I'm irritated - I have to go on a press check this morning and though I was already being pessimistic about the printer sticking with the schedule I still got pissed when they called and postponed it another couple hours. Why is it every single time I get something printed they "have a problem with the plate?" This has to be a story because if ( Read more... )

Thanks, Mo, for your inspirational stories today and the link to Caroline Myss' web site. She rocks the hizzouse, yo. I needed a dose of this type of thinking - have been stagnating a bit and feeling disconnected and out of touch with anything outside my little world of working and watching TV. Those reality shows are sucking my life's energy. OK, ( Read more... )

John wrote and recorded a musical homage to the song Pat wrote in junior high, "Best for the Best," and that Ewoks song we used to make Lisa sing for us when she was in 5th grade and they had to sing it in music class. He combined the two and it starts with this awesome moody orchestral Twin Peaks type thing that seques into the rock and/or roll ( Read more... )

Oh my god, the world has finally created something specifically for me - www.celebmatch.com. I finally know who my ultimate celebrity loves should be, based on our "biorhythms", and it's weird that I never think about these people - shouldn't I know on some soul level who I'm compatible with? So, look out Keanu Reeves and Charlie Sheen, cuz we are ( Read more... )

I'm sooo tired - probably from watching the finale of Paradise Hotel last night - it was way too exciting and it was kinda hard to go to sleep afterward. I'm SO HAPPY Keith and Charla won and Keith is so great for splitting his money with Tara and I think Charla will change her mind and give Dave half cuz she wouldn't have made it without him ( Read more... )

The fog has lifted but it's been overcast all day. This weekend it was 80 freaking degrees! It was a fab slice of summer and it might've been the last one before the next 9 months of drizzle. Fog + drizzle = what I hate. Why do I insist on living in Seattle? Yes, it's beautiful and yes everything is green because it's so moist but that's also why ( Read more... )

It is totally fogged over this morning. Foggy mornings will probably forever take me back to junior high... walking down the street to the bus stop to wait in the dark with the cold moist air making my hair frizz up... the tension of trying to casually meander to the right place to stand and wait (not too close to the tough kids who sit in the back ( Read more... )

Our lawn is coming in - and it happened overnight! Friday I was thinking we shouldn't bother watering anymore cuz the seeds weren't going to grow and Saturday morning we had our first little grass hairs sprouting up. I can't decide if the hairs are cute or if they gross me out. They're all super-thin and scattered and something about seeing these ( Read more... )

SO excited for the weekend. It's going to be sunny and 70 degrees and perfect. Our grass babies aren't growing and the lack of rain is to blame I'm sure. We'll try again later ( Read more... )

John is now 36 and it's freaking me out a little. We are past the point of joking about being "thirtysomethings" cuz now we are really and truly out of our 20s and it's not a joke to be over 30 - it's just reality. And I don't mind one bit being out of my 20s. I thought they were fun at the time and I felt like an adult and dreaded turning 30 from ( Read more... )
