why? just because they're so stinkin cute...

otis, otasha, mr.adventure.

he's been missing since saturday. hoping he's found a wife or joined the circus, because i'm too sad to think that anything terrible could have happened.

driving home from nina's dance studio, i saw a squished, bloody, grey, furry mass on the side of the road. nearly slammed on the brakes, whipped the car around. heart in my throat.

got close, only to find a gross opossum.

 i'm hoping he finds his way back.

lovely spring morning, i think, it's going to be a great drive to ellensburg.

i got the TO part right, it was the FROM part that blew.

a supposed (say that because we never passed any wreckage) semi collision on I-90 took up all westbound and east bound lanes. 25 mile back up. no detour nor turn around.

traffic totally stopped. so i get out to take a couple of pics.

 lots of people out of their vehicles. even saw a guy in a lawn chair in the grassy median with his laptop.

5 hours later we are home. thank the jesus.

i need a nap.

added the follower button, again. totally bummed me out to login and see "you have no followers" boo! so, i'm putting us out there - don't let me down people! please?

on a side note - mickey stayed home with me today. going to see the neurosurgeon for a consult re: my back. hopefully he will have a brilliant plan for me because this sucks. bad. living life the way you want to is kinda hard when you can't sit/stand/walk/sleep without hurting and/or looking like a 138 year old woman.

i took katie back to ellensburg today (only to pick her up again on friday, but whatev). and look what i found while driving through snoqualmie pass. are you kidding me? it was full-on snowing. SNOWING.  thought this was supposed to be spring. but, on a positive note - UPS delivered my summer shoes today. TOMS in chocolate brown. soo comfy! i feel a new obsession coming on. kinda like the 68 scrub tops, 24 long sleeve tshirts, 7 pairs of danskos... hey, i like what i like.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAITYLN RENEE!

ok, people. feeling like i'm going to be talking to myself because we have no friends don't have any followers yet. but i remain hopeful.

katie is home for the weekend. it's her 19th birthday tomorrow. it's crazy to think about how much time has gone by. seems to me to be flying. plan for today is to get stuff to make pies for her. i'll post pics if 1. the pies turn out well, 2. if i can figure out how to post 'em.

since we never answer the phone (because no one likes to talk on it) and rarely see our friends and family (because we're too busy, working, too tired, whatev), i'm going to try this blog thing to share with you what it is we are up to.  don't expect a daily report because, well, who wants to hear "...went to school/work, made/ate dinner, then went to bed" every day? but, i will post a little sumpin-sumpin every couple o' days so that y'all don't think we've fallen off the face of the earth.
