When we went to San Francisco the first time, we purposely skipped Alcatraz. Although we were obviously tourists, it just seemed too touristy. However, this time we read up, and Alcatraz was said to be worth it, even on the “Top 10 Things Not to Do in San Francisco” list. It was a good tour.… Continue reading San Francisco, Part 2

San Francisco, Part 1
Almost 5 years ago, we went to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park on our honeymoon. We loved both of course. This week, Joel has a work conference in San Francisco. I had a free plane ticket, so it looked like a fun, but short, weekend was necessary. Here’s the rundown on our Saturday. We… Continue reading San Francisco, Part 1

Part-Time Management Position
A couple of weeks ago, I received this in the mail: If you can’t see that, it says “Lauren, WOULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT A PART-TIME MANAGEMENT POSITION WITH MY COMPANY.” Let’s go through the warnings exhibited here. 1.

The movie chronicles the first year or so (?) of 4 babies in 4 places: San Francisco, Tokyo, Mongolia, and Namibia. This is a great opportunity to see into the lives of people in those places…and… Continue reading Babies…it’s not what you think
Our little friends
Here are our little seedlings. Here is my makeshift greenhouse for the ones that are still sprouting. Here are the herb seedlings I bought this week. Side note: I had a $30 groupon I paid $15 for–so $15 for all of these organic herbs! If you haven’t used groupon yet, you should check it out.… Continue reading Our little friends
Pics
Here are a few pictures from when I was in Orlando. All but the last two are from the day we went to Epcot.
Oops…where have I been?
I have been slacking on blogging lately! Here are a few updates on life: -I did not get the job. 🙁 Â They said it was a really tough decision, but in the end, they just picked the person with 15 years experience. I can’t really do anything about that one, so the search continues. -I… Continue reading Oops…where have I been?
It has begun
We built a seed stand. We set it up. I started onions and broccoli. Cue ominous music indicating possible failure or misadventure.
My largest project
Well, this is my largest project to date (not difficult, just large). I know we will think this fabric is hideous in a somewhat short period of time, but it’s fun for now (especially in our bland bathroom). I thought it would be difficult due to the shape of the shower, but it wasn’t bad… Continue reading My largest project
