And Happy Birthday Daniel! His birthday was yesterday but since he turned 31 and his favorite holiday is Halloween, I felt saving this for today was appropriate. I’ve known him for nearly 11 years and I love him more everyday. When we first started dating I thought my heart would explode from so much emotion … More Happy Friday (and Happy Halloween)!
Danny and I have the worst luck with anniversary photos. This picture isn’t the best quality but at least it’s better than last year’s blurred selfie. I started the week with marriage advice and will end it with wedding advice. It’s your day, do what makes you happy: During the planning process it may seem … More Happy Friday!
What a week! I was busy from start to finish. It felt great and there’s no letting up. This morning I went to a productive breakfast meeting and will be ending it with Mom and Aunt Margaret at the DIA. I strive to meet what I call the Roosevelt Standard and I feel like I’m … More Happy Friday!
Yesterday I had breakfast with my favorite person in the world. This isn’t an overstatement, it’s a long established fact. My runners up are aware of this and accept it. Michael Hughes was my high school history teacher and go-to person for many years. As is the case with most teenagers, I was dramatic and … More Happy Friday!
The West Wing ruined me. The characters on this show fanned the flames of my pre-existing interest in government and politics. The West Wing is a stark contrast to the political shows on television now: House of Cards, Scandal and VEEP. Those shows feed into the cynicism that pervades society these days. The West Wing … More Happy Friday!
I’m ashamed to admit I’m one of the people identified by Emma Watson in her speech to the United Nations. For a long time I did not understand the meaning of the word feminism. I let myself believe it was a dirty word and publicly declared on many occasions that I was an anti-feminist. I … More Happy Friday!
Another house we saw on the University District tour was Gilda Radner’s childhood home. Radner an original cast member on SNL. Unlike most homes in the UD this one is unoccupied but it’s a beautiful house and I’m sure someone will purchase it for renovation. As far as the weekend go this one is action … More Happy Friday!
I love Kate Middleton’s fashion. She has a half foot on me so I can’t pull off most of her looks but there are a couple staple pieces I keep an eye out for. Last year I found a sweater similar to the one she wears and this year I finally found a striped shirt. … More Happy Friday!
Football is back! I never watched sports before dating Danny but now I love it. I prefer the NFL to college but I watch both. We are Lions fans although we annually debate picking a new team to experience some quality football. For better but usually for worse we support the Honolulu Blue. The schedule … More Happy Friday!
Notice anything different about the blog? I finally figured out how to create a navigation bar. Remember that comment I made about how I fretted for months about buying stock and then discovered it was super simple? Yep, that happened again. Turns out improving this site could have happened months ago. Better late than never … More Happy Friday!
