Neat DIY storage projects…they seem to be mostly desk/office storage but perhaps the ideas could be expanded and applied to other areas. Totally makes me wish I had some vintage suitcases lying around. Unfortunately, my grandmother’s suitcases were super loud with hard plastic casing and political stickers. Don’t get me wrong…it’s a look…but it’s a LOT Of look.

Got some stuff to sell? Looking for cash in the attic? Here’s a how-to for you. There is an serious art to hosting a good yard sale and making some cash. Having plenty of change is GREAT advice. A bunch of my friends are going to get together and have a yard sale when the weather warms up a bit. If you’re looking to get a competitive price on individual items, don’t forget about Craigslist and Ebay which have MUCH bigger markets. It’s a little obvious but sometimes people set up Yard Sales thinking they are going to get top dollar for their treasures and that’s not what usually happens. But they are a fabulous way to recycle what you think is junk! Or stuff you just don’t have space for. Happy hunting and selling.

You’re recycling newspaper AND creating great containers for your seedlings! I accidentally poured sprite all over mine yesterday…I was trying to ‘recycle’ water…it might work out GREAT…it might kill them all. Only time will tell. Anyhoo, if you haven’t started your seedlings yet, you might be a little behind but you can catch up if you start them today. Here’s the Wikihow.
It totally combines two of my favorite things-drinking and drawing! PLUS it’s made of trash basically. Who doesn’t love trash? Well, I actually don’t really love trash but I’ve got plenty of cardboard and can find some drainage pipes. NOT a problem. This seems simple enough for me to handle on my own.
And here’s Martha’s salad table. This one involves a little more space and some elbow grease but the payoff sounds amazing! And the return is well worth the effort and cost. If you’ve got the space, it’s a brilliant way to grow your own salad greens. Nothing beats fresh food!
I’m not sure that everyone really needs a bag to pack their lunches…but this one is pretty cool. I think I want to make one just for picnics…because I picnic so often…like twice…since 1992… But I live NEXT to a park now so I am GOING to picnic more often now! Anyhoosle, it’s a neat little DIY and everyone will be super jealous of you at work.

Into DIY projects? Looking to attack a project on a budget and from a different angle? This site is great for all sorts of different stuff. In an effort to save some $$ on plants this year, I’ve decided to try and start flowers from seeds. Naturally, there’s a right way and a wrong way so I headed to the nets to find answers and stumbled upon the Instructables site. I’m probably late to this game but I LOVE it. Want to save on your electric bill? Head over to the Save Energy section. Into DIY art projects? There’s a section for you too! There’s a little something for everyone so check it out and let me know how your projects work out and I’ll let you know how my turn at roof top gardening goes.
So wrong it just might be right…actually, there’s no way in hell this is right. It’s just so clearly an abomination. The short story is that it is an unholy creation that can be assembled with two items from the McDonalds Dollar Menu. You take a McChicken sandwich and put inside two double cheeseburgers. The long story is lovingly chronicled by the Eat Me Daily blog and is totally worth a read…as are a few of the youtube clips of people ordering them. This is probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to America…but it’s also well over 1000 calories for $2.16. It makes me want to buy McDonalds stock and then go set one on fire…all at the same time. Conflicted doesn’t quite cover it. Is it wrong that I now have an INTENSE craving for McDonalds…but also feel a little sick to my stomach even thinking about it?

The kids at the New Yorker have made a charming list of (insert your favorite title for the catagory five financial shit storm we’re weathering) drinks. I’ve had Trickle-Down Punch before…maybe even last night:

Let last drops of liquor trickle from spent bottles at recycling center into plastic cup. Serve with shame.
