Desperately trying to finish this before I leave:
So I can start this.
And packing and last-minute wedding planning. And…. oh yeah! Sanity.
Still here.
Quick report.
Things are crazy here, what with the last minute wedding preparations, frenzied knitting (to finish samples before I go), the diminished space in our apartment (due to wedding packages!)
Posting will probably be a little light in the next few weeks. I’m working at my temp job until this Thursday, and then the little sis flies [...]
The Difference Between Girls and Boys.
This morning I got this:
Dear Laura:
Tomorrow, I plan to go to the Men’s Wearhouse, but I need to know the color tie and cummerbund you’d like me to get as a first choice. Was it white? Ivory?
Love,Dad
I sent this back:
Dad:
Ivory. If you want to match the groomsmen they got something called Tuscany Bisque.
Love,Laura

Denied?
When I made the decision to quit my job in Los Angeles and relocate to the Midwest, I knew certain things wouldn’t be easy. Since starting work after college, I hadn’t given much thought to what it actually takes to get medical insurance coverage, since I was always eligible for the group plan at the [...]
Knitting update.
There is not enough knitting happening at all. However, I did manage to take another step forward in my Winnie the Pooh project. Here is Eeyore:
He joins Pooh and Tigger. Next up: Piglet!
Weekend in photos.
We managed to accomplish quite a bit this weekend. Yesterday we did wedding and clothes shopping, ran errands, and found a tasty lunch. Last night we saw Hellboy II – I liked it a lot better than the first. This morning we got up really early and went out to kayak at Longview [...]
Positively HILARIOUS
I decided to take a short break from the heavier non-fiction I’ve been delving into last week, and picked up a copy of Tony Hawks’ Playing the Moldovans at Tennis.
I first learned about Tony Hawks some years ago during an NPR interview he did during the launch of his book Traveling ‘Round Ireland [...]
Positively HORRIBLE
I don’t know if you’ve heard too much about it, but Dr. Horrible is the new craze that’s sweeping the (geek) nation. Dr. Horrible is the latest series from Joss Whedon, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion. They sing, they dance, they do their laundry a lot. So far only two 13-minute [...]
Well Whaddya Know?
Guess who’s getting married on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s birthday? How perfect is that? Couldn’t be better if I’d planned it that way….
(which of course I did…. NOT!)
Fresh sourdough bread.
I’d mentioned to Wes a while back, that now that I’m living in Kansas I thought I would like to join a CSA. (Los Angeles isn’t exactly rife with farm life…) If you’re not familiar with the term CSA it stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically you join a group and deposit some money and [...]
