A Slow-Books Manifesto - The Atlantic

8:36 hanging with the Galoopers (mom & her goofy friends) , a photo by ::: a i m e e ::: on Flickr. I was going through Galooper pics on Flickr when I woke up this morning and found this 8:36 featuring some of my favorite people. I love how adorable my dad is in this shot. Love you dad!

Marq.JPG , a photo by ::: a i m e e ::: on Flickr. It was too soon for you to go Marq. My heart aches for Kyle and Kaitlyn. I know you would have never of wished this heartache on them. I know my dad is really going to miss his buddy and I wish I could be there to hug everyone and comfort them during this difficult time. To my Galooper family, I'm with you in spirit. Love you and happy birthday Marq.

Lil hands. , a photo by The_April on Flickr. What started as a halloween outfit, inspired by the singing sisters on SNL's Lawrence Welk skit, I wanted to creep people out with little hands. I love my tiny hands. Some friends love them and some get TOTALLY freaked out when they show up. Its easy for me to throw them in my purse from time to tome to entertain them.  Ingo and Josh shared the following new site with me. I prefer two tiny hands than one but the site is funny. Check it out:  ONE TINY HAND

Its been a crazy last couple of months but thinks are shaping up. Work is really good. Still super busy but I'm working on other things outside of my main client which is fun. One that includes the local zoo and another is the Seattle International Film Fest which I am a big fan of and frequent movie watcher during its annual festival. I met with my new landlord tonight and THANKFULLY after discussing options, she is talking to the corporate office about lowering the proposed lease, and including my little storage unit as part of the cost. Its still an increase BUT I'm so happy to stay, especially with my friend living below me and some changes happening to the building. One change is allowing pets...this means I can have animal visitors! (I don't want to own any) Aside from hanging out with friends as usual and a few uneventful dates here and there, I met someone new and will tell more in due time.

I went to a new dentist this morning and my dental hygiene passed with flying colors. A few years ago my dentist retired and passed on all her patients to another. I did NOT like the new dentist she passed us off to. I went to her 3 times and decided she was not the right fit for me. I posted for recommendations on Facebook and after some research, I decided on a dentist that two friends go to. He is just a few blocks from my apartment. He was great and after speaking with him about what my former dentist recommended for my mouth, he assured me that I made the right decision to switch to him. He said I have a great smile and no work is necessary. The former dentist encouraged me to "perfect my smile" and spend $$$ to re-fill my fillings. He told me to wait to refill them for as long as I can hold off. He would recommend work if it was needed for my dental health but not for cosmetic reasons if I'm happy with what I see. THANK YOU Dr. Roberts for not trying to get money
