Another (too hot) day in Paradise

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Today I managed to last until 6:30 or so in the evening before I caved to the heat and Poppy (who spent the whole day hiding from the heat in the bathroom cabinet)  and I retreated into the bedroom to let Bert the air conditioner cool us off.  Right now Poppy is sacked out on [...]

It’s Too Hot To Think Of a Catchy Title

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

I am fairly sure that I can say, with authority, that it is TOO DAMN HOT.  As evidence I offer up my unhappy face at being too warm:

And I’m going to follow that up with the makeshift office that I have created in our bedroom:

That is the foot of our bed (likey the ikea bedspread?) [...]

More Wedding Venting

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

I had a longer post planned but seriously?  I really need a break from wedding planning.  The wedding planning has turned into this:
“It’s whatever you want.  Its YOUR day.”
“I really want this.”
“No no, you should do this instead.”
“But I don’t like that, I want this.”
“Be reasonable.  This is better.”
or
“The decisions are entirely up to you, [...]

Some Wedding Venting

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Dear… People,
I am here to tell you something and pay attention because this is important.  If you are going to go visit someone who lives in an urban area it is neither cheaper nor more convenient to bring your own towable portable housing:
A) Most urban areas do not have readily available portable housing accommodations.  They [...]

Look Ma! No Junk!

Last night Will and I decided to have dinner at the Sweet Tomatoes here in town (for the record I have decided to call pretty much everything on this side of downtown Portland “here in town”).  Yes–Will ate salad for dinner.  On purpose.  And it was his idea.  For those of you who live in [...]

Maybe Another Time

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I had a whole entry almost written about going to Grant Park yesterday with Wendy, Katie and Patty (who I cannot link to because she does not have a blog) but then the Jackson 5 version of Rockin’ Robin came on my iTunes and I could not stop myself from rocking out a little bit [...]

Brainy No Worky

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Oh my god I only got ninety minutes of sleep last night.  And, in spite of that I still managed to get more done today than I did yesterday even though I felt like at any moment my head would start spinning around and fly off.
Of course, that’s not exactly hard since I didn’t exactly [...]

I’m so Angsty I’m listening to Avril Lavigne.

Dear….Someone,
Please hire me to write witty witticisms about my daily life for large sums of money.  ‘Cuz I? Kind of rock and I can be funny and…you know.  So…yeah! Hire me! Woo!
In other news: have you seen my focus? I seem to have misplaced it.
Today is the day of the self imploding spiral.  I have [...]

End of Another Weekend

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

For the first time in a long time this was a weekend of doing abso-freakin’-lutely nothing.  Will was in Bend (he’s home now, yay!) and after UPS delivered my Sex and the City and the Closer DVDs on Friday evening I pulled our comfiest blanket onto the couch, curled up and did nothing but watch [...]

Progress! Yay!

Ladies and germs, we have an officiant!
Both of today’s meetings went really well.  So well that I would very much like to be friends with both of the people I met with and kind of hope that ends up happening.
Our officiant, Heather, is just a few years older than me and we have tons in [...]
