Paul and I celebrated love on Sunday by winetasting in Virginia. I have no idea which places we went to – Paul is the direction guy – but I do know that it took us about an hour to get there. We had a picnic outside before going to the first place. It was 40*…

It was 72* today. I wore a t-shirt and flip-flops. And shook my head at the folks in sweaters and jackets. Seriously? Just because the calendar says February 11 does not mean you have dress like it when the sun shines. I picked up my retainer today. Let's be clear, this is a substitute for…

Not really. Really what I did was put on a skirt and flip flops and went to Eastern Market in downtown DC. We got lost and then got scones and then tracked down the mythical Letterpress Man that I had heard so much about. (Julie, get a blog.) He had type upon type upon type.…

Quiet day : Sore throat, xrays for a retainer (hooray! no braces needed!), valentine crafting, envelope sorting, grocery shopping and letterpress purchasing contemplation (on the one hand there would be an actual! letterpress! in! my! house! but on the other hand, that is a lot of money to spend.)

Top photo: There was a dusting of snow when I woke up this morning and it continued to fall for most of the day. I am so looking forward to hibernating tomorrow. Bottom photo: I am slowly filling in my mini diary from marta's shop. I am being careful with this one and never forcing…

Today was a pretty big day. But the events are not something I am in a place to write about yet. Hopefully soon because man, am I excited. And I have the feeling that eventually my creative thoughts will come back – thanks for your patience and for joining me in this space. Photo is…

Because they will ask, right? Someday they will ask where I was and how I felt. I will tell them that I watched everything unfold on TV – and grumbled over the fact that I was so close and yet so far to the millions of people who flooded the capital today. I will tell…

We faced the cold to wander the capital mall this morning. I will be working for my PR job (I got permission to work from home – but I'll be busy none the less) on the day of the inauguration and so I figured heading in two days early to see the excitement and the…

  I have exactly zero young daughters, but have wanted to Netflix Enchanted for the longest time. It came and we watched it last night. OH MAN. It was fantastic. Smart + cute: just like Disney should be. Turns out watching real actors play cartoon characters is a real treat. Not so enchanting is the…
