Let's move together

Dear friends,

I've started a new blog, mostly because I wanted a new name, and changing the name of this existing blog could lead to technical issues with updated feeds/follows, so I just went ahead and imported everything over to . . .

So, please update your follows, RSS feeds, Google Reader, bookmarks, etc., and I'll see you on the other side.

First of all, a big THANK YOU to everyone for your kind words and support!!!

Did you know I have 14 blog post drafts? It's common for me to start blog posts and never finish them.

It's been veeery quiet around here lately, and I can sum up the reason for that in two words: nausea + vomiting.

I'm so very excited to be pregnant, but man, I haven't felt like myself these past few weeks. I've been confined to my bedroom and working from home busy with those two words above. I've left this bedroom a mere once since getting sick (not just my apartment, but my bedroom). What's going on in the outside world? Without the internet I'd probably be crazy right now.

So, sorry for infrequent posting. My real life is a bit queasy at the moment. To make amends, here's our official "I peed on this and it said 'baby'" picture, back before my relationship with food hit the rocks:

Just a coupla' hipsters. That mustache reminds me: Doubt opens this week! Go see Seve as Father Flynn at the Black Box Theatre and have a grand ol' time. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Meowy Christmas!

Christmas cheer for you: here's some Morrissey with Meowrissy! This charming cat . . .

Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a cat crashing a car

Oh Frankie how I want you

I'm beginning to take the fact that I can't afford a subscribtion to Frankie personally.

Did I ever tell you I'm on Team Edward?

Just so you know: my job requires me to write everyday. Everyday I'm writing either a blog post, an article, a news release, a case study . . . you get the idea. And sometimes, my mind is just too fried to write. I write for a tech company and truth be told, I don't know tech that well. I now know it phenomenally better than I did eight months ago, but still, I'm at the amateur end of the spectrum.

That's why I love this blog. It's my release from this techy guru world I've been thrown into.

So, updates:

-I never got to tell you about my trip to Philadelphia. Well, it was hilarious. Story time: we went to Pat's for some authentic philly cheesesteak. It's the "King of Steaks" and apparently Larry King and N*Sync have eaten there. Not together, I presume. It's not even a sit-down restaurant, but a largish outdoor stand with a line that wraps around the building for all the eager cheese steak-eaters. The line moves incredibly fast, and there's a sign by the order window that says READ THE MENU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT HAVE YOUR MONEY READY OR YOU'LL BE KICKED OUT OF LINE. Something like that. Are you familiar with Soup Nazi? Good. So, the people at Pat's are Steak Nazi's. I anticipated this (thanks to said sign) and had my order and money ready to go, so I got my sandwich and was on my way. My coworker, who will go unnamed, was not ready and let the fear and intimidation of Pat's get to him and accidentally stuttered out that he wanted "cheesecake" instead of "cheesesteak" and was kicked out of line. FUNNY. Don't worry, my other coworker ordered a second sandwich for him.

-Texas! Just got back and had a great time with family . . . not much else to add because, truth be told, I'm not of a fan of Amarillo and really only visit to see my family. There's not much to do in Amarillo and there are NO longboarding hills to speak of so Seve and I are glad to be back in hilly, green, lush Idaho and all the longboarding it has to offer.

-Denver Airport. Known for its delays. Our flight got delayed which made us arrive in Salt Lake close to midnight, thus missing our shuttle back to Rexburg thus having to stay a night in Salt Lake THUS blowing money on a hotel that needed to be spent on car insurance. Denver Airport: I do not <3 you.

And, uh, that's all.

Well guys, I have some news.

Thoughts & Thinking

I've got a lot on my mind.

Oh No, Jules!

So apparently I WON a giveaway . . . and had no idea! I thought they'd contact ME if I won but I was supposed to contact THEM to claim my prize . . . normally I check giveaways I enter like crazy awaiting my name to be announced, but I've been so busy at work (thus the current molasses-rate I've been posting at anyway) that the ONE giveaway I win I fail to truly win at. So they declared a new winner! FML, seriously.

My prize to win were three kicken' journals by Carrie . . . and guess what? She loves me so much she's going to make me some ANYWAY! Ha yeah! THANK YOU CARRIE!

Now I just have to decide what kind of cuteness I want them to be customized with. Hmm . . . what says Jules?
