I know, it’s been a long time since I blogged about the greatest store on earth, Value Village. To be honest, not much has changed there and I rarely go any more. I trickled over today to look for plaques, like, award plaques for a project I’m working on and to do some donating. The […]

Ow. Sigh.
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, we have funSo my first time out on my xmas roller skates was a complete disaster. Our alley/driveway is extremely rustic: It may as well be a gravel road. And I should have known better, I should have walked to the end of it and THEN put on my skates, but no, I was feeling ambitious. And […]

ZOMGIT’SSHIT!!?!11
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, fucking weird man, GripingOk, so the latest trend in my ‘hood is vomit: human vomit. It’s everywhere, huge puddles on the sidewalk. It’s the new dog shit, apparently. Lucky us. Nothing like slipping in a lake of partially digested lasagna! But this? This is cute. At least, as cute as a huge dump of shit can be. I […]

Good customer service
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, GripingI bought a new coffee pot and mug a couple weeks ago at Starbucks. The coffee pot is a Bodum-my old one was falling apart and Starbucks has ‘green’ versions. Literally, green. The mug too, it was recycled glass and looked great. Until yesterday, that is, when I poured in water to make tea and […]

Clouds
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, GripingI know I haven’t been updating as regularly as I used to: I haven’t been in the right mood. I try to keep my blog positive (or lightly complainatory) and if I wrote what I’ve really been thinking about lately, your hair would fall out. Or you’d get that glazed, glassy eyed look so many […]

Pillows I have been tempted by
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, haha, hmmmmI actually stared at the first one for a long, long time and thought about a practical joke my parents played on wealthy friends of theirs a million years ago. The next 2 aren’t as cool, but I can tell you that they are very soft. And tempting. And kind of gross. And not tempting […]

Further adventures at V.V.
By Caitlin Jane in Griping, haha, hmmmmYou may well be wondering why I go to Value Village so often, and that’s very reasonable. I’m on the hunt for vintage percale sheets. That is ALL. Well, ok, you never know when you really will find a treasure, I also look at hand knit sweaters and for yarn/crafting supplies. I’ve never found anything […]

PSA
By Caitlin Jane in clothes, GripingWhen I worked at Value Village my parents were dismayed to find out that the store does not wash anything before it’s put out on the floor for sale. “How come it all smells the same, then?” Asked my dad. Because when your stink mixes with thousands of different people’s stink, it all becomes one […]

The 10 things thing
By Caitlin Jane in Blogroll, caitlin's crap, Griping, hmmmm, loveSince I was tagged twice to do this, I figured I’d better get the ball rolling. Mostly I feel like my life is an open book so there won’t be much new stuff in here or any real surprises to anyone, but I’ll try. (And the description of the process, from Ashley’s blog to help […]

The winter blechs
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, Griping, kittyDog owners. You know, the main reason I don’t have a dog is because there’s no way in HELL I would ever pick up dog crap. I know that somehow it would get on me, under my nails or a skid down my sleeve that would go unnoticed. And I think that a lot of […]
