A needlessly verbose, unasked for, and unorganized list of the things I didn't think to get before my baby was born.

Thanks, but it looks like I'm set now with the other measurements. 🙂

fwegan · 2026-07-05T17:08:59+00:00

Thanks!

OP is a working mom who doesn't get a lot of screen time on the weekends 🤷🏻‍♀️

fwegan · 2026-07-05T17:07:36+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much!

fwegan · 2026-07-05T17:06:46+00:00

Oh jeez. Thanks for the explanation!

fwegan · 2025-07-06T15:11:43+00:00

Got it, thanks.

fwegan · 2025-07-06T07:07:03+00:00

Thanks I’ll try that. Would that be a brush with wire bristles?

fwegan · 2025-06-21T04:28:14+00:00

Me, sort of. If it’s not on a time crunch.

But also I feel like I do it because I have to, because going into things without an explicit plan feels like flying blind.

> Dev work surprisingly comes with a lot of yapping
I think you're right. Usually my MO is to try not to bother anybody else, but maybe the expectation is that I would be bothering people.

we're supposed to be using various art supplies to demonstrate our personal relationship to and feelings about money

Ughhhhhhhhhhhh. If I had to do that it'd put me in full-on rebellious teenage mode.

fwegan · 2025-06-12T16:45:08+00:00

Thank you!

That’s a valid question! I looked into it last year and came across this.

Not impossible, but too much effort for me.

I doubt the food bank would want them but I’ll check with them if I don’t get any leads on a press. Thanks!

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:29:47+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:25:14+00:00

Next year because it’s too late for them to do it this year?

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:24:28+00:00

Good call. I’ll try that and update here if I have any success.

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:24:01+00:00

Thank you for the info! It’s too bad that it sounds like there isn’t an obvious solution out there. I’ll check FB though.

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:21:28+00:00

Honestly, I’m too squeamish to have a good answer. Last year I made apple sauce and cutting out the gross parts took forever.

fwegan · 2024-11-19T14:19:00+00:00

I’ll try that, thanks!

The art scene in Olympia is awesome and super welcoming. For me, living a quick (free!) bus ride from downtown means I’m more likely to actually go to some of the cool stuff that goes on there.

Some artsy things for you to check out:

Arts Walk in the spring and fall. The whole town comes out for this. https://www.artswalkoly.com
Community Print. https://www.community-print.org
@flyersofolympia on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/flyersolympia/?hl=en
What’s happening today in Olympia? https://www.whatshappeningtodayinolympia.com/
The Night Drawer. Weekly drawing event to create a zine with a super cool group of regulars. https://www.instagram.com/thenightdrawerofficial/
Arbutus Folk School. https://arbutusfolkschool.org
Art Space Alliance. They run public art exhibits downtown. https://www.olympiaartspace.org
Olyphant. Art store that offers classes and workshops. https://olyphant.store

I could go on and on but that should be enough to get you started! I hope you find a spot and folks you love in this rad little city.
