Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is leather. And woodgrain. I know. You're totally jealous.

    I just checked out your map and have some recommendations. When you are in Vancouver you should go over to Vancouver Island and check out Tofino. Super cool small surf town. Mandy and I stayed at the hostile there and it was great. They do an amazing whale watch tour (depending on the time of year you are there) that goes out to a hot spring. Your trip sounds amazing and I am so jealous! I really hope you guys enjoy yourselves! Also, let me know when you are in GR, I would love to see you both!

    Thanks for the recommendation, Jen! I just found your email address, so we'll be sure to let you know when we are in G-Rap. Maybe lunch at Yesterdog?

    Sweet ride! And here I thought Ellen would never own a Ford again (after the Explorer). :)

    A friend of a friend would use "I have a van." as a pick-up line.

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

I spy...

By
I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Beauty Anxiety

By
I am spending quite a bit of time thinking and planning what I am going to put in my travel backpack. There isn't going to be a lot of room so I am taking a tip from Ottsworld and planning to leave my vanity behind . I have to admit, the idea of leaving my makeup behind makes me uncomfortable. Not because I want to wear makeup everyday but because it's a security blanket. It provides the ability to fit in if I need to and to escape the feeling that I am not participating in the unwritten rules of being a woman. Don't believe me that there is a beauty standard in this country? Check this out: Video link here . More information about Girl Culture by Lauren Greenfield here . Please note that parts of this site are NSFW. But on the flip side, I'll be saving money. I found an article in Newsweek that estimated the lifetime cost of "cosmetic maintenance" . Even if I normally spend a half to a third of this amount, that's still quite a bit quite a bit of money.
