Midnight snack

It occurred to me that the famous peanut butter and cottage cheese toast has never been captured on film (or memory card, for that matter). I give you tonight's midnight snack: tea and The Toast!


On a side note, why do freezers never have lights in them? Does Maytag think midnight eaters don't go for the frozen stuff? Hear this Maytag: I eat frozen berries before bed at 3am! In the dark! No thanks to you!

Or, you know, something like that.

Probably funnier than it should be

...and yet I can't stop laughing :)

Housekeeping

Hey! I moved! I'm living in Fremont now. Actually, it's sort of Ballard-Wallingford-Fremont area. I love it :) It's colorful and quiet inside... and right on the BG Trail! Woo hoo! Details of housewarming to come...

In the meantime, I'm also loving the fact that I have color to my skin (and feet, as evidenced below).

No words

I cannot even begin to tell you how beautiful West Virginia is. It was warm, sunny, and... just amazing. I'll write more about the trip soon, but in the meantime, here are some photos from our sunrise hike to tide you over. Steff, Mike, and I hiked to a viewpoint early in the morning, and this is what we found:

Thus begins a two week vacation

I'm off to Hico, West Virginia, tonight to visit Steff! A best friend, Gauley Fest, and West Virginia- isn't it almost heaven or something ;) I've heard so many stories about NARR from her and Munoz that I feel like I've already been there. Munoz assures me I have no idea...

This is going to be fun!

Time

I heard myself say something this morning and suddenly realized it may very well not be true. I seem to be saying it a lot in recent... years. I should just face the facts:

Life will not "slow down."

Things will not "get into a routine."

I will not "get settled."

The winter slump won't provide more time to "catch up,"

And the long summer days still won't fit in all the extra activities.

In short, time has become a precious commodity.

The Paperboys - Fall Down With You

Words fail me

I'm not a show-goer. They're too loud and there are too many people, but last night was the exception. The Paperboys are a five person Celtic, Mexican, folk, pop, and bluegrass band, as described by last night's opening band. But by the end of last night, they were joined on stage by their old bagpiper, two guest fiddle players, a horn player, and a saxaphone player! Add in elements of swing, tapdancing, and brass to come up with one amazing show. I know, it's a really odd mix, but believe me (the John Denver lover...), it was fantastic.

Oh man, I can't stop smiling :)

It's baaaaack...

Undeniably, fall is here. Pretty colors are starting :)

So Laura and I are headed to Vancouver tomorrow afternoon to do some shopping and see the The Paperboys in concert. I fell in love with them and have been listening for years, but I didn't know they were from the area. I'm pretty excited! Plus, Laura and Peter are turning out to be some pretty cool friends and I'm looking forward to spending some girl time with her :)
