Our showerless numbered days…
Luckily we have some very gracious friends that have allowed us to borrow their showers while ours gets a facelift. The tile guys were here all day working on the bathroom, while I stayed holed up with my germs in the back bedroom. I probably got a good 10 naps in today while I was hoping to wake up and see sparkling new tile in the shower. But no, we are still in the prepping stage I guess. We have an estimated “done date” of next Wednesday, December 2nd…I hope he remembers he is doing the floors too cause we are sure cutting it close with Liam due in just about a month!

JLOOP Halloween
Trick-or-treat.
We had a JLOOP party. Pizza, candy, pumpkins, piñata, candy, costumes, dry ice, noodles, candy corn, monsters, candy, and more candy…the kids loved it.

My favorite moment from last night was when I told Micah (the scarecrow), “Hey Scarecrow, Nice costume…you look scary”
And he responded with “Youre welcome”.
Stay Gold.
Our eBay chairs that took 3 months to get here
On July 26, 2009, I placed a “Buy Now” order on eBay for a set of 1940′s motel rocking chairs. They arrived at 10:13pm, October 20, 2009…but they’re here and they look almost as great as the picture we saw of them and that’s what counts! right?

The back story
Here it is: when we first moved into our tiny little home, we knew we were tight on living space so we wanted to make the most of what we had. And since we are lucky enough to live in sunny southern California this includes outside patios and porches. We knew we would need and outside table in the patio and we were eager to get some rocking chairs on the front porch. And by porch I mean steps up to our door that we have decided to squeeze TWO chairs there and call it quaint. So that being said, thank God people were smaller in the 40′s and somebody had the foresight to hang on to these skinny people chairs!
So after wasting some time at Cost Plus and Pottery Barn, we found the perfect chairs on eBay and decided to take our chances vetting scammed. After choosing the “Buy Now” option and getting our payment notification, the seller told me that they do not use FedEx, UPS, or the United States Postal Service…wait…what?!
So I asked them if they would ship via Virgania Horsen’s Pony Express. they pretty much said yes, only his name isn’t Virgania, it’s Doug. So Doug picked up my chairs somewhere in New Hampshire that month and proceded to call me once a month from wherever he was, to assure me that he was still on his way to L.A. One time he called me from the “hills of Maine”. I’m not a total geography buff but I’m pretty sure he did some backtracking…I guess that’s what took him 3 months to get here.

Do We Have Enough
This was a really fun and exciting project to work on with the JLOOP team. It is the brainchild of the incredible “Jay Dysart of The Internets” and it was a lot of fun to work on and will be exciting to watch it grow and develop! And yes, there will be more characters coming soon. We are starting with incorporating the JLOOP team and maybe a celebrity here and there. We’ve got one JLOOPer currently in the line-up…can you guess which one?
Pumpkin Patch 2009
Still having fun with the new camera. Tried some night time shots and came out with some fun photos. I especially like the couple of photos of the kids on the carny version of the teacups…
New camera = dog photoshoot
We gave in and got a new camera…and we splurged and finally went with a Canon Rebel! I have eager to try it out, and what better subject than our dog Henry…
Jury Duty
I have been summoned for jury duty.
Twice.
In the same week!
I got my first summons from the State back in April, but I postponed it til August because of all the stuff going on with buying a house, moving, having my car stolen. So I knew I would have to report to jury duty in Long Beach on August 3rd and there was no more postponing the inevitable.
However, now I have just received a summons for Federal Court in downtown LA on August 11th. Seriously? What are the chances that I would be summoned for jury duty back to back by different courts? Doesn’t our government talk to each other or is that just asking too much?
HSI Health
This was the first project I worked on at JLOOP. It was a very technically detailed project to understand and a good challenge. The company happens to be headquartered in my hometown of Santa Rosa so it was a nice connection to have with the client. The site turned out great and I worked on a lot of print design and marketing campaigns after the launch of the site.
