Bitter Pills
I love living in Portland, but the journey sure as hell hasn’t been easy. And now, let’s stack another one up for “David and Erica’s School of Hard Knocks.” We are now victims of the mortgage crisis. Better still, we have no recourse as renters in a house that is being pushed through the system. [...]
Counting
I count a lot of things these days….
calories - I’m using an app on my iPhone to track them. It’s amazing, when confronted with the reality of what and how much I eat, how little I should be consuming. But it feels good to be making that change. If I am careful and conscious, I [...]
Ummm….
Please don’t fart and then leave my office. You should share in the misery.
Kthxbye
170 lbs of shame
We didn’t have our normal Biggest Loser workout. The show was delayed because of the stupid Blazers game. I hate professional sports. I always have, and for reasons like that - they ruin my shows. That and, wouldn’t it be more entertaining to go out and PLAY the fucking sport yourself? Instead you sit and [...]
Frack
Had a lovely post written and Wordpress ate it.
On with the day…
What Monday Brings
Apparently, the shit that hit the fan on Friday, stuck to the blades, twirled around all weekend long, and stank up the building on Monday. Came into the office for an early meeting. After the meeting, one of the office staff took their last trip out our front door. I can’t say it was unexpected, [...]
Crumbs
I was trying not to check my e-mail every half hour since I finally sent that e-mail to my father. But I was pleasantly surprised to get an invitation to go dancing on Friday. Shake your grooooove thang!
Rainy weather makes me sleepy and contemplative.
I am addicted to being busy right now. The plans are kind [...]
Goodbye Moosey
D and I go to the Blue Moose Vegetarian restaurant every Wednesday. It has become a kind of ritual. Being mid-week , we love taking the time to process the week, readying ourselves for the last few days before the weekend. And the ritual was made especially enjoyable because of the owner of Sheila and [...]
Little Links
I haven’t done this in a while. But I thought I would give you some entertainment for the afternoon.
Eww Eww Eww Eww Eww…. and that’s all I can say about this story. Oh, and I’m glad I don’t live in a place where these fuckers can breed… like FLORIDA!
Goodnight Little Lander.. You outlasted your expected [...]
Wounded Dogs
I wish I spoke beagle. If I did, then perhaps Pip could tell me what’s wrong. He’s not spritely, bouncy, or otherwise hyper. He stayed right by my side all weekend (including Friday where I took a nap and never really woke up). We think he hurt himself somehow. If you’ve ever seen him bounce [...]
I did my part, and so did you
I got hammered-ass smashed on Tuesday night, hence no blogging on Wednesday. I spent most of yesterday day nursing a terrible hangover while trying not to smile. The change has just begun.
Now, let me say this, because I think it’s important. While we have a new president, the change that this country needs is [...]
A few game reviews, and a new president
D, because he is the coolest husband ever, bought me three games recently. It’s an amazing game season, so I didn’t cry when he came home with Fable II, Little Big Planet and Fallout 3 (for the PS3). I will go from the bad games to the good.
I am super-duper, wholly and completely pissed at [...]
Beagle-gates change the world
The butterfly, or beagle-gate, effect rocked our house this weekend. It was the culmination, in my opinion, of our never ending fight with the poorly placed counters and two rooms with more useless space than necessary. Because our house was a flip, many things were overlooked, you know, like an actual plug for the fridge, [...]
