The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Apparently this was a weekend for trying out new places to eat, because this afternoon I found myself at Applewood ((I know I sound like a broken record, but I again have no affiliation with this place. Just blogging as a blogger is want to do.)). A coworker of mine had told me about it […] →Read more
Ever since we moved to New West, we’ve been meaning to check out Drink Urban Lounge ((As per usual, I have no affiliation with this business. Just blogging about it ‘cuz that’s the way I roll.)). It’s just down the street and anytime we walked by the place we said, “That place looks cool. We […] →Read more
Time for a check in on how I’m doing on ye ole 101 more things to do in the next 1001 days list. Since my last check in, I’ve managed to knock a grand total of one thing off my list. But it was a big one! 1. Paid off my students loans! Done and […] →Read more

After much talking about it, I have finally got around to officially registering for the Run for Your Lives zombie obstacle course race, being held about halfway between Seattle & Portland on the August long weekend. Special props go out to Dr. Erika, who brought this race to […] →Read more

Or are you just tired?” ((When my brother-in-common-law heard my sister ask this, he said in the background, “Oh no, what’s wrong? Does she miss me?” […] →Read more
So while I’m on a healthy living kick, I figured it was a good time to share some of the things that have been inspiring said healthy living kick. I mean in addition to the fact that I can’t fit into a fair number of clothes that I could fit into mere months ago (!). […] →Read more
OK, “saved the lives” might be a bit of an exaggeration, but when I was out for a run today, two little black pugs did appear out of nowhere and ran into traffic in a busy street. Thankfully, the driver of the truck they ran in front of saw them and was able to stop […] →Read more
