Apple-a-holics anonymous meetings should not be held anywhere near Washington. They should be held far far away. I’ve been quite the produce whore lover up here in the Evergreen State…but rather than list off each fruit and vegetable like I’m talking to my niece…how about a photo montage? Yes? Ok. And then there were veggies… Can it please stay summer forever? I want to live off of this seasonal produce forever!
It’s true… (Although I’m pretty sure it doesn’t give me much international cred in the political realm…just sayin’) I digress… Since Kyle’s parents live (more or less) on the US/Canada border, we decided to take a day trip up to visit our friends from the North. This beauty, known as Grouse Mountain, is just 15 minutes north of Vancouver, and is open year-round, with Skyrides (seen above) to bring you up the steep 2 mile mountainside overlooking some of the most drop-dead gorgeous views of Vancouver, Washington, and beyond… Seriously, the pictures don’t even do… Read more >
After our fun times in P-town I was sad to go, but I knew I had good times ahead of me. Not necessarily the driving, per se, but the light at the end of the tunnel…Kyle’s family! Unfortunately, there was still a significant amount of the I-5 to be tackled first. 🙁 We left straight from our Vita Cafe lunch. Why oh why I didn’t go to the bathroom first is something I’ll never know (and a mistake I won’t repeat again either). The Portland temps were approaching the triple digits and I was downing… Read more >

But don’t expect any posts from this weekend because (as we all know) what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas [and most DEFINITELY doesn’t end up on a blog]… Today, I had a trial run with my wedding hairdo. 😀 I can’t put up pics in the off chance that Kyle reads this post, but trust me, it… Read more >

Why oh why couldn’t I just sleep in? Sadly, I woke up before 8 am…making my total shut-eye time less than 7 hours. Far more than I used to get (back in my days of employment), but far fewer than I’ve been getting lately. My body was ready to go though, so whatever. After my first cup of coffee my mom had to go to the hospital. It was kinda last minute and she wasn’t able to drive herself, so I made another cup of java to-go and we were off. She’s ok, don’t worry,… Read more >
