A List

1. Dan has been patiently, sweetly, biding his time until April Fool's Day is far enough in the past that he can publicly discuss how many times completely ridiculous facebook posts tricked me into saying stuff that made me look like an idiot. He knows I need a cooling off period. I'm almost there.

2. No I'm not.

3. We went to Moab, and I have mighty intentions of putting up photos of our time in the warm baking redrock country.

4. I think I went to Arches as a kid, but I don't have a clear memory of it. But let me put it this way- Arches made me a kid again, whether I was actually a kid there or not. There's something about scrambling up rocks and chasing lizards that makes you feel 8. Only now there's no one to wipe the dirt off your face or tell you not to get sand in the car.

5. There is sand in my car.

6. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, which wasn't nearly as invasive of privacy as I thought it would be.

7. I'm going to RADIOLAB LIVE tomorrow, because I am an NPR geek in the worst way. I am going to offer to adopt Jad Abumrad, on the off-chance he wants to share the utility room with Jeoffrey and study neurotic domestic indoor cats living in a reform mormon household.

8. Any day that you get to talk about the Donner Party at work is a good day.

9. Last night I went to Nordstrom Rack to kill some time so I wouldn't hit rush hour traffic. I had no intention of buying anything. And then I found a $0.01 dress. Yes, really. That was originally $200. I looked for holes, stains, disturbing smells, and tried it on to find it's rather lovely in every way. A modest, flattering, drapey black dress. I literally paid one copper coin for it.

10. Which makes me miss penny candy. Is there still penny candy?

11. Next week, I'm going to lunch with 3 other women whose names begin with L. By total coincidence. Not by total coincidence, they are the coolest women I know. And I go to lunch with them. It's pretty cool.

12. Feel free to start a letter lunching trend also. But invite me. Unless the letter is A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y, or Z, because then I would ruin your letter lunch.


13. Life Through Art:

The weather is nice. the people are dancing. light is bouncing off of fluffy bangs and poorly chosen hats. Today, life is like a Renior.

14. You stay classy, San Diego. and thanks for stopping by. Stay Classy. Thanks for stopping by.

Utah Lake Adventure and Other Musings.

It's been a wonderful fall. It seemed every tree has burst out in bright, hypnotizing gold this year, with hardly any red or orange, and I've been able to witness a lot of it. I'm immensely grateful to have the sort of work/life schedule where I can go out and enjoy the crisp air and changing colors and shocking beauty of fall. Unlike other years where I've had to tamp down my agony about the colder weather, for once, I was happy to put the summer behind me and walk into the future. In all honestly, this past spring and summer were maybe the most difficult I've traversed in my happy, comfortable first-world life. It's been a bit of a transition, leaving behind a good career and bustling office for a better career but lonelier landscape. Saying goodbye to my mare and finding her a better fit ultimately led to me taking a break from what has been an emotional, physical, social, therapeutic outlet and passion for me for many years, which in turn meant losing re...

Tidings of Comfort, Victory, and GIVEAWAYS!!!!!

1.  My Cranberry pie finally won!  After a tragic finish at an ugly sweater party, and being overshadowed by the chocolate pecan pie at Thanksgiving, my Nantucket Cranberry Pie (which I took to the next level with a chocolate cream cheese icing)  got first place at the office holiday party Top Chef competition. I am happy. 2.  I also coincidentally won a caption contest on my favorite horse blog, and for my witty mockery was awarded a gift certificate for horse tack!  As I currently don't have a horse of my own, I'm giving it to Camp K.  I hope my mother and her 3 horses, 2 mules and 2 donkeys forgive me.  But I'm still claiming victory on that one, and relishing in being mentioned on my favorite blog in the same post as my international heroes. 3. GIVEAWAY!!!!  I was inspired by a number of blogs giving away x-boxes, TVs, designer handbags, and gift cards to the moon, but I decided that you don't actually need to be rich to share the lo...
