We Meet Again

10.19.07 – 21:10

Remember that one time a little over a month ago when I posted about the horrible injustice of working a 40-hour week? That was before I worked a 70-hour week to do all of the desktop publishing and 70+ graphics for a proposal. While I was sick. So that was pretty awesome. Two weeks later, [...]

One Year Later

09.11.07 – 23:09

Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the second-happiest day of my mom’s life, the first of course being the day I was born: Stephan and I got married! To each other! In the long, long year since, we have taken to referring to any decision we have made or can otherwise take credit for as [...]

Before They Were a Gleam

08.15.07 – 21:08

We have a friend named Joel who played the piano at our wedding. Then he accepted a job with one of my company’s biggest competitors. Silly Joel. I reminded Stephan that even though Joel should really be working for my company, we have to still be friends with him, so he can play the piano [...]

What I Learned on My Summer Vacation

08.13.07 – 19:08

So we went to the coast last weekend. And the weekend before that, but I did not learn any particularly valuable lesson then. On the most recent trip, however, I drove the car from the Inn at Otter Crest to Newport Fred Meyer and back. When I pulled into the parking lot, I put the [...]

Just When You Thought You Knew Him

08.01.07 – 20:08

I have a husband, whose name is Stephan. He is many things. He is very smart. He is very funny. He is very handsome. He is very nice to kittens and babies. He is packed full of integrity. He is an excellent communicator. He is disgusted by chocolate. Wait, no, that last one is a [...]

Stephan v. Kittens

06.13.07 – 22:06

You would not believe what I have to go through when Stephan is out of town: I have to wash my own dishes, people. So not worth being the sole recipient of cat affection.

In Defiance

06.07.07 – 19:06

Stephan told me what to blog about tonight, but I’m defying him. It’s what I do best.* Instead, I will tell you about how when I write a cookbook the recipes will not say ridiculous things like “Prep time: 5 minutes,” because my cookbook will not assume that all of your ingredients have been chopped, [...]

Mmm…sucrose

06.04.07 – 21:06

I have this husband who thinks that I’m “complicated.” How, I ask, could this be construed as complicated: S: “What kind of juice do you want?” K: “Surprise me.” S: “Orange juice?” K: “No, not orange juice.” S: “So what kind?” K: “Surprise me.” When it comes to candy, however, I am a person of [...]

Here I Am!

05.28.07 – 22:05

I have returned from doing absolutely nothing for the entire fabulously 3-dayed weekend. We did make a list Saturday morning of things that needed to be done, but it involved things like “read” and “watch Happy Feet.”* We meant to climb Dog Mountain today, but that somehow turned into baking a lemon chiffon cake with [...]

It’s a Book Thing

05.20.07 – 23:05

Not so much progress on the reading of six books today. Because first this happened:* And then today, LibraryThing happened. Fourteen of those cubes above yielded 233 books. And did I mention that we have two more (smaller) bookshelves? The list of Best Ideas Ever has now been expanded: Google, New Seasons, cinnamon in coffee, [...]
