Twelve written out is such a funny-looking word, WTF? Anyway today is 12/12/12 (duh). I am not completely sold on this being an important date, because WI is trying to make it about Aaron Rodgers (don’t really like him, sorry) and I don’t like even numbers anyway, BUT so many of my dear family and friends remembered it for me that I felt obligated to observe it. So! Happy 12/12/12!

Today is connected to the number 12 in another way too, which is cool. Yay for 12!

Today is also Jeff’s last day of being 34! 34 has been pretty decent but I think 35 will be great too. Happy early birthday to Jeff, THE BEST!

Anyway. So I can’t do much here but wanted to say hi. ALSO do an EOTW. This weekend was super badass. Friday we went out for Jeff’s birthday with his family! We went to Ginger Hop. That place is so cool. Their service is amazing and the food is pretty good. Love it. Coldstone pie for all, too. A very nice evening despite the snow! I even hung out at a coffee shop for a bit between errands/dinner. Yay.

Saturday was SUPER SOCIAL SATURDAY and I saw SO many lovely people and met lots of great new ones! Aw yeah! It started with a new yoga class…I’m not sure I liked it. Maybe I’ll try it again someday. I just can’t find a good match! But then I met up (in my cute yoga clothes, haha) with Kristin at Riverview Cafe! (DID YOU KNOW I used to work in the basement of Riverview? For just a couple months. It was pretty sweet/terrible [sweet for the iced tea, terrible to work in a basement].) We had treats and caught up and it was so cool to see her TWO WEEKS in a row YAY!!!

Then I went off to my second social engagement which was seeing Colleen. We met up at Patisserie 46 and I had second lunch, which was pizza, a roche, and an amazing grapefruit soda. SCORE! I hadn’t seen her in awhile and it was super great to chit chat. Then home to shower! Jeff was out with Sarah but shortly came home and we happily reunited (I mean, after a day out and about that is).

I got cleaned up, said goodbye to Jeff, then headed out for Tricycle. FANTASTIC!!! I somehow forgot that my cousin Matt now lives here, AND/or that my aunt Barb and uncle Glenn would be there and so it was a nice surprise to see them. GT + Babs + Mattatat, as they say! Mike and Kaitlin are amazing chefs so I had some nice appetizers and a carrot soda. I even saw their aunt Sue and uncle Scott. Lots of interactions! I love seeing Mike’s pals too (Tiff, Jen, Tariq, etc). Anyway. I sadly had to leave shortly to attend my final social engagement(s) of the evening, which started with dinner at Hazel’s with Diana (divine!) then off to St. Louis Park to attend Melissa’s mysterious party.

The party was a super big hit! Apparently the cohost was Melissa’s new boyfriend. He’s a real gem! His house was adorable too and he knows how to throw a party. We were definitely the youngest people there, but that actually was really cool because everyone was SUPER fun and that made me excited (sort of) to be 40 (like Stephie shall be on Monday!). I especially liked meeting Becky who lives on my street, apparently. Cool lady! And of course it was great to see Melissa. She is a doll. I hope to see her again soon (she moved to Denver, but w/ a boyfriend in Mpls perhaps she will move back now?? ha ha).

FINALLY we went home, got lost, then I got home and it was late and Jeff was worried. SORRY JEFF! We hung out waiting for the snow – Jeff RAN to the window to see the first flakes fall – and eventually off to bed.

SUNDAY! Sunday was super. Jeff woke up, saw the snow, and shouted “YES! YES!” from his bed. We spied on the neighbor kid playing in the snow and marveled at the fat white flakes. It just KEPT SNOWING!!! It was way impressive and everything Jeff dreams of. The day then became a day of staying in, being cozy, baking/making food, reading and watching Vikes. GOD what a perfect day!!! At one point we were on the couch all snuggled up by the tree and I just wanted to be like that forever. Please? Awwww. My parents almost got stranded in Minneapolis on their flight home but somehow got on standby, yay! So it was a day of victories for all. Our unofficial snow count was 11.5″ at our house and that just made Jeff’s day. YAY.

