Within the last 15 month I married Dave, graduated with a Ph.D., bought a house, moved to New Jersey, interviewed at multiple colleges, celebrated our anniversary, bought a blue hatchback, explained to multiple insurance places why we haven’t owned a car in three years, got a full-time job as a professor in New York City, bought new boots with my new paycheck, and neglected to write much on this blog.
As you can see, I have a lot of catching up to do and a lot of revamping of this space to do. Especially since I am no longer living in a tiny, Brooklyn apartment. Here I am on the other side of that picture of the Holland Tunnel in my banner. Hello suburbia!

Welcome back! What a difference a year makes, eh?
I have never actually REFINISHED something- I have only painted furniture. However, buy some mineral spirits and try rubbing that on the platter paint. See if that loosens and softens it.

I was pleased to have your blog pop up on my subscription page! Infrequent posting is better than none. Perhaps I should not feel so lame for my absence from blog land. Congratulations on all your accomplishments over the past year!
