I’d just like to take a moment to gloat to the world about what I got to do today. And this was my view while I did it: Sierra and I took a hike to Pirates Cove beach this afternoon. What an absolutely magnificent day it was. A little breezy, but warm enough to be [...]

Underwear! Under where?

Posted on January 30, 2005 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

Why must my beagle insist on stealing my dirty underwear out of the laundry hamper (sometimes through the little holes in the basket) and taking them under the bed in which to gleefully chew on? And why must my fiance insist on saying things like, “Wow, she gets more action than I do” whence he [...]

So ugly it’s cute?

Posted on January 29, 2005 | Category: Uncategorized | No Comments

Roth and I went to Pismo Beach today for some Splash Cafe clam chowder and sun soakage. While waiting in the loooong-ass, tourist-filled line at Splash, I saw a cute little chihuahua and said, “That’s a cute little chihuahua over there.” He said, “Yeah, cute in an ugly way.” I laughed way too hard on [...]

Posted on January 22, 2005 | Category: Uncategorized | 4 Comments

Yesterday was Roth’s 27th birthday. Since his special day fell on a Friday this year, I made sure he asked for the night off from the restaurant. This is an extreme rarity in the restaurant business, to get a weekend night off. Usually one must quit, take a leave of absence, get fired or just [...]