Well wow that was pretty good. I’ve got no quotes or whatever but happy to have recorded such a great weekend. I can’t wait to celebrate Jeff again tomorrow…and Saturday…and every day! Hooray. Adios!

“Finally it has happened to me / right in front of my face and I just can not hide it”

—Cece Peniston…oldie but goodie! I should get this song

“Let’s fade into the sun / let your spirit fly / where we are one / just for a little fun / oh oh oh yeah ! // I want to get away / I want to fly away / yeah yeah yeah”

—Lenny Kravitz…OK not really but see below, a song from yore

time 4:18 pm feeling tired but happy wearing fuchsia sweater, black pants reading sort-of Lincoln book, but…not really music CHRISTMAS music! ready for bed next fixing things

What?

Are you ALSO disappointed in the decreasing frequency of lxforever updates?

Would you daresay, even, that Trike is BEATING me in this regard, just like days of old?

Yep, pretty much. Well…sorry. What can I say, some days/months/years are for writing, and some, well, are not.

(I’m even already anticipating what an EOTY update might look like. I reread some of that sort of thing from 2011, and, damn! That year was bad. Oh so bad. But, at least there were good things. And this year! Mostly good. So much better. But, there were of course bad things. And So It Goes etc etc etc.)

FOR THE RECORD, my two favorite traditional holiday songs are Carol of the Bells and O Holy Night. Just FTR.

I also really like Dance Party Christmas Mix and the Charlie Brown soundtrack…DUH!

Well OK. So far this update is a fail. I just spent over an hour trying to get something in XCode to work, I could not get it to work, then all of a sudden I did…something, I don’t know what…and then suddenly…it worked. I feel like both a complete idiot and an evil genius all at once. I wish I knew what I did! Gah!

Also today is Christie’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIE! May your days be merry and bright. A week from tomorrow is Jeff’s birthday (tomorrow is his last Thursday of being 34 woohoo!). THEN it is Stephie’s birthday (SIDE NOTE: her birthday is also the b-day of little Ki., and ALSO the b-day of my boss’s kids, which TOTALLY made me look like a TOTAL CREEP for remembering that on Monday when he discussed their party, but, aaaaah I can’t help myself – I honestly never forget birthdays once I’ve committed them to memory. AAAAAH! I’m a psycho birthday stalker I guess). Then LeRoy’s, from afar, then Elizabeth’s, then Mike B’s, etc etc etc. You get the picture. I GOT THIS!

I got TWO emails from former gymnasts’ moms yesterday asking about where to sign their kids up, also one with an update on a former beloved student (who is totally thriving and a totally great bars worker already – yay monkey-bar tricks). STELLAR / super cute! So happy to hear they are all continuing. Me, I continue to laze around and soak up the holiday season.

Did you know our house is the absolute BEST this time of year? It is the MOST cozy space EVER, with the lights, the tree, the village, etc. It just makes me want to be there ALL THE TIME. Jeff in fact is there today, and so was I yesterday – surprise day off! It was super super cool (and super cool of my boss to let me have a last-minute day off). GREAT, relaxing, wonderful random day off in the Cozy Christmas House with THE BEST EVER, Jeff. YES!

We had a most wonderful weekend. One of those hang-out, chill-out, supergold types. Friday was a super secret special errand followed by fried rice…yep!, Saturday was yoga with Kristin (first time I’d been back to Corepower in awhile, they were kind of jerks at the desk but the teacher was AMAZING and the class very very good for level 1, kind of want to return…we’ll see) followed by a magical holiday brunch/shopping. We went to Chez Arnaud and had the most delicious little pastries (and tea!) ever, then ‘Santa’ came to bring us candy canes, THEN a troupe of costumed carolers filed in and began performing. WTF/awesome! We were trapped there for awhile, then we had majorly productive shopping together along Grand. Glorious glorious day! Kristin is one of the most thoughtful people I know. I am very lucky to know her.

