5:30 Sunday morning we were lying in bed, awake, because…well, we’re freaks, I guess. There’s no other logical explanation. In any case, our alarm was set for 6:00 a.m. anyway (see? Freaks!), so when Tara said, “Want to drive out to Cape Horn to catch the sunrise?” I did not resist as much as IContinue reading “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Idiots”

You Can Ring My Bell
We had the longest, most hilarious debate at work on Friday. It all started when I walked with Sarah to the post office.

This caused Sarah toContinue reading “You Can Ring My Bell”

This no-looking-at-the-phone-in-bed rule I instituted at the beginning of the year –Continue reading “The Long and Short of It”
Puffy Coats and Cat Sweaters
Audrey bought a sweater for our cat today. Suffice it to say, she was not a fan of playing dress-up. Poor Sydney. You can practically see “you shitty humans” written all over her face. Hey, I thought she was cute! Last week was pretty interesting. I ended up working from home Thursday and Friday due toContinue reading “Puffy Coats and Cat Sweaters”
