Chris, after waiting on hold for many a minute with server support two days ago:
“I wish they had an option that said: ‘Hit three if you don’t want to hear our shitty hold music.’”

On Thursday Chris and I packed up (our entire existence, which mostly revolves around) Iggy, and a change of clothes, and headed an hour and a forty-five minutes in the sunlit direction of The Oregon Coast, to spend Thanksgiving with babycarrot sister and brother Will. It was an amazing trip, for so many reasons, not [...]

Here’s to copious amounts of family, friends and stuffing. I hope your Thursday was a memorable and tasty one.
Tune in tomorrow, wherein I provide photographic proof that Iggy is, in fact, a real dog. A real dog that can walk down long stretches of Oregon coastline and not get eaten by bigger hungrier dogs.

After I realized I [...]

“I didn’t have time to put in a zipper.”
“I was a total queen.”
“Its freak-out time here ladies and gentlemen.”
“My model loves my outfit, and I love my outfit as well.”
“You do? I don’t; I think there’s some hand-sewn crap up in here.”
“It’s so ‘dressed in the dark.’”
“Can you imagine the next day The New York [...]

Last weekend Chris bought us both bikes. We are to become Riders. Bike Riders, that is. With helmets. We are going to do all of this and not get run-over by myriad drivers probably looking to squish us underneath their hybrid whatevers. Or so we hope.
I decided new helmets translated to “pictures! of course! and [...]

Received when I was still working in Washington, after our third round of interviews for an assistant position:
“Thank you for the interview. The facility there is very nice. I like the fact you have a small office. Makes it feel more like home, instead of lost.”
I completely understand. Our office does eerily resemble the set [...]