(OK so I’m doing EOTWkd now, FYI) THEN I did some more shopping by myself, then came home and just…CHILLED…with Jeff. By the tree. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice!!! We ordered pizza just to continue the total laziness and I reveled in it. Jeff finally cracked open his new video game and I finally went to sleep…

…then Jeff could not fall asleep because he was soooooooo amped up from the awesomeness of his new game! OH NO! However I used the techniques I had learned in that amazing insomnia book once I realized he was still awake (very very late, or very very early, depending)…and successfully lulled us BOTH back to sleep. SCORE me! It was very, very comforting.

Then it was Sunday. Got up, made raspberry chocolate chip pancakes and mint tea, ate and read and watched shows and cleaned Rudy’s tank. He’s so cool! Good job Jeff for always taking care of him. Then off to swim RIGHT at 12 which was great, got my own lane and everything, YEAHhhhh! AND free parking til 1. Suckas. I’m pretty sure I went somewhere after that…can’t recall…then home to make cards. Love it. Always fun. Card-made the afternoon away. Made us some best meal ever – yay for finally cooking meat again, ha ha! – and we watched the Walking Dead finale. INTENSE!! Then to bed.

Great weekend! Yesterday was lovely too. Hooray. AND Monday I had lunch with Tiffany, and a fun department lunch today too…score. And now to solve my JS issues (I hope).

Man! You know what else I was thinking about? How INTENSE this time of year was when I was in high school. MOSTLY because of gymnastics (although there was the added excitement of getting-into-college letters/NMSQT results being announced in ’99, so, that was cool). It was serious make-it-or-break-it time, and while I LOVED that whole life (duh), I don’t know that I miss how tough it made this time of year feel – it was like, I wanted to party/celebrate for the holidays, yet there was this added layer of DESPERATION (gymnastics-wise) in EVERYTHING. Whew! Lots of listening to “never gonna get it” and “fly away” for that, ha ha ha. Geez louise. So much drama as a 15/16/17/18-year-old, man. But intense! Whatever!

ALSO: I can’t go into detail, so this will seem ridiculous, but I have a friend who is really struggling right now, in a situation more or less completely out of her control (health issue) but completely scary. SO even though I know this is way vague and weird, if you could please think of this friend, that would be great. Thanks.

All right that’s about all I got. Looking forward to a few fun things next week. Holding out hope for good news to roll in. Hang tight (or loose), my friends!

“My! My! Time flies! One step and we’re on the moon, next step into the stars / My! My! Time flies! Maybe we could be there soon, a one way ticket to Mars / … / My! My! Time flies! A new day is on its way”

My! My! Time flies! One step and we’re on the moon, next step into the stars
My! My! Time flies! Maybe we could be there soon, a one way ticket to mars

My! My! Time flies! A man in a winter sleigh, white white white as the snow
My! My! Time flies! A new day is on its way, so let’s let yesterday go
Could be we step out again
Could be tomorrow but then,
Could be 2010

Oh my what a wonderful year. With the exception of a few things, and of course black, dark Mortality May 2012, so far, so good on this year. Heck yes.

I just got some AMAZING news from a friend about whom I was pretty worried. Not only did she have one piece of good news, she had TWO. YES!!! That made me very very happy, what great stuff!

Some less-good things did happen:
-My Uncle Joe passed away a few weeks ago. It was going to happen but it was still really sad and difficult, especially for his dear wife. And not to be qualifying one life over another, but he was just a really great person that this Earth deserved. Rest in Peace.
-Diana’s grandma passed away last weekend. It was semi-sudden and was of course hard for her and her family. Thinking of them (and her).

