Nix is a 20 something princess trying to survive in this crazy world. Come along for the ride!
This is my blog. It's mostly used to post my photos, but there's also the occasional cooking adventure (usually paired with photos), as well as the occasional post on my opinion of something controversial. I've got an awesome boyfriend and too many pets and wonderful friends. We just bought our first house and will be unpacking boxes for the rest of our lives. It's fun in my world.

I needed a mental break from job hunting today, so we decided to head over to Baltimore’s historic Lexington Market for lunch and some wandering/people watching. The food was incredible and we plan on going back soon!
This is probably my photo-heaviest post yet, with 57 lovely shots for you to oogle over.

That title makes this post sound like much more than it really is. I brought my camera and then didn’t take a single photo until we were on our way home. This was the first time I’d played with the Rebel while hanging out the window of the truck like a dog. I was very impressed with how well it performed on the move. Lots of photos here and most of them don’t have captioned, so you’re welcome to just browse through them all : )

Today, Ned would have been 91 years old. If you can, fit in some ice cream on his behalf. He would have loved you for it.
Happy Birthday, Grandpa. I miss you every day.

Since we moved in, I’ve been dying to paint the yoga room. I finally got my wish. We picked red.

“But, Nix,” you’re probably thinking, “Don’t you all LIVE in Baltimore?” Technically, no. We live north of Baltimore. This particular day, we were meeting our friend Adam and his wife Laura for lunch at the Inner Harbor.

So last month I was downstairs when Jeff came to tell me there was a little cat on the porch, scared of the loud, disgusting dogs next door. Long story short, and she adopted us. We’ve been through some ups and downs, including a stomach issue that was coming out of both ends at what point, but we’re doing well now. She was fixed on Tuesday, and has taken her place in our bedroom (She is officially the bedroom cat.) with pride.
This is a VERY image heavy post. She’s just so damned photogenic.

One of the niftier things about our house is that the master bedroom and yoga room were both built with “bonus” pushouts. They’re like bay windows, but they’re square instead of half of a hexagon.
Months ago, I’d decided that I wanted to paint the walls of the pushout a different color than the other walls in the bedroom. We didn’t have the main color for the walls yet (We have it now, although I haven’t used it yet.), but I decided that the color I used on two of the walls in Jeff’s bathroom as the accent color.
As always, I was SO happy with the POP and the contrast of the accent color against the white trim. I can’t wait to see it with the main color. I was also really thrilled with how well the color compliments the purple of our bedding. The curtains were originally in the yoga room, but we decided at some point we didn’t want them there anymore. It was a happy coincidence that they go with the bedding too!
Do you want to see it? Of course you do! As always, if you’re looking at this post on an RSS reader, you’ll need to come to the post itself to see the photos. Enjoy! Continue Reading »

YES YES YES.
I just fixed my gallery plug-in FINALLY.
Prepare for an onslaught of photo posts. They’ve been stockpiling in the absence of an available way to caption them all.
YAY!

Sorry for the lack of substance of late, readers. I had another computer take the plunge into the vast chasm of computer hell, my gallery still isn’t working properly, I’m still not working, I’m painting another wall, two of the cats are sick, I put up a backsplash in the kitchen, etc. etc. etc..
Long story short, I haven’t forgotten about my world here. I’ve decided to end the PPADP, since I’ve now missed like a million years. I’ve not abandonded the book blog, I just didn’t have anything from the library. My only copy of one of my favorite books finaly disintegrated so I couldn’t read that, but I finally picked up something from the library, so I’ll post about that when I finish it.
There are always other projects going on, but come on. I’m the queen of ADD. What do you…
…hey, shiny!
