This is Indiana

Dear Indiana, It has been a lovely two years.  This one’s for you. Me

Homemade Pay It Forward 2012 – #1: Family, Hearts, and the Postal System

In January, I posted on my Facebook wall. Five people commented and I promptly forgot all about it.  In all fairness…I was just a tad busy finishing up my last semester of grad school. At the beginning of May I remembered I had some crafting to do, so I started working.  I finished two of…

Frodo Lives, Just Ask Spock

This video is a perfect ending to this Geekery week.  (Sorry about the poor quality, but it was the best I could find.) Somewhere Sheldon Cooper’s head exploded with the greatness that is Leonard Nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins and the hilarity of this video.  I just wish I could read all their buttons. Plus,…

Redneck Fabulous

Before I moved for grad school I made a bucket list of things I wanted to do while I was here.  One of those things was to take a road trip to Nashville, TN.  I have never lived this far south and it sounded like a lot of fun.  Well, after two years and graduation, some…
