Man, I could get used to winters like this. Today's high is 49! And it's been like this all week. To my Kansas-brain, this is nonsense! This is like summer in winter. We had a bonfire in our back yard Saturday night, it's been in the fifties ( Read more... )

Been a while since I've updated, lots of stuff going on. In short: I got the job at Green Cove! We are moving first thing Friday morning! If we can get rid of all our junk by then, that is ( Read more... )

It's a beautiful day today. I read all morning, then Ross and I biked downtown. We ate at Noodles & Co and sat outside on the deck with the birdies while going over French vocab. Then we walked just down the street and got gelato and sat outside and ate that and practiced French conversation. The air's still cool but the sunlight warms everything, ( Read more... )

Earlier this month, there was really heavy snow everywhere still on the ground. Ross and I were dumb and decided to drive down this alley behind Subway, which looked pretty smooth and had some tire tracks made in it. But apparently the tire tracks were from before the most recent snow, because there was snow filling in impossibly large holes and ( Read more... )

It was so cold this morning! I finally got out my slippers from where I'd carefully stowed them for just such a morning. The first slipper morning of the season! Where has the summer gone ( Read more... )

Day off! Everything went great with Ross's tongue, by the way. It wasn't as painful as he thought it would be, the recovery isn't as bad as either of us thought it would be, and it's really going great. A little swollen, but he's talking normally and eating almost normally. I mean, he was even talking normally and stuff the night of. So it's really ( Read more... )

Crunch time. Here's what's up: Ross is getting his TONGUE SPLIT on Tuesday! My parents are visiting us on Thursday, so I had to let them know in advance that Ross will be healing at that time. So they called him yesterday (the old double-parent phone call) to speak their concerns or something, and my dad convinced Ross to go ahead and tell his ( Read more... )

It seems like we've been really busy lately. We worked for a lot of days in a row, and then we hosted someone from couchsurfing for a couple days and nights (thanks to Suzy for telling me about that site, by the way, we've met some cool people and been able to help them out), then it was Fourth of July and we drove our ice cream truck from noon to ( Read more... )
