not the post I wanted to write today

For that matter, it’s not a post I want to write any day.

Brett called me from work around 9 a.m., and it looks like his moped’s been stolen. It was locked up there overnight and he didn’t notice it was gone when he first got to work this morning, but he went outside around 9 [...]

in the midst of the rally…

Every time I think my life just might calm down a bit, it seems to speed up again. **sigh** Oh well. I guess it’s good to be busy; it’s just so tiring!
Work was crazy this week. We had a huge tenant event and I’m exhausted from it. However, it went really well, so that is [...]

a (semi) normal post

It’s a gorgeous, sunny day out and what am I doing? Oh, sitting in a dark house in my pajamas, playing on the Internet. What should I be doing? Returning our very overdue movies to the video store. I guess I should get showered and walk up there.
But Brett’s at work (hooray, work!), the house [...]

Meh.

You know that saying your mom always told you? The one that goes, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
Yeah. That one.
Well, that’s pretty much why I haven’t been posting here lately. I’ve been feeling pretty meh, as we call it around our house. (Meh is one of my favorite words. [...]

reverse culture shock

This afternoon, Brett and I visited our friend Kevin’s moped shop, where Brett picked up a new spark plug boot and we hung out with Kevin and our friend Tim.
While we were there, a guy walked past the back door. I heard him start to walk by, and just after my mind registered that he [...]

There’s a lot I could tell here: about our trip down to Portland last weekend, about hanging out with our friends Steve, Carmen and Giles over the Fourth, about our temp jobs, about all the books I’ve been reading, about the amazing moped rides we’ve been going on…
All of that is to say that I [...]

Well, I’m back.

A virtual cookie to whoever can tell me what book that line is from…bonus points if you know who said it. (Hint: It’s the last line of said book.)
Anyway…it’s been a few weeks since I’ve been on here. And what a few weeks it’s been…
It’s a lot to write about, and to think about, that [...]

Meh.

Just a warning: this is going to be whiny. It’s late, I’m exhausted, I’m grumpy, and I hit my head really hard on the sloped ceiling in our guest bedroom tonight, so I am not at my best.
Ok, here we go.
I will be so glad when this whole moving adventure is over.
I feel like I [...]

the lattes are sooooo good here…

I don’t even know where to start…
I’m still in Seattle; right now I am sitting in the gorgeous and fantastic Seattle Public Library, which wasn’t finished when we lived here before. It’s really cool, and I can’t wait to come here. It’s right across the street from where I’ll most likely be working…but more on [...]

wedding planning = moped building ?

This whole moped-building, end-of-school project of Brett’s is starting to remind me of planning our wedding.
Just like with the wedding, his moped-building crises have mounted, first occuring monthly, then occuring weekly, then daily, and now, occuring hourly or even minute-ly.
It seems like every minute there’s something else that’s going wrong, from the paint chipping off, [...]
