Catching up

December 21, 2012

I’ve been a little absent over here but after spending about 12 to 13 hours a day cutting, sanding, hammering, polishing, packaging, mailing, answering emails and so on I just couldn’t bring myself to upload photos and write a post. Today I finally feel like I’m catching up and it feels good. I should say mentally because physically I’m beat. Every muscle hurts and I think I may have pinched something in my back. Ha! All I want for Christmas is a massage.

We’ve managed to get out a little but I’m really looking forward to a few days off.

-envelopes to go to the post office. It’s been like this almost every day.

-a late night break to a Korean restaurant.

-it snowed!

-a candy cane to eat while I work.

 

-more envelopes to mail.

-wine tasting (and buying), using my camera bag as a wine carrier.

 

Fun in oregon

November 27, 2012

It was so much fun to get away for a bit. We had such a great time visiting with our friends and I really enjoyed being out of the city. I joked with Walker that he should just leave me in Eugene.

They took us for a tour of the University of Oregon (where one goes to law school and the other works). The campus was so pretty. What I was super excited to see was Hayward field. The field that Steve Prefontaine ran on. I remember watching the movie about him back in high school back when I was running track and it stuck with me.

Later that weekend we also made it to a winery with the most beautiful views and ended up touring a local brewery in the evening. Nice safety goggles! Ha!

On our way back to Seattle I insisted we pick apples at an orchard I found despite the rain and mud. Now what do to with all those apples?

We fried a turkey

November 26, 2012

Happy Monday after the holiday! I wanted to keep it light today as I’m sure, like me, you’re still exhausted from the weekend. I did my best to relax yesterday but with the holidays in full swing that was more difficult than I would have liked.

I mentioned Walker and I went Oregon to spend our Thanksgiving with friends. It was our first adult Thanksgiving. By that I mean it was the first time the meal was fully prepared by us. Our friends were set on frying the turkey which seemed a little freaky especially after seeing those insurance commercials. We were extra careful and we were quite successful! It was cooked perfectly and tasted great along with all the other sides we prepared.

Also next Monday I will choose an email subscriber to win one of my holiday necklaces. If you are not on the list be sure to get on it!
