Happy anniversary my love. It’s been a wonderful year…
but can we go on our honeymoon now?
(Not that we’re that excited about it or anything…)

Many thanks to Shane Rich and his oncemany project for this amazing anniversary shoot. I love what he’s doing and if you’d like to find out more, be sure to check out [...]

I adore being married to a geek. In addition to the sheer joy of being able to geek out with someone, I’m always getting geeky gifts.
Like the birthday that I got an external hard drive. Or the time that my husband glued magnets to the back of our spices because we couldn’t fit a spice [...]

I officially met Elaine in 2008. And for the life of me, I can’t remember where we were…probably at some meetup or another. But that doesn’t really matter since it wasn’t until this year that we became good friends.

To be honest, I was way more nervous about the garden because I don’t have a green thumb. Quite the opposite in fact…. I’m like the Jack Kevorkian of plant life. But he asked if I would be interested in helping with [...]

Ummm…mic check, one, two, one two…
So, right, sorry about my silence. Honestly though, things were a little crazy in February, with less days and my birthday and a comedic presentation and a blogging conference.
There are no good excuses to be made about the blog neglect. But hey, I’m back and attempting to be better than [...]

Just thought I’d share a bit of my own personal fantasy world. Still working on a name but many thanks to Aimee, Micah, Grace, and Jared for all your help in making the band!

Bike to Work Day was a few months ago.
While the sight of all those people on bicycles was one to behold, I didn’t really feel like celebrating. It made me a little sad that some people only got to do that once a year.
Riding my bike is something I do daily. It’s how I [...]
