Level of Grace

Mar

2012

I’m the sort of person who has plenty of long-time acquaintances, but very few close friends. The few friends I have, I generally keep close for long periods of time–if not for a lifetime. For instance, I met many of my closest friends over a decade ago; when I was introduced (as it were) to ...

my life has been improved by technology

Mar

2012

I am sitting in the sunshine filled, southern exposure of my living room, with my laptop on a breakfast stray over my knees. I have been emailing and transcribing interviews so that I can finish the magazine on time. I have a giant mug of coffee and a Diet Coke (you know, alternate). John is ...

Skinny

Feb

2012

I think I’m going to buy some diet pills today, I am controlling my eating to mostly low fat foods, fruit and veggies and exercising like crazy, and it’s not working.

Wedding

Feb

2012

So, here I am, engaged now for a full 2.5 days, and I feel a tizzy coming on. Even though we’ve decided on a simple wedding (although our definitions of simple aren’t the same–John said that by simple, he thought simple, like when his mom got married at City Hall and then they went home), ...

a dress, a shirt and tie

Feb

2012

So we’ve got a location, the rings, the flowers, and the invitations were just ordered. Now we need an officiant, a dress, a shirt and tie for John (he has a suit) and…hm…that’s it really. What am I forgetting? This can’t be this simple, can it?

household

Feb

2012

I would just like to say that the quality of life in our household has gone up dramatically since we got our dishwasher. I love our dishwasher. Our dishwasher is the greatest thing ever.

Big Fish

Jan

2012

We just saw “Big Fish” and I can’t recommend it enough. It was dreamily good. The last ten minutes had me in near uncontrollable sobs, but that was ok. Everything leading up was worth it and I didn’t feel manipulated. It’s the best movie Tim Burton has ever made (with Beetlejuice a close second.) Oh, ...

Meeces

Jan

2012

We caught one mouse over a week ago, the day after we set the traps for the first time. Haven’t caught anything or found any mouse poops since. Could he have been a bachelor? We still have the traps set, but would that be cool if we only had one mouse & we caught him ...

Thai Massage

Dec

2011

I had a Thai Massage (Thai Yoga) yesterday, and oh, it was divine. It’s different from your typical (Swedish) massage treatment in that the therapist massages your muscles and puts you into yoga postures in order to stretch them further. It’s like doing an intense, ideal yoga class, where you do all the poses perfectly. ...

Post-Thanksgiving

Nov

2011

We hosted Thanksgiving yesterday. It’s our fourth Thanksgiving as a couple that we’ve hosted, and the eighth that I’ve done. And it is the first time that I’ve had a dishwasher. I thought I’d planned enough time for everything yesterday. We had been working crazy hours all week and so I figured about 3 hours ...
