Ringing the changes
2012 was The Year of Waiting, getting all of our ducks in a row to move from GA to WA, with a huge drain on money, energy, spoons, and resources in general. 2013 was the year that paid it all off, but it was also a year of even more changes than expected - new friendships, changes in old friendships, an unexpected renewal of family relationships, ( Read more... ) -
some things just stick with you, I guess...
A little over a decade in Georgia, and I can still recognize the sound of a snowplow when I hear one pass by... looks like Seattle just got it's first bit of snow since we got here, though I doubt it will last the day. -
My life.
My husband is playing The Cover of the Rolling Stone.... on the kazooo.

Barnes and Noble confirmed they are perfectly willing to replace it (I called to give them a heads up, in case they have other copies with the same problem) but has anyone else found this flaw in their copy? -
fake sushi? sushi cookies?
I don't know what you'd call them, but a random conversation with a friend now has me sparking ideas on how to make faux-sushi with rice krispie treats as the base. I'm thinking press it down in a sheet over wax paper, lay out dried fruit or fruit rollups or even licorice1 on the edge, and then roll it up, like a sushi roll, chill it and slice it ( Read more... ) -
urban observations
I now live in, and work out of, a third story apartment in Seattle. The people watching out the window can be quite entertaining, and I have always heard this but I never realized how completely true it is.
People don't look up. They just don't.

If that sounds creepy, so be it. -
Still alive, just distracted!
Acat has summed up the ongoing changes pretty well, including my new situation of working at home to do the same job for the same company I did back in Georgia (they like me, they really like me!):http://autographedcat.livejournal.com/332519.html? -
made it!
I have been two weeks completely offline, but Gafilk is done and we have finished the move to WA - almost everything is even unpacked, but my pants aren't merely bankrupt, they have fled the country to avoid debtors ( Read more... )
