a longer update

Okay, where to start? There’s been a lot going on in the past few months. I guess I should start by going back to October or so. I posted then that I was looking for a job. Things were tight, and we have already been living a bare-bones, no luxury budget for a couple of [...]

a very merry Christmas

We had a great day yesterday! We stayed in San Francisco and our friend Kim (and her puppy Fipo) came down from Seattle for the holiday.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

a typical evening with our spirited child

We ordered Indian food for dinner tonight, which Elanor ate with relish. As we were cleaning up, Brett put on the new Jay-Z song and we started taking things into the kitchen. The next thing we knew, Elanor was on top of the table, dancing away. So we did what any responsible good…er, uh…parents would [...]

my first tattoo

Sometimes, I surprise myself, which I did the other night, when I did something that I didn’t think I’d ever do.
I got a tattoo.
I know, right? Me? A tattoo???
Believe it or not, the evidence is below.
Our friends Graham and Emily are friends with a guy named Chuck, who is a traveling tattoo artist and long-time [...]

thankful, v.2009

Sorry I disappeared and failed again on the NaBloPoMo thing. There’s been a lot going on this week; I may be able to share some potentially exciting developments here tomorrow, if things pan out. I hope.
Anyway, since it’s Thanksgiving as I’ve done in years past, I’m going to talk about a few things I’m thankful [...]

Settlers of Catan

Oh, no! I almost missed posting today. I’m making it in just under the wire here.
Tonight, we played Settlers of Catan with some friends. It’s been a recent obsession for Brett and me; I’d played it a few years ago with our friends Katie and Jon but Brett had never played it until a few [...]

cold remedies

Well, Annie, your plea worked. I’m going to try to finish out the month, posting every day. It will be a good exercise for me in posting more regularly, I hope.
Today, since we are victims of a cold at our house (even our houseguest Nate has caught it…I feel awful about that), I’m asking for [...]

church update

It’s been five months since we moved here, and four since the Great Church Debacle of 2009, and we still haven’t found a church here in San Francisco. It’s kind of frustrating, but it doesn’t surprise me. It took us almost two years to find our church in Maine; it makes sense that it would [...]

Oh, Brett

Our room. Hanging out, a few minutes ago.
Brett: You look cute today, with your cute shirt and frazzly hair.
Me: Frowzy hair? Thanks a lot.
Brett: No, no, Frazzly hair. Like Frazzle Rock?
Me: [rolling eyes] Uh, you mean Fraggle Rock? [laughs uproariously]
~~~~~~~~
Sorry for yesterday’s disjointed post. I heard Elanor wake up on the monitor as I was [...]

thoughts

I have a lot of things I’m thinking about lately, so I think I’ll just do a bullet-style post; it’s just easier than writing a ton of transitions.

Writing: A post manifesto piece about our child rearing ideas. It’s gotten really, really long. It may wind up being a series of posts, actually, but, then, that [...]
