If music is food for the soul, then my family is music.

Sometimes a beautiful symphony, sometimes a tone-deaf middle-school choir, always playing together.

Always enriching, encouraging, edifying my life ;)



A military helicopter just flew over my house.

I don't know what kind it was, but its vibrations were big enough to knock a couple of my dishes off the drying rack.

I can't even say how thankful I am to our military members and their families for their service to our country. It's the families that really amaze me-the men and women (the children) willing to compromise and wait and sacrifice while their loved ones serve.

Thank you thank you thank you :)

AAAAAHHHHhhhhhhhhh (sigh)

I have been working way too much. But I love it. And as long as they need me I'm not going to be cutting down on hours anytime soon.

Luckily, it is Memorial Day Weekend. Time to refresh :)

Time to play the piano, take a day trip to Chelan, get my eyebrows waxed (FINALLY), time to be with the people i love
(like my eyebrow lady)

burned out

just physically, not emotionally

l.o.v.e.

It don't have a job
Don't pay your bills
Won't buy you a home
In Beverly Hills

Won't fix your life
In five easy steps
Ain't the law of the land
Or the government

But it's all you need..

Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm

And I'll, be, my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

It's waiting for you
Knockin' at your door!
Every moment of truth
When your heart hits the floor

When you're on your knees then...

Love, will, hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm

And I'll, be, my brothers keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

This is the first, day of the rest of your life
This is the first, day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, s'gonna be alright

bad mood? mani/pedi.

there are streamers and balloons all over our living room.

funny how tuesday night i thought it would be so cute to surprise erik with decorations.

now on friday i'm feeling guilty for totally trashing the place and not exactly feeling motivated to clean it up just yet.
besides, we still have a lot more celebrating to do this weekend.




if you live in the greater Seattle area
hit up Julep Nail Parlor for a mani/pedi


they are super-self-proclaimed germaphobes and let you keep all of the files, buffer brushes AND the bottle of nail polish they used on you!
cha-ching!


check out my friend's invention for her 4 week old.
Sweet baby's two older sisters are soooo excited she's here that they won't let her get any sleep! They constantly want to be holding and kissing her. Alas, the dungeon!!


Oh....
[sigh]
I just can't resist saying, "Happy Weekend"
even though I think it is one of the top 5 most annoying phrases ever.
It just fits here.
Sorry.

dear erik,

happy birthday!

i love you.


be serious


seriously.



you are loyal


you are strong


you are creative


you're so laid back you get accused of puffing the magic dragon


you're patient


you are strange


you are Clark Kent mine
