Happy Halloween!

We saw the cutest infant costume EVER today, at Bellevue Square: an 18-month old, in a stroller, dressed up as an OCTOPUS. AN OCTOPUS! I’m so doing that to my kids! Went shopping, found the perfect little black dress, a little blue dress, and a few business casual blouses to wear out with my slacks. [...]

24 whole hours

Today was actually okay… I went to work, then school, snapped a picture outside Meany Hall on the way to pick up books at Suzzallo, came home and missed the boy. Laaaame. I wasn’t nearly as upset as I thought I would be, which is good, I think, because it means that I’m so much [...]

Misty mornings

Today was super stressful; worked from 9-1:30P, came home and ran around writing up my Landscape Architecture term paper outline and proposal, went to class, came home and watched the Forgotten then worked on my Landscape paper for American Art. For my landscape paper, I ended up viewing in person (for extra credit, yes) Frederic [...]

Here comes the sun

Today was kind of long; worked a princess shift (10-2), then came home and cleaned up before my fabulous skype date :) I’m just happy these days – it’s wonderful, such a lightness of being… Anyway, took a nap, made dinner and worked on my resume / cover letter before skipping out to see District [...]

Save tonight, fight the break of dawn

Well. Last night was hard, but sweet; filled with promises. I remember waking up for work and thinking Oh, he’s gone… I’m not upset, just anxious. It feels like everyone is leaving and I’m the only left behind to watch, wave and wait. It’s awful. That’s the really big thing I dislike about going to [...]

Quick, the draw bridge!

Long day. Up too late again; went to work from 8-2:30 – came home, cleaned up, got ready and went to my first Dominican Mass up in the District. Came home, about to watch Amazing Grace : the story of 18th C English abolitionist William Wilberforce and his fight to end the slave trade. We’ll [...]

hurrr

It was one of those days. You know, where it sometimes feels like it would be worth it to just walk out on your lunch and never look back… or gnawing off your hand would be less painful than staying at work. You know how it is.

Out cold…

Today… was an interesting day. Worked a half-shift this morning, realized that I’m not the only one who ends up crazy frustrated / potentially homicidal sometimes — always nice to be validated. Came home, passed out on my couch; woke up, went to bed and slept for another few hours. Yeah, I know – super [...]

“I’d like a venti half-caf 2 pump vanilla, 1/4 pump peppermint, nonfat, extra whip mocha — and like, could you blend it?”

There’s nothing quite like the horror of realizing that you have to be at work at 8:30 am the morning after a big party/holiday/etc. and this weekend was no exception. To be fair, it wasn’t so bad — we had maybe 1/4 our normal traffic, an amazing crew and everyone was equally exhausted (or otherwise…) [...]
