For him, not me. Lol! Cuz I happened to discover the Mill Creek Manor Tea Room. And more importantly, [...]

Our Mountainside (Re)Treat

August 30, 2011
Smokey Bear's Den

We’re back from the great state of California, otherwise known as the state where (excuse my french for just a sec) assholes think it’s perfectly acceptable to ride your bumper up and down a winding mountainside as if the road isn’t dangerous enough as is. Gah! Where was I? Oh, yes … Z and I [...]

I love surprises. Wait, let me rephrase. I love surprises, as long as it’s not a surprise party or a surprise “Let’s-sing-a-corny-Happy-Birthday-song-to-the-girl-at-table-31-while-carrying-a-tiny-cupcake-complete-with-a-melting-candle-on-top-and-hoping-that-she-likes-wax-with-her-chocolate” restaurant dessert. Where I’m the clueless naive girl sitting at table 31. Yeah, I’ll pass, thanks. So, what surprises are left, you’re wondering, right? Well, a surprise bouquet of flowers, for instance. And [...]

Adventures in Borrowing

August 22, 2011

I consider myself to be pretty well-versed in new technology. In fact, I remember when the hospital I used to work at converted from paper charting to electronic charting a few years back. And I was one of the very few who embraced the new system, and I even volunteered to be trained to do [...]

Calling All San Francisco Bloggers

August 19, 2011
San Francisco

Nothing like waiting ’til the last minute here. Cuz I’ve known about this for about a month. But, in the beginning, I didn’t think it was a real possibility. But, I’m starting to rethink it now. Here goes ➝ Z has to make a business trip to San Francisco in two week-ends from now. It’s [...]

The Cable Fairy Dropped By …

August 18, 2011
Burning Telephone Wires

Most of you don’t know this … probably. But we don’t have cable TV. I know – it’s both crazy and unbelievable at the same time. But it’s true. And it’s not (really) a money thing. It’s more of a “Our last cable company was a giant asshole and Marla yelled at them and told [...]

Fremont Street Experience

Last week, when we had a houseguest visiting (remember when I oh-so-very briefly mentioned that we’d been busy?), we took him downtown to Old Las Vegas.

Breaking SIlence

So, last Thursday, I submitted all my files for my final projects. One stupid Photoshop project and a fake website that I built literally from scratch.
