Jam Packed Tuesday Bloglets

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Internet, I fear that I am getting sucked into the deep dark hole that is wedding planning.  And having friends.  And, okay, having to get work done.  So really I guess I fear that I am getting sucked into the deep dark hole that is known as life.  Apparently I am perfectly ordinary.  Who knew?
Each [...]

Another Trifecta

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

In the last couple of days we have lost three legends: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
I never really followed Farrah Fawcett’s career, but I had a big ol’ childhood soft spot for Ed McMahon and, obviously, I was a fan of Michael Jackson.  I watched his concert specials on HBO.  I danced to [...]

On Cheerleading

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

To be honest, I have no idea how this I first became inspired with it, but sometime around the age of seven or eight I fell in love (love) with the idea of cheerleading.  My love ran so deep that I even checked out books about it from the library at school and, when I [...]

Return of the Return of Tuesday Bloglets! Things I Have Learned Recently Edition

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Last Friday I decided to make fried rice.  I found a pretty good fried rice recipe in the Taste of Home Cookbook a few months ago and I think I have the process pretty much down.  But first I forgot to pay attention to the rice and, um, oops.  Not so much with the able [...]

Teeth and Weddings

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Today I bought one of those dentist kits at Fred Meyer and can I just say? I am a little bit obsessed with using that lighted mirror to look at the backs of my teeth.  The thing that I find most surprising about the backs of my teeth is how much healthier they look than [...]

An Unexpected Adventure

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

First, the backstory:
Earlier this week Will had an interview for an internship out in Troutdale.  He ended up getting out there with a bunch of time to spare so he drove though the town to see what it was like and fell hard.  Will?  Now loooooooooooooooves Troutdale.  We’ve become fairly certain that he didn’t get [...]

Oy with the Teeth Again!

Monday, June 15th, 2009

My mouth is starting to heal.  My cheek is still torn up but it is getting better.  Will’s mouth is, of course, healing with flying colors.  We have both agreed that–in a few weeks when we are confident that we are out of the “dry socket” woods, we are going to go buy very large [...]

Teethsravaganza The Aftermath!

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I have always heard that wisdom tooth extraction comes with a lot of pain and swelling, so I was expecting that.  What I was not expecting was that, by the forty eight hour mark (which just passed about twenty minutes ago) the worst pain in my mouth would be from the Novocaine and anesthetic injection [...]

Youch. And Yeeeouch!

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

When I woke up today I figured that it would be another day of working working working–and trying to ignore the “wow, my back tooth really hurts and is kind of making that half of my skull throb.  What is that about?!?” ness that was happening.
When I woke up today I did NOT think that [...]

Um, Hi! How’ve you been?!?

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Wow, has it really been almost a week since I last posted?  That’s insane!
Rest assured dear internet, I have not forgotten about you.   I have just been very very busy.  I got hyper focused on a work project that took two full days of my time, my Mom came to visit for an early birthday [...]
