(Almost)Spring Cleaning

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Cleanliness has never been a strong suite of mine. I mean, I’M clean… I shower daily and brush my teeth probably more than I should… but my house. Oh, my poor house. Ben keeps it tidy, but we both aren’t very good with keeping up with the deep cleaning. I’ll spare you the details, but [...]

Sometimes Alaska still amazes me

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

I had an impromptu business trip this week which had me jetting off to Juneau (Alaska’s Capitol) at a moment’s notice. All in all, I’m a fan of Juneau. It’s pretty to look at and has a really warm, friendly vibe. It’s different than some places in Alaska where you get the impression that people [...]

Small Victories?

Monday, February 18th, 2008

As many of you have probably read, there has been a massive beef recall in effect because of horrific video footage leaked by the Humane Society showing debilitated cows being shoved around by forklifts at Westland/Hallmark Meat Company.

Chocolate Peanut Butter-cream Cupcakes!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Happy Valentine’s Day

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

 It’s hard to believe that this is our fourth Valentine’s day together. Time really flies when you’re being held captive by a crazy knife-wielding man who threatens your little dog! Doh, totally kidding honey! FUN! I meant to say, time really flies when you’re having FUN. But really, his fabulous sister Erica posted a neat [...]

FEAR THE MOTH

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I have trouble sleeping. As soon as my head hits the pillow I start making lists of all the things I need to do, I start thinking about all my deadlines at work, about housework that needs to be done, about what are my next steps to take over the world… you know, the usual. [...]

I am the Netflix Assasin

Monday, February 11th, 2008

I absolutely adore my friend Jenny, and I’d say that even if she weren’t reading this (which she probably is). I had a fun night visiting with her and her finance’s family, had a tasty glass of wine, and had my way with her Netflix queue. When she wasn’t paying too much attention, I grabbed [...]