BUT yes. I don’t have time to update…sorry…but I did want to record this:

I open the door to my parents’ house and Ian is barging in. “Oh good you’re here,” he says and pushes past me. “Where’s Jeff?”
“Um he’s showering upstairs, he’ll be down soon,” I replied.
*sigh* “OK” Ian says and settles down on the stairs to play with his Touch and wait for Jeff, so he can intercept him IMMEDIATELY. Ha!

There was also a horrible moment where Chloe displayed her complete lack of understanding of history and Todd said sadly “and I was a history major…” HA! Oh poor Todd. Chloe and “Lenin/Lennon’s” tomb…

We also had a dart tournament, my dad and Erik smoked EVERYONE, Jenny and I gave up our spot to Jeff/Ian (“Team Jiff”) since they were whiners and Ian wasn’t fairly positioned in the first round. They still lost.

And anyway, I am extra thankful this year. ESP. for Jeff. THANK. YOU!

It was a nice weekend! And the house is all Christmassy! And now I’ve gotta dash. Happy Christmastime!!!

Oh Hello Mr. President and my favorite gymnastics superstahs…YES! My fave 2012 celebs all in one pic (well, it should include Michelle/Malia/Sasha, but, close…and Mustafina!)…LOVE IT.

Anywayyy…sorry I have not been updating. I’ve been feeling sick, so sleeping a lot to ward off sickness, so between that and work being busy, Super Duper Important Things like blogging (HA!) fall by the wayside.

And also there is not a whole lot going on…the election was awesome (duh), it is November which is fine, I went to St. Cloud to see Rachel play volleyball w/ Christie (I went w/ Christie not that she played, OK I should have just redone that sentence, anyway, she did serve at ‘halftime’ though), it is almost Thanksgiving!, I still can’t figure out how to make jqPlot print ughhhhh (work thing), had a graphic-design happy-hour reunion FINALLY on Monday (‘remember that party with the breathalyzer?’ ‘oh we were all friends so long ago’ ‘and still are’) plus super-deep chat w/ Brigette that I think Jeff/Heidi would rather have avoided, Jeff got a really cool jersey that he plans to wear to Gophs-Badgers tomorrow w/ his friend Matt, ummmmmmmm I think that’s it.

OH! I taught my last parks class last night…sadness! It was a really nice night though. (1) The troublemakers did not show (2) ALL of the students in my last aka favorite class showed (this is the class w/ 4-5-6-7-8-9-year-olds [yes wide range] who are rather advanced (3) K-glasses boy’s parents wrote a note ‘from’ him about how much he liked class (so cute) and S-superstronggirl wrote me a little note about how much she would miss me (she is going on to Richfield, she is so good and talented and strong so this is great news!) (4) My last class is just so fun, Ka. stayed after to play around and I chatted w/ her Dad who gave me lots of compliments on how good I am with kids…a lot of parents said that actually! I mean I know this, duh, b/c I like kids, hello, but it feels extra-good to have wooed those parents because I know they probably see a lot of not-as-kid-loving instructors out there. I should’ve been a 1st grade teacher after all!…JK.

OK I have to jet Jeff is finally picking me up! Yay! Byebye. (I sounded like Jenny right there, whoa.)

Wow.

Sometimes I still can’t believe we have a nonwhite man named Barack Obama as our president. And now we have him again.

Amazing.

This election was near-perfect. Just as with the London Olympics. The only things missing (Bachmann losing, marriage equality passing in Washington / Olys: event finals medals, men’s gold) were things I’d be getting too greedy for, after all of the fantastic things that did turn out: The President! MARRIAGE AMENDMENT FAILING!!! Voter ID not being passed!! Women women winning EVERYWHERE (even in ND – thanks Andrea) everywhere everywhere! Rape apologists losing losing losing, as they should. Elizabeth Warren! Tammy Baldwin! Marriage equality in Maine and Maryland! It really felt like a tide started turning, and I am so hopeful for that.

(You can’t get greedy after you get your hoped-for president/amendment outcomes and team gold/AA gold for Gabs. I mean, really.)

