Letters From The Bay, Week 12: Hardly Strictly Hugs

Part IV: Hugs all around
So that’s how we were going to play it. A tall gangly stoner with keys to a Benz, a missing roommate who probably had 12 tattoos by that point, an innocent bystander who probably regretted even waking up that morning, seven hundred thousand hippies, and me.
And we all had to get [...]

I’m a MOH no mo’

Well, that was fun.
We laughed, we cried, we ate, we danced.  And oh yeah – some of us even got married!
I feel relieved that everything went so well – nobody fell down, passed out, said anything inappropriate, or called off the wedding.  My hair looked stupid (never go to the Skye Salon and Spa in [...]

Really though, such a treat

Dear San Francisco,
Let’s get married.  
What?  Who said that?!?  
But seriously, let’s.
I mean, I know it seems kinda crazy, since we’ve only been on two dates and all, but they were so good.  The weather was good, the coffee was great, and okay, fine, I’ll just say it: I’m in love I’m in love and [...]

For LP

I got a sad little facebook message from my life partner (LP) last night.  She started out by saying that when she misses me, she stalks me on this here blog.  Thank the baby Jebus we have the Internet, or else what would we do?  LP lives in the desert of Las Vegas now, and [...]

The Reason Why…

…today is great.
1.  I woke up at 5:45 and went for an early morning run. 
Coldplay + the sun rising = bliss!

Granted, I did not run by the ocean.  But the last time I was up to watch the sun rise, it was in Mexico.  Thus, I gift you with a picture of the glowing Mexican [...]

Belated Birthday Bettys

Sometimes I get a case of the Bettys.  Not Betty as in Ford (although we commend you for admitting that you clearly had a problem) or Betty as in Boop, but Betty as in Crocker.
There is a part of my feisty, feminist self – deep, deep, oh so deep down – that actually loves all [...]

And by the by…

I hear you, and I apologize for not posting for a week. 
This week has been a flood of emotions, and I’ve been a hot mess.  And I’m pretty sure the internet has enough of those already.
Engagements, deaths, inner-office drama, and $64 million dollars have all entered my realm of existence this week and I can barely [...]

Weekend Recap: In which I turned 24

Also in which:
- My sweet boyfriend, The Mister, took me to the Symphony for some Mozart, Williams, and Brahams.  Very thoughtful, very sweet, very pretty. And then, said boyfriend took me to a late night dinner (which is my very favorite kind) at the Oxford Hotel.  Very retro, very ’30s, very us.  Thanks for the birthday [...]

I’m wearing my excited pants right now – are you?

Exciting things are happening, Internet! 
Exciting Thing #1: I am helping my lovely friend Allison with some wedding planning – her wedding is in three weeks (yes, we know, but fear not.  Who’s not stressed?  She’s not stressed!  I’m a little stressed, but I’m not the bride, so that’s something we can deal with…I think…) and we [...]

Not the Martin Luther way

I’m having a “communal hippie dinner” with my Lutheran ladies tonight. Well, at least, that’s what we’re calling it.  In reality, I think that’s probably just a cooler sounding name for “Good Ol’ Fashioned Potluck!”.  Either way, bringing Martin Luther-Approved food* to a gathering of Martin Luther-approved people is, naturally, the Lutheran way.
 
If you have [...]
