I had written this big post about how pissed off I am these days because I’m feeling like I need to justify where we are in life and the things that we have. But in the end, it just made me sound like more of a pretentious bitch than I already am. So […]
Chris and I recently discovered JACK fm, the new FM radio format. It’s wild! We’ve been listening to our local station, and with each song, one of us is saying something like, “Wow, great song, I haven’t heard this in years!”
Like classical or alternative, JACK is simply another format where there is more […]
My Dear Peanut,
Five months ago today, you came into this world after an unsuccessful attempt at a night’s rest and two hours of pushing. It was a Sunday morning and I remember it as though it were just this past week. Daddy and I spent most of the day curled up with […]
While waiting for our new car, we get to drive around in a really nice 2005½ Jetta as a loaner from the dealership.
It’s been a long day, but after some relatively easy negotiations, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new 2005 Touareg (in Silver, of course). It’s coming in from Eastern Washington and should be ready for pick-up on Tuesday. The highlights include:
V6: Very excited!
240 horse power
229 lb.-ft tourque: Ahh yea!
Full-time […]
Christopher’s Review at drinkok.com
In celebration of Chris’ first Father’s Day, I setup a date night for the two of us. Dillon’s first official babysitter (non family or close friend watching him) and a much-needed night out.

It may not seem like a big deal…but for reasons that only a woman who’s been through childbirth could understand, my first 25-minute run is a huge milestone. Until yesterday, I’ve only run a few mintues at a time and just couldn’t make it much more than about five at any given stretch.
The truth […]
For the past two nights, Dillon has decided that his day begins at 3:30am. Which, given the fact that he’s still sleeping through from the night before, isn’t so bad. Except that it’s throwing a barrel full of monkey wrenches into my gym schedule and I feel like a huge fucking beached whale.
After […]
Grab your boards, kids…it’s going to be a wild ride.
Living right on the sound, Chris and I would normally be concerned about such a report. But as it is, we live in a valley, surrounded by two rather large bluffs. I think we’d be alright. But man, I can only imagine what […]
I’m sitting here on our sofa and Dillon just screamed out in his sleep. He does that from time-to-time, sometimes while he’s sleeping comfortably in my arms. I went in to check on him, pat his back a bit and make sure he got back to sleep alright. And as I looked […]
