A-Z
Posted on September 13, 2011 by KK in lists, random.This reminds me of a chain survey letter we would have passed around in high school. Excellent. A. Age: 28 B. Bed size: California King, holler. C. Chore that you hate: I just talked about this in my last blog post. Folding laundry. D. Dogs: are nice? I’m much more of a cat person because I […]

See the Grand Canyon (#3)
Posted on July 5, 2011 by KK in 100 things, friends, travel.A couple of months ago, my friend Dana called me and told me that she had recently learned that she had 10 (!) vacation days that would disappear at the end of June if she did not use them. Ignoring the fact that I don’t think vacation days having an expiration date is a very […]

Upkeep
Posted on June 6, 2011 by KK in 30 days.So occasionally, the fact that there are mindless, time consuming tasks that we have to repeat every day or at least a few times a week really starts to get to me. It’s sort of the “I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for 5 minutes??” Top of this list is […]

Things happening lately…
Posted on June 4, 2011 by KK in 30 days, lists.Quick post because I’m super tired. -Cooking, lots of it, new recipes. Almost totally finished with one entire section of our seasonal cookbook, woot. -List making (see new summertime list on the right) -Movie seeing, which is strange for me. But in the past 3 weeks, I’ve seen 3 very hyped summer movies (Fast Five, […]

A-freaking-men.
Posted on June 3, 2011 by KK in 30 days, work.So, I know most of the people who read our blog (all 4 of you) don’t work with college students (but Hi Meghan!) but I wanted to share this article with you all. It was published in the New York Times, and as I was reading it, I kept thinking, yes, YES! I KNOW! He […]

Try try again, or try something else?
Posted on June 2, 2011 by KK in 30 days, random.I’m curious how you generally react when something you try to do fails in a big way. For example, I really enjoy baking and usually, when people ask Dan and I who cooks in our relationship, we’ve become accustomed to saying that Dan cooks and I bake. I actually try to bake something once a […]

Things I Am Not Interested In…
Posted on May 22, 2011 by KK in lists.…that many other people seem to be super interested in. Am I missing something? -Photography. OK, I love a good picture. I would like to have many good pictures framed in our apartment. I like to take pictures while we are out in the city, and to be in pictures with our friends. I am […]

See Big Sur (#13)
Posted on April 9, 2011 by KK in 100 things, travel.Yes, we have matching sunglasses. Coming home from Dan’s birthday trip to Cambria/Hearst Castle, we drove through Big Sur on the Pacific Coast Highway. The California coastline is pretty amazing. Magnificent vistas abound. We stopped practically every 5 minutes, exclaiming “Look at the view!” The bridge in the last two pictures is fairly […]

Readjusting
Posted on April 8, 2011 by KK in family, food, friends, travel.Since I last wrote, we’ve been to the East Coast and back. Some travel commentary: Our flight from San Francisco to Dulles took FOUR HOURS. I am not making this up. They told us it would take 4.5, which seemed ludicrously short even then, but it took just a couple of minutes over four. Doesn’t […]
