What’s in a Home? Four and a half years ago, I wrote about the concept of “home” and why I find it complicated. I closed the post, essentially by pussing out, and claiming that home meant ALL THINGS. The truth is, it was my cowardly way of pretending to grasp something that continued to elude […]

Maia’s Baby Shower
My Lovely Friend Maia came to Seattle about a month before me. Our situations were very similar in that we both moved here from California to live with our respective dream dudes – who happen to be close friends. Over the three years we’ve lived here, Maia has become one of my most favorite […]
Good Morning, Seattle! Part 1
I generally walk to work in the morning and sometimes I’ll walk the crown of Queen Anne before I head into the office. Seattle is lovely in the mornings…
Lucky Brand Customer Service Fail
I love Lucky Brand. No no…you don’t understand. I REALLY love Lucky Brand. To give you an idea of how much I love Lucky Brand, here are a couple photos of my current Lucky closet: Here’s the grand tally: 7 pairs of jeans (of course not including the umpteen pairs I owned previously and were […]
Product Review: The Anti Cat Barf Device
I have two cats with two distinctly different feeding requirements. Roxie Loves to Eat Roxie is a fat cat. Her favorite hobby is what one might call “gorge and purge“. The rules of this activity are simple: Eat really, really fast. Relocate from hardwood to carpet. Barf all recently consumed food onto aforementioned carpet. Return […]
Played on Valentine’s Day? WHAT?!
Commercial holidays are exhausting…so essentially that means ALL holidays are exhausting. Valentine’s day comes with even MORE pressure than most, especially for women, because if you don’t have a cheesy, sweet, sizzling romantic evening with the man of your dreams, it pretty much means you’re a hag, loved by no one. So what do you […]

And as someone who has read more than her fair share of SciFi and Fantasy involving time travel, I’ve always entertained thoughts like: “Wouldn’t it be awesome if I could go back in time and {fill in the blank}?” This blank I have often filled with things like: Meet Douglas Adams […]
Cats are the Best Part of Dying
Unlucky me, I caught one of the plagues going around the office. I spent the last two days in bed accompanied by the giant wad of mucus in my face, a sporadic fever, and two cats. Though I was drifting in and out of consciousness, I did notice how differently my cats behave on days […]
Product Review: Toilet Seat Assault
When I first moved in with CJ and we were putting our home together, he indicated he wanted to “upgrade” our toilet to a Japanese-style toilet. He described a terrifying device that was meant to replace our toilet seat and toilet paper. I can’t remember the exact phrasing he used, but whatever it was painted […]
Holier Than My Friend Count, Part 2
As promised, I posted at least one atheist quote per day throughout the month of April, and am now (finally) reporting back with the results of my little experiment. Comments Comments for all quotes totaled 121 – about half of which were on a single and somewhat inflammatory thread. The remaining comments were dispersed throughout the month […]
