• List updates

  Posted on September 30, 2011 by KK in 100 things, city walks, lists.

  The list. Oh the list. I try not to be obsessed with it, but when I review it sometimes or go to check something off, I occasionally get a bit anxious. Then I remember that it’s not a real thing, no one is monitoring this, except me. However, all that aside, it’s also super satisfying […]

• YouTube awesomeness: Disney Edition

  Posted on September 28, 2011 by KK in random, YouTube awesome.

  While I really will continue to write more, I thought I would share some of the awesome videos I have been watching lately. Do you not waste your time getting sucked into YouTube wormholes? Pssssh. I encourage you to watch this several times, listen to all the words, laugh hysterically and then quote it to […]

  Kick start

  Posted on September 27, 2011 by KK in update.

  So, the summer happened. It was stressful. I worked a lot, a LOT. Dan moved our stuff back to Berkeley from Vallejo. I randomly went on organizing sprees in the house – which ended up well, but made a bunch of mess in the in-between time. We continued to travel. We went to weddings. We […]

  Posted on September 13, 2011 by KK in lists, random.

  This reminds me of a chain survey letter we would have passed around in high school. Excellent. A. Age: 28 B. Bed size: California King, holler. C. Chore that you hate: I just talked about this in my last blog post. Folding laundry. D. Dogs: are nice? I’m much more of a cat person because I […]

• See the Grand Canyon (#3)

  Posted on July 5, 2011 by KK in 100 things, friends, travel.

  A couple of months ago, my friend Dana called me and told me that she had recently learned that she had 10 (!) vacation days that would disappear at the end of June if she did not use them. Ignoring the fact that I don’t think vacation days having an expiration date is a very […]

• Upkeep

  Posted on June 6, 2011 by KK in 30 days.

  So occasionally, the fact that there are mindless, time consuming tasks that we have to repeat every day or at least a few times a week really starts to get to me. It’s sort of the “I just cleaned up this mess! Can we keep it clean for 5 minutes??” Top of this list is […]

• Things happening lately…

  Posted on June 4, 2011 by KK in 30 days, lists.

  Quick post because I’m super tired. -Cooking, lots of it, new recipes. Almost totally finished with one entire section of our seasonal cookbook, woot. -List making (see new summertime list on the right) -Movie seeing, which is strange for me. But in the past 3 weeks, I’ve seen 3 very hyped summer movies (Fast Five, […]

• A-freaking-men.

  Posted on June 3, 2011 by KK in 30 days, work.

  So, I know most of the people who read our blog (all 4 of you) don’t work with college students (but Hi Meghan!) but I wanted to share this article with you all. It was published in the New York Times, and as I was reading it, I kept thinking, yes, YES! I KNOW! He […]

• Try try again, or try something else?

  Posted on June 2, 2011 by KK in 30 days, random.

  I’m curious how you generally react when something you try to do fails in a big way. For example, I really enjoy baking and usually, when people ask Dan and I who cooks in our relationship, we’ve become accustomed to saying that Dan cooks and I bake. I actually try to bake something once a […]
