Pardon the Interruption

Where have I gone? Where have I been? Maybe you didn’t even notice that I was gone.

I’ve been busy flying across the world country, packing an entire condo and then unpacking it into a HOUSE, painting, painting, painting, hanging things, organizing the kitchen and in general spending way too much time at Home Depot. We leave on Monday for a month in Japan and Hawaii and when we get back, not only will we have house guests, but two days later it will be Thanksgiving. But this year we have so much to be thankful for; more than I could possibly imagine.

Life is, to say the least, a little crazy and hectic so please pardon the interruption. Your regularly scheduled programming will begin again shortly.

We’re having cupcakes at our wedding instead of a cake (duh) and I’ve been browsing for some unique wrappers. But it seems as though most of these guys go for about $1-2 a piece, which IMO is pretty ridiculous. Plain foil wrappers it is! picture via

Late night theory

  • Friend: Do people hunt a lot in Alaska?
  • Me: Oh Yes. People pretty much shoot anything that moves.
  • Friend: Maybe THAT'S why there's no minorities?

This one is for my love in Alaska. Watch from :15 - :30. I miss you.

I spent the first part of my day wandering around Park Slope and then I took the subway into SoHo and shopped my a** off for a few hours. The weather was glorious—I was sporting flip-flops for the first time since August; it’s almost indescribable how great it feels to be back. [Photo from 5th Ave in Park Slope]

This is me in 2007 running the NYC marathon. Today I’m getting on a plane headed east—first stop NYC. Then on Friday I’m heading out to Chicago for the weekend to run said marathon. I’m doing this one with my best friend and it’s her first. I’ve been pretty sick for the last eleven days (in and our of the ER) so I haven’t been training—for awhile I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to run in the marathon, which would have been awful. It feels pretty amazing to know that now I can run when for even eleven days, I wasn’t so sure. That uncertainty and doubt was enough to rock my boat pretty hard. So this year I’m going to wear a shirt that says…Because I Can on the back. Because I Can. [edit: photo credit to @Hokiewalrus; I don’t want to get sued!]
