Hanger tea – because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup

Typewriter teapot – God, yes. I just love that this [...]

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

Embarrassingly girlish post

June 28th, 2009Posted by katiesol

I’m afraid there’s only one vaguely irritating internet-word to employ whilst perusing the following pictures: ‘Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’

Everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio
