Dear Snow,You really shouldn’t have. I mean, after all the hurtful things I said about you, all that vitriolic spewing, you just had to go and kill me with kindness, didn’t you. What did you hand to me on a shining platter? A SNOW DAY! As in, the office is closed, don’t risk your neck [...]

Disappearing world

You know that snow I was so enamored with yesterday? The glistening snow that had me all twitterpated? The soft snow that made everything seem so fresh and sweet? Well, that snow can just go to hell now!Seriously, the snow is not cute anymore. Especially since it took me more than three hours to drive [...]

Hazy shade of winter

What is so thrilling about the first snow of the season? Roth asked this today, after we got home from a grand afternoon of shopping, only to discover that the slushy rain-snow we experienced on the drive back from the University Village was actually sticking up at our house in North Seattle. Maybe it’s because [...]

I love my husband — reason # 82

Posted on November 23, 2006 | Category: I Love My Husband | 5 Comments

He’s got mad organizational skillz, and he isn’t afraid to use them. I got up this Thanksgiving morning, after Roth had already been up for more than an hour, stumbled into the kitchen to see what was what regarding food preparation. And also because I could hear that the tea kettle was about to go [...]

I had to go see about a turkey*

Posted on November 22, 2006 | Category: Uncategorized | 7 Comments

The things I do for love. I got up early today, because I had to make sure I was at Central Market right when they opened to snag an elusive Diestel turkey. Except that, when I called this morning to make sure they had them, they didn’t, and they said they weren’t getting anymore. Cue [...]

10 Things, vol. 8: the Thanksgiving edition

Posted on November 22, 2006 | Category: 10 Things | 11 Comments

As much energy as I expend hating Halloween, I expend just as much energy loving Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday ever. See, there’s no pressure to buy gifts, you get time off from work and eating all day long is the primary goal. Love. It. Last year, Roth and I made a traditional Thanksgiving [...]

I’m still kind of in shock about this, but Sierra had a play date with another dog that didn’t end in a complete disaster. Well, sort of. She was still a territorial, aggressive alpha-bitch, even in someone else’s house, but there were moments, albeit fleeting, where she exhibited signs of wanting to play nice with [...]

Hair-binger

I got my hair cut again today, this time at an uber-trendy downtown salon called Vain that everyone and their mother kept raving about. What got me to try the place was their $15 first-time haircut special. Granted, they let the apprentice stylists cut your hair for that cheap, but still. $15 works well with [...]

Doll parts

Ever have an “off” day? That was my yesterday. I kept tripping on the carpet at work, and then suddenly, as I was preparing to sit down in my fancy ergonomic office chair with the swively armrests, as I do many, many times per day, I lost my footing and the chair rolled back just [...]

Sheepish in Seattle

Posted on November 13, 2006 | Category: Uncategorized | 9 Comments

Ahem. You know all that car drama from earlier in the week? Well, I think we fixed the problem. And it cost us Zilch. Zero. Nada. Heh. Thanks to a brilliant suggestion from Roth’s parents, we took the car to a muffler specialist yesterday for a second opinion (why didn’t we think of that?).They put [...]
