I’m finally admitting to myself that my post-Lasik vision of 20/40 in my right eye is a little problematic for stuff like long hours of computer work and movies. I could go back and get that eye touched up with a laser, but honestly it’s just not bad enough to justify the risk/discomfort — how […]

Fuck yeah for hibernation season. I’ve got a nice quiet routine these days, what with Mondays spent working on offbeatbride.com, Tues-Wed-Thurs at work, and Fridays focused on relaxing and being my own trophy wife. I wake up without an alarm most days. I take the dog out for a walk every morning at 8:30 and […]

I’ve got some gentle illness, a combination of a deep cough, general malaise, and slight headache. Here’s my recipe for this particular sick day:
Pink sweatpants
Pink t-shirt
Wool socks
Unbrushed hair
High School Musical 2, Season 2 of Buffy, and Zoo
Tomato soup and toast
Dirty sheets
Andreas will be home soon, and I will stay quietly out of his way. He’s […]

Getting over surgery AND a headcold at the same time is lame. But I’ll get there.

So much to say, and so much mucus to try to say it through. My light cold of yesterday has turned into a full-blown phlegm disaster today, but I did want to share this: we got two offers on our house and we’ve accepted one of them. It’s from Frenchman and his British wife which […]

I’ve talked about my love of Social Psychology before, right? I’ll spare you the full dissertation, but the basic idea is this: as social creatures, we base many of our behavioral decisions on social cues. If you’re curious, you can read more over here.
Social psychology was a major aha moment for me in college because […]

So I’ve been feeling better lately. A little more sturdy, a little less wobbly. And then I watched Bridge to Terabithia by myself and blubbered for half an hour. Perhaps not so sturdy after all.

It’s no secret that I’ve been a total distaster-face lately. I decided that what might be best for my state of mind would be to get the hell out of dodge this weekend and go camping by myself. Unplug, unwind, hang out with the dog and sit quietly for a bit. But then, gah: camping. […]
