Nothing Ever Happens on My Street
Reporting on the minutiae of the day
The Week in Dollar Store Decorating: I appreciate Halloween, but I don't really go all out with costumes and decorating. When my apartment building announced a door decroating contest I wasn't terribly interested. I don't know how to stick stuff to the door, or how to put together a respectable display. But, I do like… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #72
Monday, September 24 - Sunday, September 30 The Week in Domesticity Failure: As I cooked and snacked this week, I ran out of panko (no big deal), pickles (a small deal), peanut butter (um, getting shaky), sharp cheddar cheese (feeling woozy), and then...and then...I ran out of bacon.

Sunday, July 1 - Saturday, July 7 This week in Lost Holidays: July 4th fell on Wednesday, inserting 1/2 a weekend right smack in the middle of the work week. Almost all the locally owned restaurants downtown were closed Wednesday, with a few adding Tuesday or Thursday to their employee vacation. So, finding a… Continue reading What I Learned This Week: #58
