Polymer Anarchy – a guest post

One of my very favourite blog friends is Marilyn, at A Lot of Loves.  She’s awesome and funny and has a really great site.  When she asked me to guest post, I was thrilled and started a post on non-Newtonian liquids.  That’s fun to say.  Non-Newtonian liquids.  This morning I woke up feeling all stabby […]

High Maintenance Girl

Sally: Which am I? Harry: Oh, you’re the worst kind.  You’re high maintenance, but you think you’re low maintenance. Sally: I don’t see that.
