My inner fangirl appears
I know I haven't written for quite some time, and the catching up would take a lot more writing than I have time for right now (including my notes about Cindy McCain's speech at the RNC I want to debrief online). So I will take just a few moments to write about my Labor Day weekend, which was spent in town with Matt doing a lot of fun stuff, none ( Read more... ) -
This week's been interesting
As you know, I got my tattoo on Monday, which is a great way to start off a week if I do say so myself. After a lack of sleep from the buzz of the tattoo I was kind of glad when Tuesday evening Matt begged off on date night to work on edits to the book. I played Zak & Wiki on the Wii for a few hours and then crashed out. Whew ( Read more... ) -

24 hours away
At 9am tomorrow morning I will be sitting in an office in Renton, starting my new job with The Mosaic Company as an educational consultant. Up until this very moment I haven't really been thinking about it much, except when people asked me questions. Apparently that is changing, and now I am starting to get kind of nervous with all the standard ( Read more... ) -
The Final Countdown
I start my new job in a little over a week. Hard to believe it's the 11th of July already when it was just the 4th. I guess between my eye injury and Matt's harried European trip for work time has just flown by. I've been watching a lot of Netflix movies, and reading voraciously. Recently in a period of two days I watched: The Last Mimsy, ( Read more... ) -
Non-stopbusygogetmovingarewethereyet?YES
Whew! It was a whirlwind weekend here at Chez Mew, and in true Kristen format I still managed to get a few naps in. Heh. Friday night Matt was exhausted after work, so Rosalie and I left him home to rejuvinate while we headed down to Alki with some friends to drink and watch the sun go down. After many hours of laughter, running amok, and tasty ( Read more... ) -
The wonderful thing about Solstice Q
It's hard to believe that summer solstice has arrived again. Time flies by, even when you're unemployed, and this year has been no exception. Here in Seattle we aren't afraid to embrace the celebration of the longest daylight day of the year, whether the sun is shining high in the sky or it's pouring down rain. Not only do we have a whole fair ( Read more... ) -
I haz a job!
Well, the wait is finally over. After a little over 6 months of hunting, withdrawing applications, interviews, happy days, sad days, and in-between days, I have been made an offer that meets all my criteria for a job I want. The idea of having a job, in the field I want to be in, where travel is a given part of it, and I get to work with various ( Read more... ) -
Local eating update
Well, we are multiple weeks into our "eating local" experiment, so now is a good time to update y'all on our progress. The first week went really well, and ever since then we've been struggling with some of our choices. We have been eating out more, and the food at the house is not getting consumed at the rate it should be. Still, we are eating ( Read more... ) -
Week One: Locavore update
Well, Matt and I are in day 6 of our eating local food experiment. There have been a few stumbling blocks but on the whole I'd say so far I'm pretty pleased with what's been going on in our food life. Monday I ended up eating out with a friend and her (allergic to more things than not, it seems) son, so we went for Thai food. I figured my food ( Read more... )
