Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun, you don’t stare at it. It’s too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away.

I recently discovered something almost as frustrating as and decidedly more humiliating than shopping for jeans. How about shopping for a bra? I’m not really a girly girl. At any given time, I tend to have just two bras, one in black and one in nude, which I rotate for many, many months, until the [...]

Question: On a scale of 1 to 10, how Stevie Nicks am I today? With the boots and the sheer flowing dress? Or, am I more Laura Ingalls Wilder? You be the judge.
Sprung out

Whenever people ask me about Seattle, inevitably they always want to know about the weather, if it’s really as bad as they’ve heard. Usually, I try to accentuate the positive: the summers are phenomenal. And that’s the truth. Seattle summers are so breathtakingly fabulous, it can almost make you forget about the previous and impending [...]
Green day

I find it pretty ironic that the day I scrape together two crinkly dollar bills and enough change from the console of my car to buy a $2.99 Subway Daily Special is the same day my boss finally decides to reveal my new title (no longer assistant, now associate, whatever that means!) AND pay raise. [...]

I haven’t done a meme in a long time. Here’s one I stole from Julie. Name 10 songs, and tell the story of each. 1. Most frequently played in iTunes (or the equivalent).“Rewrite” by Sia. This might be because it’s the first track on her album Colour the Small One, and I love that album [...]
Right now, this is a job. If I advance any higher, this would be my career. And if this were my career, I’d have to throw myself in front of a train.*

Because we had two people leave our department last week (one by choice, one not by choice), we hired a temp to help us out for a couple weeks. Which in theory sounds great, but actually is pretty annoying. Since I’m the assistant, the duty of finding enough stuff for him to do for eight [...]
Fever pitch

Hell must’ve frozen over, because I took my first-ever sick day at this job. But don’t think the snifflies, sneezies or pukies finally caught up with me. I’m home sick today because I developed this hideous fever blister on my mouth AND underneath my nose this weekend. It’s oh-so-attractive, let me tell you. Really, I [...]

I narrowly averted a St. Patrick’s potluck yesterday, thanks to my friend Shannon, who called in the nick of time, asking if I wanted to go to sushi. Hell yes! We noshed on a crunchy tempura roll and a rainbow roll, but then my stomach was not so happy. Probably didn’t help that the second [...]

I can’t believe I was able to come up with 10 NEW things about myself. It was tedious, and some of the things border on really random, but for better or worse, this list outta give you something to comment on. For the previous eight 10 Things lists, go here. 1. I’m not a fan [...]

I’m woefully overdue for an update on my life’s goings-on, so here goes. I’ve been coming into work really early the last couple days, simply because I like the solace of the silence before all my co-workers arrive. I’ve discovered I’m much more productive in the morning hours, which is a surprise even to me, [...]
