coming up with a wedding invitation list is no small feat for the two of us. While Doug has lived here for most of his life, his friends and family are chock full of world travellers. And my family and friends -- well, lets just say that I move...

Think back to your very best day in life. For most of us, it includes a very significant event. A wedding, or a birth or even a break up. But can you identify the best day where nothing of significance happened? There are a few days for me li...

This morning i stepped on a staple. A big freaking staple. I'm not sure if it was a carpet staple or one of those staples that holds together a cardboard box, but it really didn't matter because I was much too concerned about the freaking stapl...

an argument to bicker over.

nobody@vox.com(alicia) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:01:58 -0500

here's stating the obvious: Doug and I bicker. I use the word bicker instead of argue, and I think there's an obvious difference. According to dictionary.com: bick⋅er1 /ˈbɪk ər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [bik-er...

all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

I love autumn in New Mexico because it just nudges you along. I miss autumn in New Mexico - smelling the roasting of green chile in the parking lot of the grocery store. The last bits of summer at the State Fair. The cool crisp mornings of Bal...

two shocking confessions and one need for a mirror

nobody@vox.com(alicia) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:05:22 -0500

i have a confession to make

nobody@vox.com(alicia) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 14:48:34 -0500

I want to be trendy. Most of you will laugh because I spend my days in ripped jeans and stained solid colored shirts. I don't really do my make up all that fancy and my hair can be disastrous (I like when people at work ask "did you oversleep to...

summers gone and so are we...

this is the obligatory "where in the hell did the summer go" post. The truth is, I've had a long, productive summer. I've actually just been too busy to notice. May brought birthday celebrations all around: First Doug's godson, Brant turned...
