A few random updates
+ As someone who prides herself on being really good at keeping in touch, I have been truly sucking at it lately. I have a couple of handfuls of D.C. postcards I’d like to write and get out one of these days—if only I could remember who I have already sent them to this summer. […]
close up – The August Break – day five
A rainbow of mixers. Swan Lake, Montana. Close up. Day Five of The August Break. (photo by me, contemplating my options)
Six years old (the blog, that is)
Six years ago, as I was preparing to move back to Spain, I wanted a means of communicating with people at home, of sharing photos, something beyond group emails. And so I decided, hesitantly, to start a blog. Six years later, that blog has become this space. This blog has taken me from Montana to […]
SXSW
Well, it’s official: SXSW has started. It seems like one of those things that you either hear A LOT about or not much at all. I was sort of surprised when a friend responded “What’s that?” last night, but then I remember that it is weirdly niche. And also huge. Hugely niche? If you live […]
Reminiscing, Holiday in Spain (part 3, Córdoba)
I’m back for the third and final installment of finally posting photos from and remembering my most recent vacation in Spain (which, for those who are paying attention, did actually take place over a year ago!). The first two installments reminisced about time spent with friends in Madrid and in Barcelona, and this third post […]
On catching up, baby showering, and blog inadequacy
Writing a quiet little blog like this one and feeling inadequate when reading other, bigger blogs is sort of like batting the tennis ball around for fun and then wondering why you don’t compare to the Williams sisters. For months, I’ve been putting off posting photos from this baby shower I threw for some friends […]
January movie series
It’s dark here. It feels like it’s dark all of the time, even though I know we supposedly get some light in the middle of the day, when I’m generally sitting at my desk. It’s supposed to snow or sleet for the rest of the week, and come the weekend, it’s going to get pretty […]
Happy birthday, Dad
Since my Dad fears/loathes the internet, he will not see this post. But nonetheless, I thought I’d wish him a happy birthday. Among his good traits: + he’s a talented and creative cook + he’s fiercely loyal and an excellent friend + he pays attention to the person in the room who feels most out […]
Getting crafty: Halloween crafting Sunday (pt. 2)
As promised, part 2 of the Halloween crafting extravaganza. These wine bottles in my mom’s Woman’s Day kicked off the whole crafty idea: Luckily for us, my roommate has been saving wine bottles and other glass in the garage for a while – holding out hope that glass recycling may once again return. All we […]
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
