Yahoo! Weather App
Tom keeps me some what up-to-date with the latest and greatest iphone apps. His latest recommendation was Yahoo! Weather. It’s a beautifully seamless app, with much more information than the Apple Weather app, or even the Weather chanel app. I enjoy the beautiful backgrounds featuring photos of the location from Flickr and Tom likes the…

Bread day- multigrain flour and wheat gluten addition
I’ve been making our bread since before Scotland was born. You’d think two years would be an adaquet amount of time to master my simple recipe. Unfortunately, I’m still rather inconsistent. Sometimes it’s a result of my experimentation, Maybe I’ll add three cups of rye flour this time, or I think I could really half the…

Birdseed Waffles
Scotland woke up this morning requesting pancakes. In keeping with our “Enjoy Cleveland” week, I thought, why not? So we headed downstairs, tied on some aprons and had at it. We made a slight digression from pancakes to waffles when I found a recipe I had printed out a few weeks ago for multi-grain waffles…

Eek! Japanese-inspired Felt Food
A few months ago I purchased this book: Yes it’s in Japanese, and yes that is intricately sewn felt produce. I’m not sure what possessed me, but I’m obsessed. (And fortunately, so is Scotland!) I purchased the felt online tonight, a wood blend from Prairie Point Junction, as our local Joanns’ felt was limited and…

Adding a little sun to my hair
My sisters and I had a highlighting party over Christmas. I was ultra conservative and the slight lightening we added, was only noticeable to me. Now, a few months later, I looked at my hair and moaned at its drab, flat quality. Oh, how I’d love a bit more dimension. Certainly I could do it…

Loving Rain: One
I’m determined to conquer Seattle’s rain and gray. Here’s my first proactive attempt. Here’s the most obvious starter: Maybe I should set a goal to learn the choreography to this song, and perform it live before I leave Seattle- Hah! Why not?! (I’m thinking of starting a rainy day soundtrack- send your favorite rain songs…

Blogging- stepping it up
Every few months I get this overwhelming urge to blog more seriously. It started yesterday and now at 3:00 AM I find myself jazzed and unable to sleep. I must write. Last night, Tom helped me install Google Adsense and VigLink. During nap hours and late into the night I poured over articles about increasing…

Twenty-seven
Happy birthday from my nephews Dallin, Bryce, and neice Claire! Yesterday, I turned 27. I can’t say the age feels particularly significant. Though, its placement in the year seems poignant- considering the changes that are sweeping over us. I guess 27 is a more appropriate age to learn to drive in Seattle traffic, to take…
