Greetings

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

This afternoon, my friend Ryan (we call him Cute Young Ryan, for obvious reasons) sent me the above card. I laughed my ass off and then checked out the rest of the website. You should do the same. One of my personal faves is the one that says, “I send pointless emails late at night […]

Stray-Rod

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Now that the whale thing is over, this is my new favorite story. I’d make some kind of joke here about how the buxom blonde is probably a PR ploy to get us believe A-Rod and Jeter are not…ahem…ya know, but that would be crass, and not really all that original anyway. A-ROD’S A YANKEE […]

Snack Lies

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

One of my favorite workday-afternoon snacks is yogurt and trail mix. (What can I say? I live in Oregon.) My favorite used to be the combination of Trader Joe’s “Confetti” trail mix and their nonfat strawberry fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt. But they quit making Confetti and I was forced to develop warmish feelings for the “Sweet and […]

Humpy the Humpback and her baby Humbolt

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

I don’t know why, but I’m a total sucker for any whale rescue news story. So I’m lovin’ this ongoing story. The best part of this particular write up is the last paragraph: “In 1985, a humpback nicknamed Humphrey was escorted back to sea after swimming in the delta for nearly a month.” Like they […]

Your Daily Dose of Horseshit

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

According to this, Portland has the most “courteous” drivers. Whatever that means. If you ask me, it means “the highest occurance of people who drive 50 mph in the fast lane.” My favorite line from the article: “Portland drivers were the least likely to see other motorists tailgating on the roadways.” Apparently, those Portland drivers […]

Keep breathing, that’s the key

Monday, May 14th, 2007

The closer we get to the wedding, the more I find joy in unexpected things. For instance, I had no idea how much fun it would be to shop for a whole new makeup ensemble. And I am rejoicing in all of the excuses I have to buy new outfits. Wedding shower, check. Rehearsal dinner, […]

I’m obnoxious

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Every morning, I try to find the most soothing and loving way to awaken GTB from his peaceful slumber. Today, I did it with my laptop open to the Austin City Limits page where they had just announced their 2007 lineup, including Bob Dylan, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Muse, Bloc Party, and all the rest. […]

Doing God’s work, literally

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

When I was visiting my sister-in-law a few weeks ago, before my brother returned from Iraq, she hosted a group of fellow officers’ wives for lunch. These were fantastic women: warm, smart, funny, good moms. I have seen bumper stickers and t-shirts that say “Marine Wife: Toughest Job in the Corps” and after meeting these […]

T minus 30 days

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

I’m getting married in one month. One month from today, people. And I’m feeling pretty good about it. I have a friend who sends me my horoscope everyday and last week one of them included the line “Release your worries about getting it all done. It will come together.” Amen. Some people puke when I […]

Able to take full breaths again

Friday, May 4th, 2007

Yesterday, we received word that my brother is out of Iraq and, relatively speaking, safe in Kuwait. This Sunday afternoon, he’ll be arriving back on his home base where Tracey, their two kids, my mother, my sister, and I will be eagerly awaiting him on “Victory Field.” My mom and step-dad were supposed to go […]
