I love to read. In our apartment, books outnumber everything in it. I buy them and read them and save them to read again (and again and again). Even if I think it’s awful I will keep the book, just in case I decide to re-read it in the future and find that it’s amazing [...]

It’s Not All Bad
After freaking out for the greater part of Friday I took a step back and realized that part of the reason that I’m so opposed to all these (hypothetical) moves is because this one has been so hard. Hard to find a job; hard to make friends; hard to adjust to living in such close [...]

Wishing for Giraffes
Every so often Wes and I rehash a point of contention that’s not likely to go away or change any time soon. His job is of the not stable variety. Not stable in that we don’t know if he’ll have a job next week; not stable in that we don’t know what city we’ll be [...]

RestauRANT
Today is Wes’ birthday (Happy Birthday), and there is nothing more boring than a Monday birthday. Unless you happen to have to wake up at 2:00 am the following day to make a flight. Which Wes does. So this birthday day is going to be relaxed. Instead, we celebrated this weekend with a game of [...]

It’s Raining Babies
Lately I have been inundated with babies. Wes’ coworker was the first, with a boy last August. After that Wes’ sister’s baby in October. This March a friend from Palo Alto had his first child and today our neighbors brought their daughters home from the hospital.
Babies, they are everywhere. And they are all so adorable. [...]

Masking Tape Makes the World Go Round
I have been nerding out on design blogs lately. More than celebrity gossip and food I have been pouring over the Scoop and etsy and mightygoods and falling in love with all of the delicious things they have.
Like this. Who knew that masking tape could be so fantastic? I sure didn’t. But add some colors and funky designs [...]

Nostalgia and Wine
Last Friday night I stayed up after Wes went to bed to gear up for Saturday work (boooo). And, as I’ve been known to do, I finished the bottle of wine that we had opened for dinner and popped in Milk.
You see, I was kind of in a funk – since when am I not? [...]

Mountains Majesty
Backpacking is tough. Don’t get me wrong, I expected it to be tough, what with carrying a 50-60 pound pack and hiking your way to 2,500 feet, then down to 1,500 feet before stopping for the night, but the reality is always so much more real than what you expect.
But fun. In a completely awful [...]

The Universe’s Way of Telling Me I’m Too Old to Care About My Birthday
I love birthdays. I love them a lot – especially mine. I start counting down the days months before the actual date. I’m known for this – so much so that my last boss actually made me a calendar that counts down the months to my birthday. My thinking is: if [...]

(trying to get) Serious about Chores
When it comes to being organized, I have delusions of grandeur. I like to think that I’m with it when it comes to putting things away in their correct place. And I like to believe that I hate hate hate clutter. Though these are both sort of true, they’re not completely true. I want to [...]
