I come back to you as a married lady. Yes, the Muppet and I took the plunge on 10/10/09 in the frosty waters of the Pacific. Another testiment to my philosophy that one should 'never say never'. My people, the lovely ladies of my past present and future tossed us an amazing reception/celebration to commemorate the moment. The whole process ( Read more... )

So I have been playing with this Facebook thing and finding some folks from the way back. What I am really confused about and never really noticed before...is that all these people were really into high school. They never seemed like they were back in the day but maybe that was just because I wasn't. Was I the only one who wanted to get the hell ( Read more... )

Hello all! It is my fault all this snow in Seattle ground the city to a halt. I did it and freely admit to it. I wished and prayed for a peaceful, drama free, stress free holiday season and the snow granted me my request ( Read more... )

The kid is doing her senior project. She has started her own photo business. Today she got back some pictures she took for a parent of a classmate. She began this project because she keeps being asked to do portraiture and has been paid many times already for doing it. The shots I saw today were truly astounding.

Beginnings and endings and the crossing over of the two and all the inbetweens ( Read more... )

I have been working hard on the garden lately. Yesterday was spent mostly cleaning up, which sounds easier than it was. I had to haul sod out of the wheelbarrel, fill it again with piles of sod, move that to the yard waste bin, move the bin to the curb (no small feat when it is full of sod), empty the truck of the LAST load of dirt, fill the ( Read more... )

I am sore from all the gardening/landscaping I have been doing. I am replacing my lawn with various ground covers very slowly. The weather has been weird of late and grey today. I am not motivated to go deal with it. Between the aggressive crows and the wacky weather, nothing really wants to come out this spring and I can't blame them ( Read more... )
