It’s been a year since the first tingle began, and the subsequent diagnosis. What happened afterwards was a cascade of changes… I wasn’t sure if I was going to write anything about this, but here I am. However, too many disorganized thoughts will keep it short… It’s been a while since my last post, and…
I wasn’t sure how to write this post… Or if I would. For obvious reasons, 2013 kinda sucked for me. Everything changed. But putting that aside, I made myself focus on the good things – because that’s all that really should matter, right? So here’s my list of the great things from 2013: – I’m…
Elvis singing Christmas songs – it’s the epitome of this holiday season. It’s not Christmas unless Elvis is with us. 🙂 This year, it’s just M and me; we decided not to travel, and stay home. Try to find new traditions, maybe revamp some old ones. I’ll be working on the Czech Christmas cookies today…
M’s birthday was this past weekend, and we decided to head to Napa for a few days! Hence my not posting anything for a while – we were too busy enjoying the sun and warmth! We found a lovely house through VRBO to rent, and it was up in the mountains, about 20 minutes east…
The sunset after a long walk this past weekend. A stop to sit and watch was called for. The picture doesn’t do it justice – especially since in person, Mt. Rainier is much larger and seems to just hover over the skyline. But, this is the best I could do with panorama mode on my…
Another cold day!! It reached maybe 29 degrees outside?? I know some of you are like, “pshaw! 29? That’s warm compared to <insert insanely cold temp here that is <29deg>!” To which I will reply, “Umm, that’s uninhabitable. 29 is uninhabitable. Why am I not in Hawaii?” Alas, I’m not in Hawaii, and with my…
Yesterday was a good day. I showed up to get my horse ready – today it was Gigi. She’s a sweet girl, and sports an awesome mohawk (as you can see in the pic!). The picture is from after the lesson, during lunch time, so hence her not paying me much attention, but she did…
HORSES!! I have always loved horses. They are magical creatures with an incredible ability to heal. I grew up only riding horses every now and then – on vacations and such. But every time I’d see one, I’d smile. I’ve always wanted to do more, learn more about them. Since getting laid off, and our…
Ah, bread. I wasn’t much of a make-my-own bread baker before… But now with GF in the mix, if I want non disgusting bread-like products, I have to make it myself (the stuff in the store is laughable and ridiculously bad). Although once we’re in SF, there’s Mariposa bakery, which is delicious! Excited about that!…
First off, I’m not that great with words. I try to express what I’m thinking and feeling, but often it comes out in only somewhat coherent phrases. So that’s why I try to stick with just recipes and quick little blurbs. But every now and then, I’ll want and try to post something with more.…
We just got back from a long weekend (5 nights) in the SF/Bay Area. We’re looking to move to someplace sunnier than Seattle (vitaminD is important!), and SF/Bay is a good spot, for many reasons. It’s sunnier (although that can be said of most places in comparison to Seattle!), it’s got a good amount of…
