• Awwwww

    How to Get on Taylor Swift’s Christmas List – Christmas, Music News, Real People Stories, Taylor Swift : People.com – This got shared on Notre Dame’s alumni Twitter account since the 3rd grade teacher mentioned is a fellow Domer. Isn’t that sweet? TAYLOR SWIFT IS AWESOME AND I DON’T CARE IF YOU DISAGREE.


  • Fascinating.

    Woodworking Squares You Need to Know | Welcome to the Craftsy Blog! – Someday I’m going to learn woodworking. In the meantime, I like learning about the tools people use for their hobbies. I recommend you read this in Nick Offerman’s voice too for extra Ron Swanson-ness.

    @jchyip I wonder if this is why I have to turn the radio down when I parallel park. 🙂


    @jchyip Exactly. My drivers ed teacher must’ve insisted on silence.


    @drwitty_knitter I grew up in Amish country. They’re definitely not healthy supermen, and they eat the same crap as everybody else mostly.


    Damn. Just realised intarsia got removed from RAS knitting comp categories this year. There goes that blue ribbon.


    Easter Show knitting comp officially entered. Come at me, bro. http://t.co/4eaCnifFbL



  • Whole30: Day 5

    Day 5 wasn’t great. When I woke up, I felt really dizzy like I had vertigo or I was drunk. I think it was due to low blood sugar, or possibly the fact that I went from eating a lot of crap to very, very healthy all at once. I’ve started snacking a bit more, and that seems to have helped.

    Breakfast: Black coffee, roasted almonds, dried mango
    Lunch: Leftover steak, asparagus, and green beans
    Snack: More almonds
    Dinner: Cracklin’ Chicken, tomato and basil salad, and steamed carrots

    @drunkenmadman Nice catch. Thanks.


    @liamvhogan That describes us. But the only way we were able to buy a house is because we lucked into a cheap place.


    @liamvhogan And had family able to loan us the deposit so we could take advantage of the opportunity.


    @Ascasewwen Pretty!
