible task led […]

All wore out.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, clothesWhen Shannon and I went out for dinner a couple weeks ago I realized I had pretty much nothing in the nice department to wear. No dressy shoes or boots either. It was difficult to get ready, but I managed. Somehow. So why is it that all shoes seem to disintegrate at the same time? […]

Done!
By Caitlin Jane in babies, clothes, crochet, making stuff is goodI decided to go with no sleeves-after knitting half of one-because it’s a hot summer already and this sweater will only fit for about 5 more minutes. I just need to weave in about 800 ends and it will be ready for wrapping paper. Next baby gets this sweater. Or this dress. And obviously it […]

But just a bit
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, fucking weird man, we have funI went to Niagara Falls, NY on Thursday. My mom took me cross border shopping, it was great. Got some alsome scores at my beloved Target (I mean, 100 antihistamines for just over $4? Heck yes!) and we had lunch at a sweet restaurant called “Mom’s”. See? For Mother’s Day? Haha, right? The joke was […]
