In Sickness and In Health

this seemed like a small clause in the wedding vows, but i had no idea how soon it would be invoked! everyone i have talked to lately is sick with a “flu” type virus that is wreaking havoc on their bellies. it is a bit frightening considering all the articles i have read on viruses [...]

Rain, rain go away

record rainfall over the past couple of days. beautiful and exciting at the same time. there is something special about being inside snuggled beneath a blanket, half reading a book, half watching the rain fall. just got the bjork live box set for my birthday. dreaming about a new phone and a new computer simultaneously.

iTunes

how do i love thee? finally, apple has freed pc users everywhere from the chains of Windows Media Player and RealPlayer.

Free Stuff To Do

NYC - My friends are tired of me going on and on about the Seattle radio station KEXP … just ask Juan if you don’t believe me!

My City Can Beat Up Your City

when i decided to move from Hamtramck, MI to Seattle, the most common question posed to me was,”doesn’t it rain everyday there?”. following closely in second place was,”i hear that Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the country.” when we (my boyfriend, i mean … er … husband) and i travel back we are [...]

-Insert Clever Title Here-

oh wait, damn, i should have used ‘Friday I’m In Love’. the last couple of weeks have been filled with details. we had a trip planned to visit my parents in northern Michigan last weekend and at the last minute decided to be married at the courthouse there. it has been a long and complicated [...]

Preoccupied

Been preoccupied with trips and various other things. There is so much on my mind right now that it’s difficult to let anything out. Tonight I will force myself to sit down and at least write about getting married!
