Spoke too soon...
The phone is officially acting up again. :( My apologies to anyone who has gotten blank emails/texts from me - so annoying!
It's a Treo Miracle!
That’s right, I woke up this morning, rolled over to check my phone/email (habit that I do first thing when I wake up) and… my phone was WORKING!!! No spazzing out, no blank texts/emails, no checking voicemail incessantly… It’s a Treo miracle!! I am crossing my fingers that he doesn’t revert back to his possessed behavior from yesterday.
Seattle Design Blogging Series...
Last night Jamie and I went to a design blogging lab series held in South Lake Union (So-Lu says Jamie!) where Jamie’s favorite blogger, Not Martha, was speaking. The speakers talked about their blogs, how they got started and lessons they’ve learned over the years. All the speakers were design/craft bloggers, but the lessons are applicable to any space. I actually had no idea...
Technology & Water Don't Mix / Glad I Bought the...
Okay, so I write this in complete frustration. Mostly at myself, but also with the thought… is nothing EASY anymore?! So last night, after a fabulous Duck Dodge, I managed to ruin my beloved digital camera and my phone… all in one fell swoop. I am really talented. To be honest this really didn’t phase me at first. I hate to say that I am that clumsy girl who goes through about...
“I’m not bipolar, my life just is.”
– Devin, over lunch today, talking about ups/downs of his last month.
Twitter "the great facilitator of e-narcissism"... →
This absolutely blows me away. Working at a start-up that’s been trying to raise VC money, this just kills me that a company like Twitter can raise $15 million! What the hell do they have planned?? I started ‘twittering’ a couple weeks ago just to figure out what the big deal is. And honestly, I still don’t know. While I am mildly interested in knowing what the...

Article about American Airlines’ recent decision to start charging for checked baggage. Please put your seat-back up and your trays in their upright positions, this is the way travel is headed ladies and gentleman. Get ready to get nickled and dimed! You can bet the rest of the airlines will follow in AA’s path.
Netflix causing random childhood reminiscing...
Based on a random conversation with a co-worker about all the goofy things we used to watch as kids, I decided to fill my Netflix queue some some random movies from my childhood. The first on my list is, The Last Unicorn, a movie that I made my mom rent EVERY time we would go to the video store starting about age 5 up until maybe I was age 7 or 8. And, just to place this in context, this is back...
Great article supporting my need for a fabulous... →
I read this great article on the plane en route to Reno, and was probably the most annoying person as I kept reading parts to my co-worker sitting next to me. I thought this was fascinating. My biggest takeaway (although not surprising) is that Manhattanites’ carbon footprint is 30 percent less than the average American. It makes so much sense… I think in the future we should all...
WatchLadies and gentleman… Miss Erin Coffey. The video above shows just one of the many reasons that I am in love with my friend, Coffey. This girl can literally not control herself when “Don’t Stop Believin’” is played. She is pure fabulous-ness (if that’s a word). This video is from Saturday night at Lyndsy & Elon’s wedding in Malibu.

Randomly busting out into harmonious song might be...
Today’s hits sung together have included (and not limited to) Journey - Don’t Stop Believin and the entire soundtrack from Karate Kid 1 & 2.
"This wedding should be featured in a style...
Overheard at Lyndsy and Elon’s wedding. And, is that comment absolutely correct! First of all, Lyndsy and Elon are just an absolutely beautiful couple inside and out. Both outrageously outgoing, hilarious and magnetizing. This is the couple that you just want to be around, at least that is how I always felt throughout college. Second, the wedding venue they chose, Racho del Cielo sits on...
Me: “I need a nose job and a boob job.” Lisa: “You don’t need a boob job!”
