A Love Note To My Dryer (by a spoiled American)

Dear Dryer, I have not known the comfort of your enveloping warmth for over a year now. I’ve missed you. Today we got you all patched up. It’s been a long road of misdiagnosis and for the past year you’ve been working overtime with no heat to dry our clothes. We’ve spent hundreds trying to … Continue reading →

Exercising Like A Typical American

No one wants to be typical and being stereotypical is a thirteen letter four letter word. Many Americans are shining examples of fitness and I applaud those individuals (while slightly despising them).Despite those worthy examples, America is known far and wide for cheeseburger and soda consumption. In fact, in Finnish schools there is a portion … Continue reading →

Tell Me A Little Bit About Yourself

If you know me,you’ll know that I ask these types of questions of every stranger I meet. I always feel the pressure to “keep the conversation going” . I guess I’m a social butterfly in that regard. I just don’t care for idle chit-chat. If I’m going to get to know you, I’m going to … Continue reading →

Funny Dog

Lucy Valentine smiles when she’s nervous and/or excited. We know this and take full (guilty) advantage of her little mutt quirk. Sometimes we’ll walk through the front door and say “Lucy, what’d you do” in stern voices just to evoke that precious grin. She’s never done anything. She’s a good girl and I honestly believe … Continue reading →

Crazy Dreams Volume 1

I’ve really got to start keeping a dream journal. I’m always impressed by how wacky and vivid my dreams are. I enjoy them so much (usually) that it makes it super hard to leave dream land and enter the land of the living. If only my life were as interesting as my dreams! This morning, … Continue reading →
