I have this thing about needles. I don’t know when it started because I haven’t always had it, but whenever it started it started BIG.
A few years ago I went to get an innocent flu shot at work and I froze up. Standing in line, I got so worked up that I made myself sick [...]
Last week, Travis and I celebrated five years of marriage.
Separately, of course. Who wants to actually celebrate an anniversary together?
We had planned for YEARS to go to a wedding in Kansas City on this weekend. And by “years” I mean, we knew we’d go to this wedding even before we knew there’d be a wedding. [...]
I am sitting here in Chicago at a conference taking advantage of FREE WIRELESS! I’ve been listening to speakers all morning and am on a break now, and since I’ve done the important things like get caught up on facebook work, I figured I’d better blog.
Life has been SO CRAZY I can’t even begin to [...]
This weekend, we spent some time with Nana, Travis’ grandma, who has recently been moved to an assisted care place. Yesterday we agreed to be good grandkids and take her out to lunch after church. But actually going to church? Oh no. Instead we went to the casino and won $70 bones. Now THAT’S finding [...]
Oh, it is? Well thank GOD for that.
I really intended to write more than once a week, but somehow this week got away from me. We’re taking our first “vacation” this weekend to Albuquerque, and I say “vacation” in quotes because it’s really just a family trip to visit the in-laws. And I won’t go [...]

In the 48 hours after that, I looked at over 30 properties to try to decide where to live.
In the following week, we bought a loft downtown (doesn’t “loft” [...]
There’s a huge long list of things I will miss about living in Germany, and here is a sample:
The beer
The public transportation
The great recycling programs
Getting drunk at work (and getting paid for it!)
About once a month, there is an occasion to be celebrated - a baby born, a wedding, a new job in the company. [...]
Damn. I wrote an entire post about my wedding registry and how people should have to buy me all new stuff because we sold everything when we moved. And now I’d kinda like it back.
And the post was the usual, funny, witty, brilliant prose you’ve come to expect from me. Except I apparently didn’t save [...]
You have to read between the lines a little, but it totally did.
Yes, I realize I’m 34 years old and my parents don’t know I drink. Yes, I realize that’s insane. Yes, really, they do not suspect a thing. (Everyone always says “They HAVE to know!” but really? They don’t.)
Earlier this week when my mom was still here, we were on the subway when I ran into [...]
