these look more boring than they are, I promise

I guess this doesn’t make me look like a very adventurous person, huh? I picked out the paint colors for my loft today. View it on flickr for the details on what’s going where. I guess the other exciting news for today is that I exchanged my Brita pitcher so I now have yummy filtered...

it’s mine!

I closed on my loft yesterday…woo hoo! It was kinda anticlimactic, to be honest.

whistler trip report

Now that I’ve had time to get settled back into the real world—you know, work, doing laundry, and all that jazz—I guess I’ll finally write up my recent trip to Whistler. Warning: this is really long.

headed home

I’m at the hotel in Vancouver getting ready to head home today. This was the last photo of the trip, taken yesterday after my last run at Whistler. Then my camera broke! So no photos from our miserable five-hour bus ride to Vancouver (the usual trip is only 2.5 hours, but the weather was so...
