Nate and I are just really stinkin’ happy. It’s a little weird, a little surprising, and a whole lot of awesome. Maybe it’s pathetic that, at 34-years-old, I’m enjoying my first healthy, emotionally-mature, genuinely happy relationship. I mean, I’ve been happy with other men — a shout-out here to Mike, who still kicks ass — [...]

Thanks Dave!

I Know, I Know
Barley is a Tibetan Terrier, bred to withstand (and enjoy!) bitterly cold, snowy, mountainous terrains. But I couldn’t help it–I just had to buy her a cute little pink coat. Turns out, I’ll be returning it. She is SO ashamed of it; won’t even come within 10 feet of me when she’s wearing it. Too [...]

Our House is Cuckoo Bananas!
Lucky and Barley enjoy the hell outta each other. They love to play, and play, and play. This video is pretty representative of their lives. The disgruntled rumbles you hear in the background are coming from Finny — whom I tried desperately to appease with plenty of love and shmoops in the background. Eventually, he [...]

I Love Pips
I love a million things about Nate, but you know what I love the best? He CRACKS me UP. The guy is effing hilarious. So yeah, his buns are amazing. And sure, he’s handsome and sweet and kind and all that BS. But he makes me laugh-laugh-laugh every day. Edit: Upon reading this, Nate says, [...]

Not That I’m Weird…
Not that my friend Leah thinks I’m weird — she doesn’t! — but she found this cute saying and decided that she could actually picture me saying it about myself. And she’s right. I totally agree. P.S. I am called “weird” frequently, Leah, and it’s one of my favorite compliments. I can’t think of a [...]

Download It!
I’m listening to Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble” on my ipod, smiling the whole while, thinking about Barley’s “issues” with the Traveler’s Insurance commercial dog. I giggle every time I hear this song. And, as an added bonus, it’s a legitimately kick ass song.

Saturday
After pigging out with Nate’s family on Thursday, we’ll be pigging out with my family today! Too much pigging out! But Ryan and Lyndsey and Morgan and Karen and Tony and Mom, plus Nate’s mom and dad and grandma will all be here, and we’ll have a fun time and plenty to eat. Nate’s responsible [...]

Happy Birthday, Cutestain!
Today is Nate’s birthday. Happy birthday cutest-head! You’re the mips to my pips, the “as it were” to my “so to speak,” the “no, you’re cuter” to my “you’re so freakin’ cute!” Here are some of my favorite photos of my cute-potato. We’ve been together just over 3 years, and they’ve been the best, happiest, [...]

Happy Birthday Megan!!!!
It’s Megan’s birthday today. We met in college, behaved all kinds of horribly, and have been the best of friends ever since. Megan is my very favorite. She has been a constant positive in my life, and I smile every time I think about her. Megan is one of my favorite benefits of living in [...]

Hobbies
Nate’s been out deer hunting every night this week. A few days ago, he said this: “You know what’s awesome? That you don’t try to stop me from my hobbies–that you don’t get whiny or mad or anything when I’m gone.” And I said this: “I like when you have fun. I like when you’re happy [...]
