  • She learned it by watching the television.

    Yesterday, I spent some time mapping out our drive across the country. We have decided that this time around, instead of site-seeing we’ll go the most direct route and see whatever we can along the way. We have decided to take route 70 nearly all the way across. Although Mapquest keeps casually spitting out route…

  • French Exit

    This morning, a representative from Allied is stopping by to give us a cost estimate for moving our belongings across the United States. I’m crossing my fingers it doesn’t cut in too severely to our moving bonus. Yesterday, I spent an hour or more searching for the cheapest one-way car rentals. Many seemed like a…

  • West Coast State of Mine

    I’m an emotional wreck. I’m always an emotional wreck, but this time crosses the line on emotional wreckage. I’m experiencing the sort of emotional wreckage you scrape off the pavement with a spatula. We’re moving to San Francisco. At least for a while. The past several days, I have gone from completely and totally excited…

  • You Can Count on No.

    Due to spreading myself too thin and my total inability to use the word “No.” I have managed to confuse and/or create new and uncomfortable relationships up and down the U Street/Logan Circle/Dupont Circle area. The Gap-wearing hippies I mentioned some time ago (you know the ones who have asked for 6 revisions and have…

  • Wedding Day (Warning: Post may require excessive scrolling).

    Whew! What an eventful holiday weekend indeed! I’m trying to figure out how to write all of this down. I think what I’ll do is write—stream of conscious. No holds barred. Let it rip. Ready? Get set. GO! Flying was uneventful and fairly relaxing. We took an earlier flight on Wednesday, as the airport was…

  • Georgia

    Georgia. Ok, so here’s the update: 1). Toby’s sister is like my mother; Completely and totally kind and selfless to a point of near fault. I am amazed at people like this and totally envious of their position and determination in making people around them happy (or at the very least content and comofortable). Kudos…

  • Cats firm

    I have been informed by the law firm Schmittle, Schmittle and Pook that I have been evicted from my home for neglect.

  • Nothing

    Toby went to work today. We made lunch this morning together, had some tea and left before 8 a.m. Good times. :] My cats are destroying our new, round IKEA rug. Oh well. I really don’t have much to say or add today. I’m tired. I want coffee but won’t break down. I want to…

  • Cats

    This just in from Melissa—Virginia kitties need a home! (I met them, they’re cute. In fact, Hazel was almost mine years ago).

  • Cats/Quark/tummy

    I get my cats tomorrow! YAYA! However, it does make me sad knowing my parents will be without them and I have offered (and I mean it) to let them keep The Big Guy if they return Pookum, but they have said no. I mean this sincerely that their happiness is most important. So if…
