I know, I’m the last person you’d expect computing help from, but I am here to tell you I learned about something that’s changed how I use the internets. Two words: Google Reader. I think I first read about this via Dooce (or maybe linked from her blog) and I immediately followed all instructions and […]

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 […]

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 […]

La plus ca change
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, GripingWith apologies to Ryan and Corrie. Who can recognize this? Too hard? Here’s another angle: Now can you tell?

Further updates

Typing was the hardest adjustment-I worried for a while that my s and w keys would be broken, but they’re fine. It’s been well received by everyone-literally everyone-who sees it in real life (and not […]

Slow but not gone
By Caitlin Jane in daily grindI sent 6 postcards from Mexico the day after we arrived. Oh, the day after that. Up until today, I’d assumed they were just…gone, floating in the ocean somewhere or perhaps on a trash heap in LaPaz. Well, I went to visit Em and the babies (and her mom, it turns out) and voila!

Finally!
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindThe zipper on my purse broke…2 weeks ago. I was worried every day that stuff would tumble out on the subway or worse, on the floor in a public washroom. I have been looking everywhere for a replacement (and really, I finally got it in my head that I was allowed a nice purse, one […]

A love letter
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grindDear Festiva, I know most people would not expect you to be my favourite car in the world, but here we are. On the mornings I see you on my way to work I get an extra bounce in my step, knowing it will be a better day. Sorry for the blurry picture, I had […]
