The 3-month mark

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:32:53 -0700

Unbelievably, we’ve been living in Vancouver now for three months. That’s one quarter of a year! It feels like only three weeks ago we were packing up to make the long drive out here. I guess it’s true what they say about the time and the fl...

And then I don't feel so bad

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:24:26 -0700

We’re finally starting to settle into something of a routine around here. Our new schedule involves more time reading/learning, job-hunting and “publicly loafing” (Shane’s term, aka “exploring outside”) and less time napping, blog-reading and w...

Friday Night Lights is coming back for a third season in January 2009!!! (And there was much rejoicing in Shane and Tisha Land.)

Oh, sweet relief

A banner month

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 12:57:40 -0800

I mentioned that I didn’t like February’s banner much at the beginning of last month. Well, the feeling was strong enough that I felt compelled to start work on March’s banner weeks ago. The upside? I spent a lot of time and energy on this one...

My Cider and Cookie Saturday can kick your Black Friday’s ass

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 14:28:18 -0800

I’ll admit there are certain kinds of shopping that I enjoy. I love buying any items that have taken the place of toys in my life. So I will gladly head out to my adult equivalents of FAO Schwarz – tea stores, CD stores, outdoorsy stores, speci...

Great taste on multiple levels

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 13:30:18 -0800

Don’t you just love it when awesome things get awesomer? I do. Especially when they involve places I like to hang out. You may recall (well, probably only if you = Shane) that one of my favorite tea-drinking spots, The Tea Garden, underwent m...

In which my weight-lifting finally pays off

nobody@vox.com(Tisha) — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 13:04:33 -0700

Shane and I went Up North this weekend with my long-time friend (and excellent French toast chef, I might add) Becky, to hang out at her parent's cabin. For those of you not familiar with Minnesota-isms, Up North does not mean going to Canada; ...
