- The Farmer’s Market: Week 2, Entry #3
Ok, so last week was my first trip to the farmer’s market in Addison. It was a bit of a learning experience for me, so here are a couple things to note: Buy with purpose. I think last time I bought way too much stuff for 2 people to consume in a week. Walk around [...]
- The Economics of Being a Locavore
Note: This is based on my trip from last weekend. I’m planning on perusing the market tomorrow to see what I can find. When it comes down to it, I’m still on a budget. I’ll admit, I didn’t think of keeping track of this as I was out there shopping, so my numbers aren’t exact, [...]
- Life as a Dallas Locavore
For the last several years, I’ve had an debate going on in my head between eating local, organic foods vs. eating cheaply. Food plays a huge part in my life, which is evident in my waistline. It’s always been a point of social contact from when my mom showed me how to scramble my first [...]
- Only From a Mother
Life as an unmarried person is a little weird especially when it comes to filling out life insurance forms. Leave it to my mom to make it all better. Me: Hey mom, I’m filling out my life insurance forms and I was going to make you my primary beneficiary. I just need your date of [...]
- Two Things That Should Never Be Combined Into a Sentence
Me: I think I’m going to limit myself to only one frivolous purchase and that’s going to be the Magic Mouse for my laptop. Jabari: Wow, this must be some mouse if it’s considered a frivolous purchase. Me: Well, for me, yes. My dad has one and it’s sexxxxxxxy! Jabari: [Pause] You should’ve really thought that [...]

- How Kristine Got Her Groove Back
Ok, so, confession time: I’ve been a naughty scrapbooker. I haven’t been scrapbooking as much as I’ve been acquiring supplies. I think a lot of scrapbookers and paper crafters have gone through this phase. Although I will go ahead and toot my horn and say that last weekend was the first time I’d purchased ANY [...]

"Something tells me you’re not licensed to do this. Show me your papers.", originally uploaded by krisalis903. While giving Izzie an in-between-haircuts haircut, she gives me this look that makes me think she’s mentally questioning my dog grooming skills.
- The Only Thing Standing Between Me and My Love of Mayonnaise
I’m going to start this post off by admitting that, yes, I know I don’t take care of myself as well as I really should. Last year’s stress-induced emergency room visit is a great example of that. So as a result, I’ve decided to face my impending old age and start taking better care of [...]
- Here Comes the Funcooker!
So after the stress-filled week I had last week, all I wanted was a weekend to decompress. And decompress, I did. I spent most of the weekend with my butt planted firmly on my couch (sometimes laptop in hand, sometimes not) watching a marathon of episodes from Arrested Development, 30 Rock, and The Office. Whoever [...]
