Hey there! I am still working on the “tips for partners of people with autism” bit (I know, it’s been a while… did you expect anything less? Sidenote: I found a great post about ADHD time and our cycles of productivity that are so mind-blowingly accurate I can’t believe it didn’t occur to me before. […]

Guernica / Gernika / Gernika-Lumo
After ten years of plotting and planning, I finally got my Guernica tattoo. It’s placed on my left forearm, surrounding my ancient (and very first) Keith Haring tattoo. I’ve declared this arm my “art” arm, as I plan on adding to it with the likes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, more Picasso, Alphonse Mucha, etc. […]
one car / public transport FTW
We have been a one-car family for nearly a month now. Truth be told, it’s not much to speak of in the Summer when the weather is easy and Husband is happy to bike every bit of the way to work. The weather is also very encouraging for The Kid and I to take the […]
on the water
A small handful of pictures from yesterday. Husband and I went on a boat ride for our *9th wedding anniversary and then grabbed The Kid to wander around Foster Island. (*That’s 10.5 years together, total, including an 8 year old son, if you’re counting!) You can see more “Summer in Seattle” photos here. Not really […]
Une Voiture / aka “save gas, pedal your ass”
We are about to attempt a grand experiment. We are selling one of our cars, “my” car, and becoming a one-car family. It’s absurd to think of this as a big deal or as an experiment and yet, here we are. Living in the suburbs of America, of Seattle, it is sort of an experiment—especially […]
nous mangeons
Three day weekends are, in some ways, harder than regular weekends! (Harder to recover from, that is.) I haven’t posted any pictures in awhile or talked about places around Seattle. So here’s a small (très petit) sampling of things we ate this long weekend! We went to Parfait, bien sûr, which has been our absolute […]
fin
Il y a deux matins, j’ai soumis ma demande pour obtenir mon diplôme! Je flippe, un peu. Et maintenant? Two mornings ago, I submitted my application for graduation. I’m flipping out a little. And now? En fait, j’ai beaucoup des plans, donc… je ne suis pas stressée par “et maintenant”. In fact, I have many […]
quote of the day: less / more
Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours. -Swedish Proverb
London Plane
You may recognize this name or just be tired of it – I mention it frequently (at least, on Instagram) but it’s one of our favorite places to spend a quick morning or afternoon. Aside from the fact that it’s in my favorite ‘hood – Pioneer Square, the interior is lovely, the staff is really […]

Winter Break
Hey! So that 3 weeks of Winter Break went by really, really, really quickly. I had a list of things I’d hoped to do over that time but the only thing I really did was “relax” and “fuck all.” We didn’t even do much Christmas stuff until right AFTER Christmas. Oops. We made it out […]
