I am typing this while my computer balances on the bottom side of a Martinelli's Sparkling Cider box. We have no coffee table. There are no books left on our shelves. Although those, the boxes filling our living room, and the cans of primer, are the only signs that we are moving. Our pictures are still on the walls, our bed is still covered in blankets, my clothes are still strewn all over

Tonite for dinner I took my solo self out to the Soy House and got myself a big giant heaping serving of rice noodles, nom nom nom, with a side of spring roll all wrapped up in a rice paper wrapper and filled with MORE rice noodle! And for dessert!?!? I made myself a big pile of RICE PUDDING! mmmmmm. And while this all may sound very sarcastic. It's not. At all. This rice puddin' is damn

Why do people blog? I began a blog because I thought (naively) that people used them as online diaries. I thought the world had needed a new place to rest their thoughts on these busy tech driven journey's. And they had found it in the blog world. I understand better now that many a blog makes many a dollar, but I thought and still do think that most of them are written by people like me.

This is an interview on David Letterman with Anne Heche, from well, right now. I found it so unbelievably irritating I had to share it with you. Immediately. I have never seen a celebrity act so abrasive. Fingernails across a chalkboard, fork against an empty plate, you know...blech. My ears are bleeding. I dare you to make it all the way through. Although, the spanx, pasty thigh, and

today's facts so far:1. I stayed up really really really late reading last nite and didn't eat breakfast until just now.2. My breakfast was AWESOME: one wedge of Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cheese, Bowl of fresh blueberries, and a frozen hashbrown in the style of McDonalds with lots and lots of ketchup. All that was missing was a piece of bacon or a really good chicken sausage...mmmm.3.MENDING

Today's facts so far:1. I actually cried a little when I left my husband in Seattle when I had to come back to go to work. Boy, I either really love him, or I am really pms style. Or maybe both.2. I was openly, and publicly, cranky today. If you know me you know this is rare. (the publicly part, not the cranky part *wink*)3. Davinci Bakery on Greenwood in Seattle is a little slice of gluten

And every single second was filled with bliss...Take a backwards journey of my weekend.end of the evening dance party for two...my mother and the bride.

Amuse Bouche literally translates to 'mouth amuser', and it is used as a tease from the chef. A very small bit of food served before a meal. A bite of something that encapsulates what is about to happen with the full meal. Your mouth starts watering for more almost immediately.So here you are sirs, my amuse bouche, or rather amuse oeil, an 'eye amuser'. Just a tiny teaser into what happened

I just heard, on my not-so-secret favorite talk radio program TBTL, that one Mr. Oscar G. Mayer has passed away at the age of 95. He was the third Oscar Mayer to be chairman of everyone's favorite wiener company.In honor of his passing TBTL played a little ditty from comedian David Sedaris doing the classic "Bologna has a first name..." jingle, as Billie Holiday. Ahem. I almost stopped the car

That is something that has been said before, actually sung, by one Bill Callahan. Most recently he sang it to me at the Triple Door.

I really just wanted to write that sentence down. It is not meant to be dirty, so get your face out of the gutter sirs. Does that ever happen to you? A sentence just starts rolling around in your head, nonsense, but it doesn't go away. Like a song. A song that has never been written. It happens to me a lot. We used to play a game in high school, my friends and I, created by Cori. It was
