If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now

I was planning to write a detailed recap of our trip home to California to visit Roth’s family for the holidays, but the only word that comes to mind is “yawn.” As in, do you all really want to read about how many excruciating hours we spent in the car? Or how about the showerhead [...]

These are a few of my favorite things

Posted on December 29, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 4 Comments

In lieu of an update, because I’m simply too tired after yesterday’s 15-hour drive home from California (longest day EVAR), here are a few of my favorite things, courtesy all the wonderful people in my life. I am so very lucky. But so very exhausted. Please excuse my absence a bit longer while I continue [...]

Sierra: Just because you have issues with Christmas, doesn’t mean you have to humiliate your dog for all the world to see.Me: Uh, yes it does.

And it’s just another story caught up in another photograph I found

Posted on December 22, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 12 Comments

Now that most everyone has received their holiday card from us, I want to share with with the rest of the world the picture* we chose to use in our annual greeting. Truth be told, Roth doesn’t always take the best pictures, a la Chandler Bing, but I really love him in this one. His [...]

Kramer: Instead of salmon, he went with bass! He substituted one fish for another!Jerry: Look, you idiot, first of all, it’s Salman, not salmon!

I’m done. I’m so done with work this week, it’s not even funny. But somehow I’ve got to muddle through today and a half day tomorrow before I’m off for 12 days. I think I can manage, but it’s going to be rough, trying to stretch 20 minutes worth of actual work across a day [...]

And you say, I only hear what I want to

Thanks to all for the awesome music suggestions! I haven’t quite decided what I’ll download, but I am leaning toward José González (thanks, Sizzle), because I do love his work with Zero 7, and I think my inner Led Zeppelin would be angry with me if I didn’t give the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss [...]

This new holiday of yours is scratching me right where I itch

Posted on December 18, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 13 Comments

Despite my humbugitude over Christmas this year, I am very much looking forward to some time off from work. One of the really great perks of my company is that they close the office between Christmas and New Years and give us those days paid. That really does make up for the seven months in [...]

Holidazed and confused

Posted on December 17, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 10 Comments

I’m having a particularly hard time dealing with the concept of Christmas this year. For one, Christmas is first and foremost a religious holiday. I am not religious. Therefore, the “reason for the season,” as they say, means absolutely nothing to me. If I choose to participate in it anyway, I am then celebrating the [...]

Say hello to my little friends

Posted on December 15, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I got these salt and pepper shakers years ago, when Roth was still slaving away working as a chef. I was immediately drawn to them because they reminded me so much of Roth and his dad, who just so happens to be his lifelong cooking mentor. Sure, Roth has never had a mustache since I’ve [...]

Totally crushworthy

Posted on December 14, 2007 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I find it totally apropos that my blog crush would leave a comment akin to WTF? on my last post regarding Reveal Your Blog Crush Day. You see, that’s precisely why I enjoy Dori of Strongly Worded. I think we often echo each other’s sentiments when it comes to the weird world that is the [...]
