Shortest. Weekend. Ever.

By jesser | Published: 8:28 am

Well that was officially the shortest weekend ever. Seriously. I feel like I just left work and I'm already back. Friday, Matt and I had date night. We went to Red Lobster because we were both wanting to have their Cheddar Bay Biscuits (you know what I'm talking 'bout). Yum. I honestly don't recall what [...]

Happy Friday!

By jesser | Published: 8:20 am

I don't know about the rest of you, but it has been one LOOOOOOONG week for me. Not to say that it's been bad or anything. Just long. And a bit weird. But that's another story entirely. We don't have big plans for this weekend for a change. We're tentatively having a “date night” tonight [...]

Izze Drinks

By jesser | Published: 12:44 pm

I had no idea until a few days ago that Izze sparking drinks were homegrown in CO … they originate in Boulder, about 15 miles away from where I live. So now I'm wondering if people in other states have had the excellent Izze drinks. I hope so … I feel like they kinda got [...]

I've been tagged by Ani! 1. The book nearest me: Manual for the new camera … does that count? If not Marley and Me, the book Matt's currently (re)reading to me. 2. Stretch your left arm, what do you touch? my bulliten board 3. Last thing you watched on TV? Monk 4. Without looking, what [...]

New Camera at Play

By jesser | Published: 8:35 am

We took a little trip to Georgetown on Sunday to play around with the new camera. It's a cute little old-fashioned town with naturey things nearby, so it offered a pretty good selection of things to photograph. Above are a few of the best … here's the rest. We're getting better, honest.

Another Busy Weekend

By jesser | Published: 8:15 am

Of course, it was another busy weekend. My day on Friday started extra early because we had our quarterly breakfast meeting at work … but that allowed me to leave earlier too and go home to hang out with Loki and have a nap. In the evening, my parents and Kelly picked me up and [...]

60 Buck Chucks

By jesser | Published: 8:28 am

I saw on the Readymade Blog where you can customize a pair of Chuck Taylors to your specifications (within their parameters of course!) and even put your name on them (sorta like Nike ID, i suppose). If I didn't already own a bazillion pairs of sneakers, I might have to get them … Anyhoo, you [...]

Snaps

By jesser | Published: 9:26 am

Ever since we got out of college (over 4 years ago), Matt and I have been wanting to get a digital SLR… but it was never quite the right time, money wise. In high school, and some into college, Matt used his film SLR, but by the time you pay for film and processing, film [...]

Who Needs Sleep?

By jesser | Published: 8:40 am

Usually, I'm a champion sleeper. World class. I get into bed, I fall asleep and I sleep straight through the night. Rarely do I dream (or that I remember anyhow). It's nice. Lately, though, sleep has been a bit tricky for me and I'm not really enjoying it. I woke up at 2:30 last night. [...]