The only thing now that strikes me is that now, I have nothing to work for for Obama. I mean – don’t get me wrong – I want to see great, great things come of this second term, and I think they just might; and I’m (almost always) happy to support him; but now, what’s left? After becoming the first nonwhite president and making it two terms? (Just like with Gabby – so happy she won, but a little bit sad, because this truly is the pinnacle, and she’s so young yet. Alas.)

Ehhhh that’s fine. I’ll take it! I can’t imagine a better Oly/Election year in my lifetime, though, so I will soak this up while I can. (Crazy to think this may have been the pinnacle in that way, too.)

I woke up in the middle of the night to eat (yes…I know) and couldn’t resist checking the amendment races. When we’d gone to bed (um…after I passed out on the couch…classy), the marriage amendment in particular was neck and neck, and it was too scary to keep watching. The first thing I saw was Sara’s tweet at me saying my costume must have had something to do with it…and I got so hopeful and so excited. And then, there it was. We didn’t vote against equality after all; Minnesota was the first state not to vote such an amendment in once it was on the ballot. And I started crying right there in the kitchen, in the dark. So happy.

Also, Nate Silver/538 is a rock star. Just sayin’.

I’m also hopeful that this will bring the Repubs back to reality. Stop legislating morality, pushing your church on everyone, and trying to remain a rich-white-men-only club, and things might just work out for them. I’d be happy to see it, honestly. Hell, maybe they’ll become fiscal conservatives again, too. I can get behind that. But maybe that’s asking too much. It would be wonderful to see, though, some lessons learned from this, somehow. Let the Teaparty have their religion-crazed folks and get back to the basics, Rs. Hmmmm.

Maybe too hopeful.

Maybe Chris Christie can be it? (Or not. Hmmm.)

But whatever, today is a day to celebrate. Here’s to equality for all!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday tomorrow to Andrea and Amy, Friday to Waning Moon, and Saturday to Katy and Tiffany!!

“A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation.”

—James Freeman Clarke

Well well well. Here we are. The last big event(?) of this big, big year. And here we go.

First, some proselytizing: if you are somehow still undecided, and you are reading this blog, and you don’t hate women…..well OK if you are still undecided something is seriously wrong with you to begin with but whatever. But here you go: if you are voting for R-money because you are worried ‘about the economy’, you are worrying about the wrong things (“baby / you worry ’bout the wrong things / the wrong things” -Kanye). Number 1, if ‘the economy'(AKA YOUR MONEY) comes before human equality, you have some serious thinking to do about your priorities. Number 2, I can more or less guarantee we will see ’12 million jobs’ (or whatever) created in the next four years REGARDLESS OF WHO IS PRESIDENT. This recovery has legs, people, if Congress does its job and does not send us over the fiscal cliff (um…no idea about that, but, I hope they have their sh*t together…), this Recession will grind its way out and 2016 will be a glorious year.

That is all.

(No. Not really. I never stop. I’ll NEVER stop. And while we’re at it, VOTE NO TWICE, Minnesota. Don’t hate on marriage equality, don’t deny people equal rights, and, god damn it, do NOT change the constitution to say so. Also vote against sleazy voter ID, duh.)

OK now I’ll stop. For now.

What’s been up! Last Saturday I went to Mike’s Halloween party dressed as a lawn sign (a VOTE NO lawn sign…duh). It was most lovely. There were fantastic costumes, excellent drink, a great midnight surprise, and, most importantly, many wonderful people with whom to converse, all so friendly, too. Aw yeah!

Then I went to Duluth for a work event. It went very well and I felt pretty cool. But…it reminded me why I do not like being away from home/Jeff/working too much! What can I say…balance, man. But it was fine/good. It was a crazy busy week at work which is fine/good. This week…and the next…and the next…promises more of the same.

