Last weekend, the fancy Amgen Tour of California race rolled right through my backyard! Okay, not my backyard, but they did roll walking distance from my house. Mr. Rusty and I made a day of it. You know, Rusty is a really good dog. He is not without issues, but he was so great that [...]

May 18, 2012Sooey-Sigh
April 22, 2012I named this here blog after a David Sedaris story, have referenced a different story when my dog gave me a black eye, and today, it is time for the third David Sedaris story reference. Let’s start with an excerpt from “Get your Ya Ya’s Out,” in which the Sedaris family goes to visit their [...]
SWEAR WORDS
April 13, 2012Today, Westerman and I have big, fancy plans to hit the outlets and buy socks and such. Super fun! I woke up, and even though yesterday’s weather said there was a 100 percent chance of rain (don’t even get me started on the stupidness of that statistic), instead it was bright and sunny. Hooray! I [...]
Snack
April 3, 2012Saturday, I was hungry in the middle of the afternoon, so I cooked up a steak. And ate it with a mountain of horseradish, because horseradish is delicious. A while ago, I went on a hike with my friend Angelina, and when she suggested grabbing a bite to eat afterwards, I told her that I [...]
The Om Room
April 1, 2012My back room has been moved around maybe a gagillion times since I moved in (nearly two years ago!). The second to last incarnation of the room was intended to create a space for yoga. Then, last weekend, Westerman came over and told me the the room looked horrible with the couch in the middle [...]
Sheeps. Saddle.
March 21, 2012Sunday was a fabulous day. My fancy (not that fancy), new (only new to me) saddle needs some conditioning because the leather was sort of neglected and was not very pliable. So Sunday, I headed out to the barn to clean and fancify my saddle. Dude. It is a major workout. It takes a forever [...]
Gus. Oh, and Taxes.
March 20, 2012Today, my coworker was asking me when I had the foster kittens last year. I think it was right around May 1, as they were about two weeks old, and Gussie’s estimated birthday is tax day, April 15! Speaking of taxes, get this: here is an article (thanks, Mitch) about how insanely widespread the fake [...]
This Day
March 2, 2012I cannot express how happy I am that this work week is over. I’ve been fighting a cold on top of the work nonsense, and today the cold is winning. As soon as i got home, I made myself some spicy chicken soup with lime, and managed to splash some of it in my right [...]
Introversion
February 28, 2012Have you taken the Myers-Briggs test? It is a personality test that rates you on four categories, and was all the rage in corporate everywhere a while back. I officially took it the first time in grad school, and have taken it twice since then. It is pretty interesting, I can’t remember what all of [...]
