Our dog (well, my brother’s dog, but the family dog nonetheless), Mr. H came home from the groomer with a seemingly normal complaint. “It looks like an infected toenail,” the groomer observed. Not concerned, my parents took him to the vet. They left without him as the infected toenail was much worse than it first […]
This Week.
This week: I’m going to California. The blog beef rages on. I have already planted potatoes. I am embracing my love of Virginia by getting amped for a road trip. I talked all about the shoes I’m wearing (and the ones I’m not!) in my best friend’s wedding. And I’m really looking forward to the […]
Spring Break 2010
This whole week I am house/dog/cat sitting for a family who are away for Spring Break. I thought it would be a lovely chance to get away for a while and just relax. I have the whole house to myself and it seemed like a great opportunity to just chill. The truth, however, is always […]
These are my Confessions
Back in the day (weeeeeell…maybe 7-8 years ago) I used to have this thing I called “confession time” wherein if you happened to be on aim at 3 in the morning I would target you and demand you confess something to me. 3am is a magical hour where secrets come spilling out and hot dogs […]
Spring
“Just think,” B said to me, in an uncharacteristically thoughtful moment. “Your love is beginning just as everything is starting to bloom.” We were driving, windows down. Sunshine – abundant. (I’d tell you her eyes were shining as she said this, but she’d just deny it.) B is right. As the trees started budding so […]
Good Things in the Spring
It’s been the most awesome weekend of the year. I came home on Friday to my new camera, a letter from an already returned missionary, a letter from a first cousin once-removed (family history work is the best), AND the seeds for my vegetable garden. If those things alone aren’t enough to indicate good things […]
30 by 30 – an Update
*Disclaimer – I know I said no pictures until the new camera comes, but these have been waiting on my phone for a while. And since they’re phone pictures, my new camera pictures will be even more awesome by comparison. Also…the camera comes TODAY. Meaning it’s literally OUT FOR DELIVERY as we speak and might […]
Why I love the Internets.
Today I was clicking through blogs, and ended up clicking a link that brought me to this very odd thing on amazon. Not even the reviewers really know what it is – but I will preface this by saying it’s for acupuncture. Allegedly. What’s most awesome about this thing? Please look at the “related items” […]

Pictures on Pause
This week I have no pictures to share with you since I know my new camera is coming and anything I take now will be far inferior to what I take later. No, really, I have no motivation to share pictures, though I should. I know, I’ll be all excited about the camera, and you’ll […]
