And Now A Place to Live

Yes, it's true. As Ashley so aptly put it, Surefoot no longer runs the risk of doubling as "Surebed." By the way, Surefoot is my trusty car, who you should meet some day. He's really a nice chap. So, if all goes well, tomorrow I sign my life away and will start my new life in a duplex. A first for me. Also a first is experiencing so much wood paneling in one home. It's a little overwhelming, but I like it. It feels slightly rustic. Oh, and get this. It has dark green carpeting. It was meant to be. And if Sayers makes it out, we will slowly begin the uphill battle of keeping that carpet green instead of white ;)

So, I Moved

I know, I know. My blog is barely limping along these days with a few sad attempts lately to keep it alive. This is the latest and greatest. I moved to Seattle. Perhaps I'll have some stories to share soon.

Saunas and Dishwashers

Today our dishwasher died. So we went out and scouted out the dishwasher sales situation around town. We found some high prices and some better prices, but nothing too spectacular. Well, then we were talking to a not-too obnoxious salesman (which is nice) who mentioned that he has a scratched dishwasher in back on clearance. It was the model we wanted. It was a lot less money. Sweet. It has some little scratches in the paint is all.... So today we bought a dishwasher of all things to to do on a foggy Wednesday.

Oh something about saunas. I forget what I was going to say about that. We're listening to Medieval Babes and drinking some delicious Belgian style beers and having a nice evening together. I'll miss such evenings.

Here goes nothin'

Well, my friends, tomorrow is the first day of training. Marathon training that is. It's terrifying. Exciting. Daunting. Ambitious. So uh... for those of you who have done one o' these things before, perhaps you have some words of wisdom?

Snow, snow, snow

We went walking again today. Three big people and a dog inn the snow... it's been falling since about 6ish this morning and it's beautiful. But dangerous. There are some cars out braving the snow and the ice, sliding and spinning their wheels just for fun. I don't know how much their people think it a good sport, but they're all creeping about the town anyway. The world in slow motion. The snowmobiles are prancing about too, showing off I'd say. We got to see all of this on our walk downtown. The dog skated about on some ice sheets and almost pulled me down. When I did fall flat on my back, however, we weren't on any ice sheets. I don't know what happened. I was talking about bad 80's hair styling... I was up. And then I was down. I'm still opposed to excessive hair teasing. And hair spray for that matter.

What a beautiful day! White fluff everywhere.

I'm Back!

So, it seems nothing's been posted for quite some time. And perhaps anyone who reads this already knows... but I'm getting quite close to moving back to Seattle. That's the most exciting thing I can think of this morning. It's January. That in itself it not very exciting, I mean what happens in January? It's cold. Sometimes colder, like if you were in Ketchum experiencing -20. I don't recommend going out of you way to experience that. What else can we say about January? It sort of reminds me of argyle for some reason...
