Badass Ladies of History: Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Ruth Bader Ginsberg (or RBG, as I affectionately call her in my mind) is a serious badass on the U.S. Supreme Court. Seriously, if I were a poet, I would write an ode to her. Instead, I’m going to give you a bulleted list of her awesomeness.
Read MoreThis OT is (Slowly) Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Ah, vacation. I’m pretty sure there’s an equation that shows the inverse ratio of vacation enjoyment to time required for reality re-adjustment. Wow, that was a really nerdy way to say that going back to work after a few days off is rough.
Read MoreThis OT is on Vacation!
Good evening, Persephoneers! I am writing this post from the beauty-full Jersey Shore! This is not the vacation that is referenced in the title, though. Actually quite the opposite. This is a working trip, and boy, are we working.
Read MoreThis OT is Expanding the Family!
No, not in the way that my father-in-law has made mention of at a family gathering in the last year.

We Try It: Buying a Wedding Dress Online
‘m going to begin this review with a little timeline. Mr. qSS and I got engaged in August of last year. We had been together for four years, and lived together for more than three of them. We didn’t see much point in a long engagement. We probably would have been married before the year was out, but he needed …

This OT is Having a W(h)ine and Cheese Kinda Night
You ever have one of those days where every emotion is right there beneath the surface, just waiting for something inoccuous to bring it spewing out? Yeah, it’s been one of those kinda days.
Read MoreThis OT is Blamin’ it on the Rain
As I’m writing this, we are in the midst of yet another downpour. This week has been rain, rain, and more rain. Oh, and a dash of oppressive heat to boot. It is officially Summer in Pennsylvania. Part of me is very excited about this, and the other part is cranky because we don’t have air conditioning and it’s a …
Read MoreThis OT Wants to Dance!
It’s Wednesday yet again! Funny how that happens, isn’t it? By the time this posts, I can assure you all that I’m fast asleep due to working late last night and then being up at 4 a.m. to go back to work (the joys of retailing!)
Read MoreThis OT Just Wants to Bang on the Drums
Good evening, ladies and gents! We’ve survived the first part of the week and we’re on the home stretch toward the weekend!
Read MoreThis OT is About to Get Hitched!
Ahoy, Persephoneers! So far, this week has been filled with 10-hour work days, arranging payments, finalizing flowers, and some seriously frantic cleaning. Is it really only Wednesday? Or rather, omigoawd, it’s Wednesday ALREADY?!?
Read MoreThis OT is a Fool for Love
Maybe I’m just a fool for the Cardigans. This is yet another gem from my work’s Muzak playlist, which I will be hearing often in the next nine days that I have to work! Here’s hoping that y’all have “normal” schedules and are most of the way through your week!

Easy Chicken Vindaloo
I don’t know if this is the norm, but I live in the sticks, so when I want Indian food, I expect to pay about $45 for dinner (for myself and Future Mister, and there’s always leftovers, but that is still a bit pricey). So, what’s a girl to do when she’s in the mood for Indian food, but it’s …
Read MoreWednesday Night OT: Getting Over the Mid-week Slump
Is it just me, or do Wednesdays just drag on forever? They are usually one of my long days at work, and when I get home, I’m just ready for my jammies and comfy socks.
Read MoreThis OT is Driving with the Windows Down
Ah, the first really lovely week of spring. It brings back such memories! Of driving around for hours with my BFF with the windows down, the music, blaring, and then heat on because while it was fairly warm, there was still enough chill in the air that it got a little nippy at 65 mph. Oh, and memories of gas …
