Sunday Eve
Out at Caribou using the internet - aka I'm checking my email/blog/pinterest and Josh is doing our taxes. That's what he does for fun. Thank goodness because thinking of sorting through tax forms makes me want to put my face in a pillow and cry like the adult that I am. He takes care of … Continue reading Sunday Eve
Foiled Again.
Josh has this new game that he likes to play. It's called Call-Ashlie-At-Work-And-Pretend-I'm-Someone-Else-From-the-Parish. At first I had no problem detecting my clever husband's tricks. Either the voice was too ridiculous, the story unbelievable, or he would start laughing. Until yesterday. I answered the phone with my usual greeting, "Saint Michael's, this is Ashlie" and I … Continue reading Foiled Again.
Um, Remember That One Time I Said I Don’t Know How to Pump Gas?
On April 20th I wrote post in which I informed my readers that I had only used half a tank of gas since Josh left, and that I was hoping that the second half would last me until Josh got home....because I don't know how to pump gas. It's illegal to pump your own gas … Continue reading Um, Remember That One Time I Said I Don’t Know How to Pump Gas?

Probably because my brain has been sucked dry by the exciting literature and essays I've been hanging out with for the last 8 months. I decided to do a 7 quick takes in order to try and … Continue reading I realize…

I know I'm in Oregon when... 1) there are deer in my front yard...and I live in town. 2) my little cousin Rochelle dresses up, and asks me if … Continue reading You Know You’re in Oregon When…
A Couple Notes
So, remember the day our household goods were supposed to arrive? Well...the things from New York did. However, the Oregon stuff didn't make it until about 8 days later. Apparently the moving company misplaced one of our boxes and had to track it down before they could continue with the move. All of our belongings, … Continue reading A Couple Notes
Just Another Day in the Annex
It's official folks! We have a bed! Woohoo! Or, I should say, we have a mattress. After venturing to Furniture row a couple weeks ago, we picked out the mattress and the bed frame we want. But we decided to hold off on the bed frame because, well, it wouldn't fit into our apartment to … Continue reading Just Another Day in the Annex
Discoveries
August 18, 2011 Today Josh and I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond. After walking by the candle section, Josh said that I could pick out ONE candle. I.E. he wanted a candle; nonetheless, I appreciate the effort to enhance the smell of our apartment. After picking out bed pillows (for our bed that has … Continue reading Discoveries
