3: Hosts
http://messica-jessica.blogspot.com/2011/09/hosts.html
When my train arrives to Winschoten Station I am a bundle of nerves. My new home is only 30 minutes from where I stand ,. And I will be meeting my hosts for the first time. I walk through a sea of bicycles to the road in front of the station, searching. In all contact I had kept with this farm the notes were signed at the end, "Greetz Arthur and Benedetta." This signature ,. At almost the exact same time that the rainbow man says, "Jessica? And "Are you hungry? When we get to the farm, after the drive, h...

3: The Deer and The Eagle
http://messica-jessica.blogspot.com/2012/05/deer-and-eagle.html
The Deer and The Eagle. It's raining. Hard. The first rain the province of Groningen has seen in almost three weeks, and it hasn't let up all morning. We've just said goodbye. Each drop of rain seems to provoke the formation of tears that are already in my eyes. I am walking toward the train tracks, resisting the urge to look back. She yells my name, "Jessica! Later I told her I thought her personality would more closely be matched to a deer - elegant, soft, peaceful, calm in nature, curious and quiet...

The Broke Brog: Floating Shelves
http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012/02/floating-shelves.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Storefront has sadly closed, but my benefit from their fixture sale was vast. I picked up a clothing tagger for cheap, a bag of markers to support my marker habit, and among other things some floating shelves. There are only two, a few feet in length, but they are just what I've always wanted. We stuck them up on our big, bare wall in the bedroom and I can't wait to turn it into a rotating "gallery," as tiny as it may be. One step closer to my dream home! Easy DIY Drip Art.

The Broke Brog: Bedroom Makeover
http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012/02/bedroom-makeover.html
Thursday, February 16, 2012. There are no excuses to not. Tackle nearly every item on your project list when you have 2.5 weeks at home with no obligations. This is my situation, still at the top end of the 2.5 weeks my boss is in India. We painted much of our apartment in the first couple of months here, which I shared long ago in this post. Thank goodness things change. Please divert your eyes away from the paint on the ceiling! I am diligent about edges only for the first wall and then inevitably get ...

http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012/02/absence.html
Monday, February 6, 2012. Excuse the silence around here. I haven't been well for the past few days, and laying on the couch watching Intervention doesn't make for very exciting blog content. I'm feeling more like myself now, so I'll come back on Wednesday with some fresh content. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Broke Brog: Eyeowa
http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012/02/eyeowa.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. While in Iowa over the weekend I partook in some harmless civil disobedience and goofy vandalism. I have tried many times to do this in Chicago, but it's difficult to be ANYWHERE without being within someone's eye line. Thank goodness for Iowa. Concept from www.eyebombing.com.

The Broke Brog: January 2012
http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. A new year, a new look. One box of darkdarkdark brown dye. A good trim and asymmetrical bangs via razor comb. Some white and pink embroidery floss. Earrings from my favorite jewelry artist. This super-easy new make-up trick. To witch in exactly one year! Friday, January 27, 2012. I bought these matching vintage lamps at the same time as the lamp in this previous post. I suppose the extra cost was worthwhile, as I have been grinning at them each time I walk past for four days now.

The Broke Brog: Weekend Goodies
http://thebrokebrog.blogspot.com/2012/02/weekend-goodies.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. On Saturday, the handsome guy and I had our first day date in a while. "A while" being a couple of weeks, because we really wish every day was date day. While I've been graced with 2.5 weeks off from work, Jake continues to go to school and work, all day/every day. These special days are few and far between now, so we made the most of it. Bought mussels and shrimp from our favorite fish monger. To make po' boys and steamed mussels with wine and soy chorizo. 2 The Boring Store.
