The First Step
In the vein of uncomplicating things, I have this TypePad account ripe for posting and publishing. Self-hosting is a laudable goal but I'm far too distracted by set-up. So hello. Here I am. More is to come. Continue reading

A New Start
I decided to start a new blog. Yes, I already have like three blogs. And no, it doesn't even have a fancy design or it's own domain. I thought maybe I would just start typing and see how it goes. When I was writing for nanowrimo, I realized how much... Continue reading

I slipped into a hot bath tonight, thinking of you. All those moments, lost but not lost. Beads of sweat sliding down my face like tears. I looked up and blinked blearily. The water was cold. Time marches on without us. Continue reading

Greetings From The Motherland
I just wanted to pop in really quickly and say hi! Also, to just let you know that I miss you guys betam (that's Amharic (Ethiopian) for a lot). All of my internet access has been limited to cafes and hotels so I'm guessing it will be a good stretch before I get to update this again, if I do at ...
yes, yes, i agree with the cake baking and how much better it is from scratch and how it should be for occasions.
i love your newfound cooking and sharing! looking forward to texting you mid-store for more recipe help soon! :)

Melanie in the Kitchen
A few days ago, I decided that I wanted to bake a cake from scratch this weekend, and yesterday, I did (how's that for follow-through?). Sort of. I made cupcakes. Pink Lemonade Cupcakes, to be specific. They were delicious. The recipe only yields nine cupcakes, which is still too many if you...
it's so hard. work bullshit is the most insidious kind of bullshit in my opinion, it just seeps in slowly and suddenly you're drowning at it. I both love and love to mock the 7 Habits (while muttering about damn mormons under my breath). But I took a winter course on it in college, and the principles are totally right on and stick with me. Think I might need to go pull out my book tonight.
but i think awareness is the first and most important step, so i'm glad you're seeing it and backing away slowly!

refocusing
I'm fairly certain that most of us walk around in a cloud of self-important, self-rightous haze. We, naturally, see the world from our own skewed perspective, which - for better or worse - colors our perception of events around us. I (think I) do my best to be very aware of this as I go about my...
You are indeed the best food blogger. also the best blogger of all times. I actually wish more recipes were like this. You know, do some stuff then eat the shit out of it. Unless you are making a souffle or Cassoulet D'Artagnan (which i found by googling martha stewart and fancy french) then you probably have a pretty good idea how to make the damn thing and just needed some inspiration.
in conclusion, pls to be getting your own tv show so you can inspire me triply while i chat with you, read your blog AND watch your reruns on hgtv. kthx!

I made you a taco in a lettuce bowl
I thought I'd start off by showing you this: Foxy thinks that my mom's coffee table makes a great dog bed. On the other hand, my mom thinks it's perfectly fine for dogs to walk and sleep on her coffee table, so it all works out. She has a history with this kind of decision making - it started w...
i wonder if it's exhausting, being so awesome? that's rhetorical, as i'm sure it is (just look at foxy and dixie) :)
i bought my tacos from my neighbors, but i still like to think we're twinsies.

Behold, lunch: I'm totally keeping up with my promise to eat all my leftovers. Awesome.

What I Wore
I don't guess that I've quite figured out how I'm handling posting about what I wore. I can't decide if I genuinely care enough about writing about it here, but I'm definitely still taking pictures daily. And let me tell you - it's so helpful. I often reference those photos to see what I wore a ...

Bet you never thought this would happen.
And yet, it has. I've been putting this off for such a long time that it has almost become bigger than itself, like these things do, so I decided that the only way to prevent that from happening (because it inevitably leads to things fizzling out before they even get started) is to jump in with b...

Are you going to go to Wordpress, which uses the same editor as the one you are so adamant against? Or to Squarespace with the old editor that has the spacing and crashing issues? Or perhaps you'll just roll your own custom CMS and show TypePad how easy it is?

The new editor: Better than ever, thanks to you!

I no longer work at SixApart, so I speak here as a paying customer, just like everyone else.
Even when I did work for SixApart, I didn't have to "approve of" everything that was implemented, but I do know both sides of the story. I see the bitching about things as they are, I see the bitching if things get changed, I see the bitching if things go back, and I see a lot of people who feel entitled.
FWIW Wordpress uses the same base editor as the new Typead editor that you're all bitching about. Drupal doesn't have a built in text editor. Squarespace uses the same base editor as TypePad's old one, and has the same issues we heard about so many times. So while everyone can talk all they want about taking their toys and leaving, you may want to consider that SixApart employees do actually give a shit and TRY to help everyone, despite company decisions outside their control. Good luck finding that elsewhere.

Thanks for listening! Generally no one like change, but it's nice to feel heard.
