And they work awesome! Mother nature gave me a chance to play with them today. Seriously. The other night I cracked the window as I went to bed. I woke up to perfect conditions. Cool fresh air (but not so cool that I didn’t want to get out of bed) and just the right amount…

Here’s how my morning went yesterday. My alarm went off, I fell back to sleep. When Shawn’s alarm goes off a half hour later, I wake up again, and he sees me still in bed and asks me “did your alarm go off?” To which I replied that it had, but that I’d fallen back…

Note the new blog address. (Feel free to be lazy and not update links to the old one… it’ll automatically refresh to this one if you go to the old one. However you will want to update your RSS feed if you’re using a feed reader). It was just easier than trying to move a…

The Superbowl was great (though we did skip the half-time entertainment as usual). Seems like we had a lull for a while where the commercials just weren’t that great– which, let’s be honest, is why a lot of us watch the superbowl– for the commercials. But this year the game was fun (even if I…

Christmas morning, 2008. At first we were surprised at how mesmerized young Addie was by the weapon of a Jedi. Perhaps the Force is strong with this one…. Then we realized that it was like a number of her other favorite things: it glows. Yes, glowy = tasty.

So, I’ve noticed that comments seem to take an excessively long time to go through, and that often the same comment goes through twice (whether that’s from people hitting the button again or the system being buggy). At first I just thought my server must just be slow as molasses. Then it occurred to me…

You know, if someone has a problem with me, I wish they’d let me know so we can resolve it rather than getting up early in the morning to write harsh letters in the frost on driver’s side window of my car, haha. Seriously. What the H?

You know, I don’t hate Winter in and of itself. I don’t mind the cold, I don’t mind the snow (save for driving in poor conditions). What gets me down is when there’s just a jacket of gray crusty snow on the ground, overcast skies, and smog, so that *everything* is just gray and dull.…

Deliciousness that I look forward to each New Years, courtesy of Aunt Heather. Mmm… The Sloanies got to spend some good times with Jeffe over the holidays, as he was visiting from Maui. This was New Years Day, after watching “Yes Man”, and prior to heading out to Italian Village for dinner later on. (I…

Ahh… I had this long post written up that I was going to split into three parts with some festive images and peaceful Christmas music. Alas, I ran out of time on Christmas Eve. Of course, on Christmas Day, I slept all day, haha. Oh well– those thoughts will still be relevant next year 😉Christmas…

One of my favorite things about Christmas time is the music. Especially that music which uplifts, warms the heart, and focuses the mind of the Spirit of Christmas– peace on earth, good will toward men, brotherly love, and so on and so forth. However, I expressly avoid the radio during the months of November and…

So I headed downtown today to meet up with Mar, Jesse, Meloo and of course little Addie for lunch at Siegfried’s today, followed by a little shopping excursion at the Gateway with Mar and Addie. First stop was J Crew– so we had a little fun with the full size mirrors (could Addie be any…

I did pay tribute to Grandma McKinlay a few months ago, but I thought I’d post one more time as sort of my way of working through the experience of her passing. A way for me to explore my feelings a bit. I have a habit, from time to time, of shutting down emotionally (not…
