This is a totally lame-o post, but I’m on vacation so it’ll have to do.
Brett somehow found this link, and I thought it was not only funny, but I also really liked the illustrations.
Given our experiences this summer, it seems appropriate to post, even if it is just ultimately an ad for some matchmaking site.

…that when I’m lying in bed at night, trying to go to sleep, I can think of about 7 things I want to blog about, but when I sit down at the computer to type, I can’t think of what I wanted to say?
So annoying!
Oh, yeah — I guess one thing I was going to [...]
This weekend, I did something that requires an amazing amount of courage, dexterity, and patience. There’s no small amount risk involved, that’s for sure. And it’s not an easy task to begin with, let alone for someone who is nine months pregnant.

“Heh. You look really funny right now,” followed by uncontrolled laughter.
Next on the list of reactions not to have when your pregnant wife looks hurt and asks you why:
“Well your belly is huge [...]
Being a vegetarian has its drawbacks, the major one being that at any group event involving eating, I usually get the shaft.
Weddings and potulcks are generally pretty bad, although I can usually find something to fill me up. Chicken or Beef? Um, no thanks. I’ll just eat this roll here, and maybe that salad over [...]
Thursday night, Brett and I were waiting to catch the #17 in Ballard. We had just finished dinner (Pho! Yum!) and were heading to SPU to hear one of my favorite college professors give a lecture.
The sun was shining, we were full of Pho, and we were both feeling happy and goofy.
And then, I felt [...]
We spent last weekend with our families in Portland, supposedly celebrating the holiday — I guess these days, that means frenetically driving from house to house (three houses on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day), church service to church service (three church services on Christmas Eve), so that each family would be happy and placated.
