If you’d rather bypass my ridiculous attempts to amuse you with really ridiculous witty San Francisco and BlogHer related haiku, then may I recommend heading straight for the good stuff full Flickr set. (Run! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.)
(Seeing as I took my characteristic fifty gazillion pictures over the course of the trip, I will be [...]

Friday
I’ve been working over-time for the past month in anticipation of having the entire next week spent non-working, and while I left myriad notes and instructions to be used in my absence, I still might have forwarded my work email to my home email account because (I’m crazy, and) I’m pretty sure someone is going [...]

Once upon a time, in a rented castle by a moderately busy intersection the sea, this particular K-e-r-r-i Kerri found herself with far too much time on her hands, and far [...]

Remember when I decided I wanted to start a sisterhood of my very own, one that instead of traveling pants involved a traveling felt (finger-puppet!) mustache?
You all cheered jubilantly “Yes, yes!” just now didn’t you?
I thought so.
Well today, my ’stache loving brothers and sisters, I am pleased to inform you that the traveling ’stache is [...]

April is fast becoming the month wherein we play host and hostess with the most-est, as many times have glorious! friends visited (Hi! Jen; Hi! Roth; Hi! Bossy) and/or been scheduled to visit (Hi! Grant) in the past three weeks.
Before the dawn of April our first long-time bloggy friend (Oh hai! Jenn-ay) visited from Boston, [...]
