Week 4: The real wait begins
(Apologies in advance to anyone reading these posts via RSS – I know you’ll get flooded with stuff from me you haven’t seen before, and you’ll wonder why. It’s because I had a bunch of stuff I needed to write … Continue reading
Ok, so I suck: -1 of 30
I am clearly failing the 30 posts in 30 days challenge (as my husband reminds me by saying “hey, I didn’t see a post today…”). I may try to catch up, writing a couple of posts a day for the … Continue reading
Spring is, well, springing. And stuff. – 7 of 30
So spring is here at Haus Grothoff. When we rented this house, one of the perks was that the backyard was so neglected and barren that the landlord said we could make half of it a garden, as long as … Continue reading
I… have created something. – 6 of 30
Lazy day, and not much mental activity, let alone much to report. The husband headed out to DC today, and I got up way too damned early to see him off. (N.B.: extra snuggling worth it) I should have done … Continue reading

Starry, Starry Night – 3 of 30
The weather here in Denver is really nice the last few days – warm, or at worst brisk, during the day, and cool and crisp at night. So the husband and I went for a nice little walk tonight, and … Continue reading
Friends in Nomad’s Land – 2 of 30
So in my self-imposed 30 in 30 rules, I basically promised to do something social in Denver and blog about it. That certainly makes me sound so much more pitiful than I actual am (which bothers me surprisingly little, actually) … Continue reading

The Other Side of Jesus Camp – 1 of 30
So the German and I just watched Jesus Camp. And it’s really, fucking creepy. Also rather sadly hilarious, in that it pictures Pastor Ted Haggart telling his audience congregation that homosexuality is a sin, just a few months before we … Continue reading
Thirty in thirty – why not?
All right then. So while I’m waiting for my iPod to finish charging and the sunscreen to absorb so that I can go tackle The Garden From Hell ™, I’ve decided to accept the challenge Wil Wheaton forwarded from Shane … Continue reading
