Hey you!

You sitting on your couch/in your bed/at your desk/wherever reading this blog!

I hereby command you to write a new post!

Music Tuesday: Young

"Hey!" you say. "It's not Monday!"

You'd be right, dear reader. But you'd also be a little too particular about when I post my blogs. I do what I want.

This song for the KC Turner Songwriting Challenge had to contain the phrase "everyone's a little bit crazy." Easier said than done as I struggled all week to make some magic. I'm not loving this one as much as last week's, but I am digging some of the bits and pieces. Enjoy, cowboy!

Music Monday: Happy New Year! Here's a song.

What was my first exciting purchase of 2013? Well, actually, a polka dot, chambray dress. (Gotta stay true to my roots.)

But my second exciting purchase of 2013 was a gorgeous new Ibanez guitar. Wanna see? You can check it out in this video of my first original song this year (and my submission for KC Turner's Songwriting Club).

Ushering in the Holidays

I think I'm going to start lifting weights. I mean really lifting weights. The hubs shared this article with me, and I realized it's completely true. After all, the only time I've been more in shape then when at my peak running days was right before my wedding - when I was pumping some iron in grad school. Killah.

So get ready for some guns. Well, first I'll see how sore I am from today's workout. Wah - I'm weak.

On another note, I ate way too much over Thanksgiving and the weekend. But that's how it should be. We enjoyed a spectacular Friendsgiving at our place and the hubs did the turkey. (I couldn't be more proud.) Plus we relaxed a lot, went on a City Guides walking tour in Sutro Heights that was really great, and saw Henry Rollins at Yoshi's with some really awesome friends. I get what all the fuss is about. He's really an interesting and entertaining guy. He has this punk-rock anger about him that he's able to channel into being really interested in people and human nature and people who are different from him. Sure, he's political and controversial, but he's not mean. I like that.

It's obvious in all of our photos - he loves me.

I told him to do his best impression of a style blogger.

Yay to Christmas in Union Square!

Can we all go back to posting videos of cute puppies now?

My favorite thing about social media is that we can all express our opinions and change each others' minds through our Facebook statuses, Tweets and Instagrams. The power of influencing others with a quippy ecard or meme is incredible. After all, when I was in the voting booth this morning, I whipped out my phone just so I could check my "friends" statuses to make sure I was making the right decision.

None of this is true. My real favorite thing about social media is puppies and kitties and other baby animals.


So this post is dedicated to everyone who has missed puppies and kitties as much as I did during this election season. Enjoy the clickies!






There. don't you feel better now? I know I do. Here's to filling up our Facebooks with puppies and kitties and other adorable animals once more!
