Trestin and I were on our way home from his parents' house and looking at all of the branches that have fallen from the heavy snow and ice. It sparked the discussion on my worry about my car and how it only has liability insurance so it's not protected if a branch/tree falls on it. A great thing to realize as my little car is parked under our ( Read more... )

We have several inches of snow in the yard and more is coming down now, although it's closer to freezing rain at this point. Power went out for a short while this morning. I thought someone shot at Aries because she was barking in the general direction of the power pole and then I heard a very loud bang and there was a big flash of light and tons ( Read more... )

There's a big ruckus in the basement of pipes being sawed. My dishwasher installation is a few hours from completion! I'm very excited. Just in time for the big winter storm to knock out our power so I can't use it. Damn!!

Aurora has been hanging out at the country club in Lakewood, across the lake from us. Apparently she's been hanging around some woman's house for the last couple of days and they finally brought her in and gave me a call. I'm ecstatic.

And, it's snowing like crazy and I was just told to go home after I finish up some stuff.

My sister and I have a specific song that results in some serious rocking out every time it comes on - “Black Dog” by Led Zeppelin to be specific.

As soon as it came on my mp3 player, I had a serious urge to start dancing in my cubicle. Unfortunately, my sister is not here to share the glory with me, so I will refrain. It just would not be the same ( Read more... )

Ah, the joys of two Civil Engineers trying to make sense of the power/street lighting layout to put into our plans... I did not take classes on this, damnit!

I think we're all about to turn into a bunch of popsicles at work. *shiver*

I'm wearing several layers and wrapped in my fleece blanket. Maintenance has been paged.

Trestin has training in Seattle for work today so he dropped me off at Starbucks at 7 so I didn't have to drive (and more time to wake up, a hot cup of tea and my new magazine!). On my way out the door to go to work, a random older gentleman stepped out of line and opened the door for me.

Either I looked incapable of doing it on my own or he was ( Read more... )

I still get butterflies after 4+ years of being together.

Today, they are to the extreme. I feel like I did when I was a little girl waiting patiently until Christmas morning. Time seemed super slow and I couldn't concentrate for the life of me.

Trestin's plane lands in Seattle in 4 hours. I can't wait. :)

In a little over 2 hours, I get to head home and finish packing for our traditional getaway trip to Seaside. We get to relax in our favorite little suite with a jacuzzi tub, gas fireplace and partial view of the ocean. I'm sooo excited.

Today marks our 4-year anniversary. Yesterday, my sister said "Seriously?! It's only been 4 years?!" but I am ( Read more... )
