Yesterday was the Day Of Big Box Stores. It started off, completely hungover, meeting up with the delightful (and gigantic) Caralyn (er, she’s pregnant, the gigantic is a good thing) at Costco. I think I’m in love. Er, with Costco. Ok, possibly with Caralyn’s giant belly as well, but that’s something entirely different that I [...]

So, a few months ago, I picked up an awesome dark red leather coat — about knee length, form fitting, ties around the waist as well as buttoning up. It’s been too cold to wear it, but my good black coat has some seams going on it again (it’s gorgeous, but rather vintage, so the [...]

Every time I try to type “snowshoeing” I end up typing “snoeshowing”. Somehow, I don’t think that’s the same. Anyway, in an attempt to be romantic and adorable for our first Valentines together, I came up with what I thought was a pretty awesome idea, and luckily, Nick agreed: Snowshowing. So 7pm found us up [...]

So, for those of you not playing at home, I work for a company that makes web based content management software. I run the support department, if by “run the” you mean “am the”. We downsized quite a bit last year, so instead of managing a fun little team of three or four like I [...]

So I’m on this craft kick, right? I suppose it really started about … 6-7 years ago, when I first learned to knit. But knitting was really my only craft until the last year. Now I do candles, soap, knitting, a little sewing, and my latest obsession: Polymer Clay. Jenn & I hit up the [...]

It’s official, you can close the internet. I have found the best thing ever. I’m laughing too hard to be original, so I’ll simply quote the post: If you’ve ever read President Obama’s Dreams From My Father, good for you. I couldn’t get past the foreword. I wish I had. Because today I discovered that [...]

donnamatrix says: can we get a giraffe when we build our house? Nicholas says: no donnamatrix says: but… we could keep it in the studio… Nicholas says: no donnamatrix says: they’re only 18 feet tall or so. They’d totally fit. Heck, we could get one in our current place. Nicholas says: no donnamatrix says: why [...]
What part of “do not call” is hard for you to understand?
February 6th, 2009

I was afraid this might happen, but sure enough… after adding myself to the new national “Do Not Call” list, I’ve started getting a lot more telemarketing calls. I am, of course, not the only one, as this article in the Tyee confirms. This, of course, was prompted by my ire at receiving a “You [...]

I’m a Nick Fangirl

Ok, admittedly, I’m a bit of a fangirl when it comes to the neat shit my awesome boyfriend does. So… you may (or probably won’t) recall a post I made last April, about very definitely NOT researching flights to LA at 1 in the morning. Of course, I had a slew of people asking me [...]