The hurricane hit NYC/East Coast and it sounds so awful awful awful for all. I feel so lucky to have power/heat/water right now and feel awful for those who do not. (I mean, not that I was in danger of losing those things, just that I am grateful.) “It’s Global Warming, Stupid” -Bloomberg Businessweek cover, which should hit my mailbox tomorrow. Still…regardless, ugh. What a nightmare, I can’t imagine.

Also, should I be impressed w/ Chris Christie? I kind of am…not sure what that says. But whatever. Good for him.

Halloween…we had a lot of trick-or-treaters! Lots of cute little kids. Only one rude group of kids, which was surprisingly comprised of a bunch of 9-year-old girls…WTF? So that was fun.

Anniversary! We went to the ballroom and relived our wedding a bit. It was open and all set up with the tables and everything which was so lovely to see. Awwww, wedding! What a great day. It was chilly, much chillier than the 60 degrees of 11/1/08, but that was fine. Then to Lowry for dinner…tasty but memorable. Ha.

FRIDAY we continued the celebration by hitting up the Gopher hockey game. I also met Amber/A-K for lunch at Wilde Roast. LOOOOOOOOOONG and amazing lunch/catchup! Amber is reevaluating life in Eugene. Her business has become multinational and she is about to take it to The Next Level, though, so that is also overwhelming/cool. A-K is in love. Lots of great news! Anyway. Worked a bit more then picked Jeff up at the eye doctor where they gave me a peanut butter eyeball(?). We headed over to Noodles at my demand and I had amazing mac and cheese. Jeff decided Noodles was cooler than he remembered. We were the creeper old folks wearing UMN stuff (just like a true old folk couple seated by us, LOL).

MUCH TO MY DELIGHT I discovered that Yogurt Lab, which I had expectantly walked by on Monday at mentor event, was now OPEN, and we went there afterward. AMAZINGNESS! They have sour yogurts, international yogurts, wonderful toppings, and a really cool/nerdy setting. We ate it up like college kids…+8 years. Heh. We then went to the game. Great game! Lots of excitement! Woman cheering for MN State in front of us! Teddy Ruxbin costume! Ski-U-Mah M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A! Pretty fantastic. I loved the energy and spirit and competitiveness, and Rau and Marshall. Woohoo! And Jeff has 3 more games to attend yet this year (me = 1, the Chicago one).

This weekend has been great. Slept in and then grocery-shopped/raked yesterday. Noodles Round 2 at night (no seriously I have a problem). Made cards/swam/laid around reading today (I finished my book, Defending Jacob, still pretty mystified to be honest). Soon to make dinner. Then another week awaits…and the election. The final game.

I’m not sure what to make of Tuesday (and Wednesday?). In 2000 I was generally clueless, despite being voting-eligible, and didn’t think much of either candidate. So I wasn’t too worried about the outcome (Ha! little did I know). By 2004 I hated Bushie so much I was absolutely devastated when Kerry lost. Even though Kerry was also a chump. I just hated GWB’s wrongly-sought war and I was SO ANGRY for days after 11/2/04. Drat. In 2008 I was completely confident in Obama by the time we got there, but was not in the USA to fret about it on The Day, and the results came in while we were sleeping. Then, the magic (ha. but seriously).

This year I will be here…duh…which makes me nervous. I’d much rather be on an Italian honeymoon blissfully unaware/then soaking up the glory. But. I still feel like this will be good. Just like Gabby and the US women (still so proud! tear!). It’s a year of gold.

Happy November!

Dear Jeff,

You are THE BEST!

I am so happy to be married to you.

love
your lucky lucky wife

-I also had a toasted marshmallow shake. I think I am becoming lactose intolerant 🙁 BUT that was COMPLETELY WORTH IT it was so amazing. Have you had one? YOU SHOULD.
-Chatted with Katy yesterday. WHAT UP KATERS.
-Lunch with Tiffany today, oh yeah…so lovely!

(Yes this is so great it merits this very short post.)

Happy Tuesday and GO OBAMA.
