A Change of Heart

Those of you I have spoken with recently know I am already deep into the nesting phase of pregnancy. I am dying to organize every detail of our existence in preparation for Little One. Mostly, that means I have forced us into an all-consuming house hunt. I have been so desperate for more space/an extra bedroom that I was ready for suburbia to supply my demands. Tonight I decided I'm not as ready as I thought. Jeremy and I walked four blocks to dinner, crossed the street to Powell's Books, and then hit up Cupcake Jones on the way home. I don't think I'm ready to give up this type of convenience. Now, if we can just find the perfect two bedroom loft...

Did Hell Freeze Over?

No that's not Hell, it hasn't frozen over (as far as I know), nor have I seen any pigs flying around. I was beginning to think that might happen as soon or sooner than my next blog post though. But... here I am. I promise I have a pretty good excuse. I have been sitting around elated to be in the position I am (knocked up), and also sorry for myself because Little One is making me bow to the porcelain god a minimum of thrice daily. Here he/she is... looking all innocent at 10 weeks. Don't be deceived.

Smile Like You Mean It

I totally mean it. 

I miss my blog and I have so much to report on- my holidays, my new loft, and my awesome Saturday last week. That will all have to wait, I am currently in Denver with the Fam. Last night I had the best concert-going experience of my life.  My older Brother and I went to see The Killers. UH-MAZING. I have seen them before but this was my new favorite. They gave me a whole new appreciation for the song "This is Your Life", enveloped us in bubbles during "I Can't Stay", played an insanely cool version of "Sam's Town", followed by my fav- "Read My Mind" and topped it all off by making it snow paper confetti. Sounds like a cheesy gimmick but dancing in paper snow while your favorite song is being played live? I mean seriously. Brandon Flowers is an incredible performer. He is so passionate about the music, it makes you feel like you're part of the art making if not just witnessing it being made. I didn't want it to end. And Dana (my bro) is the most funnest concert buddy ever. Seriously. If you need somebody to go to a concert with- call him, he's rad. Below are the photo stylings of his iPhone. Not bad, huh?

The throes of packing

I'm warm and cozy inside while it's blizzarding (I know that's not a word but I think it should be) all around. Too bad I'm not doing something more fun than packing my house... who's idea was it to move at Christmas time? (Jeremy's... not to throw him under the bus or anything) I'm determined to be all packed before we head to Central OR this weekend. I think I just might make it. Don't expect a Christmas card this year though, I'm not that on top of things. Well, I better get back at it. If I turn my music up loud I almost mistake this for a party. Maybe not, but this lovely quirky song is helping me push through.

Traffic Light - The Ting Tings

ps- Technical difficulties- I have no idea why it's not playing the whole song. click on the link to go to imeem and listen.

All dressed up and no place to go

Church is cancelled today due to snow. (We don't get much around here and our little city is unprepared to deal with it.) We found out 10 minutes before leaving for our first meeting. (Just in the nick of time) :) Am I going to hell if I prayed for lots of snow last night? Grown-ups need snow days too!

"This must be what it's like to live in a snow globe" said Jeremy

I'm packing my camera in plastic and going for a walk. And maybe making a snow angel or two.

Something to put your STUFF in

This morning's update in my shop: Reusable shopping bags.

City sidewalks... dressed in Holiday Style

Last night I met up with Jeremy to join him on his walk home from the office. We took the scenic route cuz our neighborhood's so festive lately.

Jer waited patiently for me to snap some photos

(Rockstar was patient too.)

I want to come back here with a tripod. I kinda like it all jittery though.

Tonight we're going to watch the home team:

And I'm soooo excited to go see this tomorrow:
