Many friends who have followed my recent adoption of my cat, Lars, and his subsequent health issues (as posted about on FB), have asked for an update on his condition. First of all, thank you for asking! To be honest, I have felt a little silly to have taken things as hard as I have,...

Welcome…no-name!
After months of thinking, asking and soliciting advice on everything from the cost of cat ownership to the best place to find one, I decided to visit a shelter after practicum this afternoon. Just to look, mind you. I looked. And came home with this guy. Doesn’t he have the most beautiful eyes? He’s a...
Birthday 2010
My 33rd birthday weekend was great. Nothing exciting, but a wonderful weekend nonetheless capped off with a casual BBQ with a small group of friends at Meg & Chris’. Thank you, friends. And thanks to all of my long-distance friends & family who called, texted & emailed! Your love was felt.

The Nines : Recommended
As a Christmas surprise, my friend Abby’s husband Tim gave her a couple days away, free from any obligations as wife or mother. Fortunately, that time away coincided with the holidays when I and another friend, Ginger, were going to be in Portland. Add in Molly who currently lives there and we’ve got ourselves a...
Inked: Part 1
While in Portland, a few friends and I were able to get away for a girls weekend where we stayed at a fabulous hotel downtown (more to come on that). A little shopping, a little movie watching, plenty of eating, and finally, convincing two of the four of us to follow through on longtime desires...
