Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace. --Frederick Buechner

a very monday-ish post

Whelp, I blinked and it's Monday again. Spent most of the weekend over in Seattle for Grace's bridal shower, followed by a quick trip to IKEA, and then off to her bachelorette party... Italian food courtesy of Buca de Beppo's (best chicken marsala EVER), and quite, um, fond memories courtesy of my first visit to Cowgirls, Inc. (think a Seattle attempt at Coyote Ugly)... all I'll say is this: Gracie rides a mean mechanical bull. Some of the girls there were friends of mine from up in Bellingham, so it was great to catch up and reconnect. Sometimes you just need a good girls' night out. (Mission accomplished).

Am hopefully going to have a good weekend out coming up soon... Jules and I are headed down to the Oregon coast soon for some R & R... making a few memories together before she ditches me for the glories of Bend, OR next month... something about following her dreams and all that. :) I am so proud of her for taking this step of faith. It has been amazing to watch this whole process, from the I-wonder stage, to the packing-bags stage. It's been awe-inspiring. God is good. However, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself once she's gone. (one thing is for sure... Alias parties will have lost their joy forever).

So, to unabashedly copy Myles (and partially because I saw my name crop up a few times over there)... I will ask the question as well: who ARE you people? Time to 'fess up, folks. (On a more serious note, I'd really like to know. Don't force me to beg).

Name:

What you'd like to see a post on (and please don't say "whatever you want"):

Alrighty, me to my Thai lunch with Julie, you to your work. Have a happy Monday.


(HEY HEY! U2 will be in Seattle April 24th! barring major disaster, I'll be there too!)
