    Site Description:
    I try to find the funny in all of those little every day things we all take for granted (like when we get the flu and go running for the Vitamin C supplements in the bathroom cabinet instead of the oranges in the fridge).

Talent in the Strangest Places
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Sometimes my talent for procrastination is very surprising...even to me. As a content writer there is nothing quite like sitting down to a list of requested articles on a subject that you care nothing about.  Even when you care about the subject, it can be difficult to start a project.  When ...

Monday
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Today I walked roughly 44 blocks which is not part of the Couch to 5K plan, but was exercise all the same, especially as, for 22 of those blocks I was hauling roughly my body weight in books and laptops with me. See, a bunch of books were due today at ...

Another Day Another Post
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Today has been a fantastic lazy day.  I spent most of it lying on my stomach on the couch watching Boston Legal on DVD while Poppy napped on my back.  In fact, I have another few hours of laziness ahead of me. In this moment I am ready to get back ...


After a Glorious Day Off…
0000-00-00 00:00:00
So yesterday? Was a pretty good day.  We slept in (Will doesn't have to work until noon on Fridays) and then I went to see Vantage Point, bought some running shoes, cleaned my apartment, had a texting conversation with my oldest brother (Hi Curt!) and then spent the evening watching ...


Um. Yay.
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I just got an email (or is it still e-mail?) from the Blog 365 folks reminding us that February 29 is the day of rest for Blog 365.  So I am taking tomorrow off.  I am considering taking the day off in a big way and not even turning on ...


Disappearing Act
0000-00-00 00:00:00
There was a spider in my bathroom.  It was small by any spider lover's standards, but because I do not like spiders it was rather large.  Large enough that from near the bathroom ceiling I could see that there were markings on its back, though I could not see what ...

Two Things
0000-00-00 00:00:00
1. I took on a client who wanted me to do some reviews of WordPress Themes. Now I want to start a bunch of websites just so that I will have an excuse to use all of the neat themes I've found (I have vowed that I will ...


Ow OW
0000-00-00 00:00:00
There is just something about a hug and a "bye my friend!" from a four year old that makes your uterus ache.  ACHE. Or...maybe that's just me.


Crap Post
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I?  Am beginning to dislike Blog 365. Okay, I like that I made a committment to blog every day.  It is a good committment because, well, we all remember the non-postingness of September and October.  Yow. But some days... some days I think "I'll post later."  and I keep thinking that until ...


80th Annual Academy Awards
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Am I the only one who got all sorts of choked up by the Oscars?  Seriously!!   I didn't even tune in for the whole broadcast but I still came close to crying at least three times!

Advil PM
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Gotta love it.  It'll knock your butt right out.  Not when you want to go to sleep, of course, but the next morning--about an hour after you've woken up.


It’s Okay, These are Jesus Pills
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I have decided to make Monday "Bloglets" day. Last night was one of those nights.  You know what I'm talking about.  The nights where you cannot get to sleep no matter how hard you try.  I felt completely awake but also knew that I didn't have enough energy to actually get ...

End of another lazy weekend
0000-00-00 00:00:00
One of the things I love about The West Wing is that it gets me all fired up about politics and government and I get the urge to pull all of my history books off of my bookshelves and actually learn a little bit about the history of our country.  ...


So. This is Boredom.
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Obviously there are a couple of things I could be doing.  I could be doing the breakfast dishes.  I could be working on some writing that is due on Monday.  I could be picking up the bedroom and making the bed.  I could be walking over to Hollywood Video or ...

Bloglets
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Because last Friday was the "Blog 365 Day of Rest" I forgot to blog about some big family news.  My oldest brother and his wife (Hi Curt and Molly!) are expecting their first child! Exciting!  I love my brother Chris's kids to bits (though admittedly I don't see or talk ...


Three Things I Learned Today and a Fun Quote
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Since we moved up here I've known that we live very close to a Target.  I did not know how close, however, until today when I had to exchange some sheets.  People, for the second time in my life I live within walking distance of Target.  It is a good ...

Buffet! (and bad grammar!)
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Tonight Will and I tried the American, Chinese and Japanese buffet that is down the road from our apartment.  It was...interesting.  There was a prevalence of water-living foodstuffs which are not really my cup of tea in taste or smell, but the restaurant was very well ventilated so it wasn't ...

It’s 8:00. Is it bedtime yet?
0000-00-00 00:00:00
This week has been...rough. On Monday I was up until the very wee hours because, for some reason, I couldn't fall asleep.  I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the time change or sleeping until noon or what, but I was awake. Will was also not tired, but ...


During Girlicious
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Will:  Fuckers! She has on a tiny dress, she's straddling a chair with an open back and they pan over to the other singer? What the hell?!? Me:  You...were...actually watching this with me? Will:..............no?


A Good Day
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Yesterday afternoon, after Will got home, all of the living creatures in our apartment with less than eight legs (meaning Will, Poppy and I) decided to veg out on the couch for...pretty much the rest of the day and evening. Poppy slept, of course. Will played the Wii (he bought Super Mario ...

Couch to 5K!
0000-00-00 00:00:00
So today, after a minor mishap this morning involving a discrepancy over what time Will wanted to be woken up for work and whether he did or did not turn off his own alarm twice before I finally poked him and said "you have to be at work in fifteen ...

Friday Wrap Up
0000-00-00 00:00:00
You know what's fun?  Driving forty five minutes across town to turn in a resume for an internship and finding out "oh, you need to fill out the application online."  This is what we experienced this morning when Will attempted to apply for an internship with the city of Gresham.  ...

So Tempting
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I don't know if I have ever mentioned this or not, but I do not sleep well when other people are staying here.  I mean, I am not usually a deep sleeper anyway.  I used to be, before we got the cat, but not anymore!  This light sleepingness gets even ...


All the Gaming
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Earlier tonight Will calls me up and says "so my sister might stop by."  This is BIG NEWS as the relationship between Will and his sister has been pretty dicey for the last couple of years.  Actually, the relationship between Will and I and most of the rest of his ...

Monday Bloglets
0000-00-00 00:00:00
I finished my crochet scarf yesterday.  It is a little on the short side, but I figure it will stretch out a little and relax over time.  The thing is, now I need a new crochet project and, because I do not know how to read crochet patterns and only ...

Opposite Day
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Yesterday I was all about the Couch to 5K and the running and being all "look at me, I'm exercise-y!" I was trying to be more healthy and get into shape.  Today, to celebrate Will's last final, we went up to Hillsboro to this burger place that serves burgers the ...


Legs Like a Bowl Full of Jelly
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Today I made my second attempt at Couch to 5K.  It was a much better experience and I'm betting it's because this time I already knew how to work the treadmill. I ran a little more than a mile (I think) and when I was finishing up I thought "ohhh...this is ...

Change of Plans
0000-00-00 00:00:00
In a fun change of plans, Will's friend and girlfriend arrived last night.  The good news is, I like them too.  The bad news is, I do not have much time to do the whole Blog 365 thing this weekend so this is my lame update to make sure I ...

No title
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Holy. Crap. I almost wet my pants while watching this--not for any excitable reason but because the words were so compelling that I did not want to press pause. I haven't done much political commentary for the 08 election, mainly because it feels like this primary season is older than I am, ...


Nothing Like Advanced Notice
0000-00-00 00:00:00
About a half an hour ago Will called to tell me that this weekend our house will be invaded providing shelter for two of his friends and the girlfriend of one of his friends (that was awkward but everything else I typed made it sound like some kind of threesome).  ...
