orange violet: Good Stuff
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2012/10/good-stuff.html
Friday, October 12, 2012. I don’t know about you but I tend to suck at follow through. I’m really good with coming up with ideas, grand plans and master schemes. The whole making it happen thing? That’s a different story. I tend to be excited at the beginning and a few weeks down the road I let something slip because I’m busy or I just don’t feel like doing it right now. Then it all goes to hell. When this blog first started. And it was fun. I loved sharing the stories. Of what was going on in my life.

orange violet: In Loving Memory. by violet
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2009/11/in-loving-memory-by-violet.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. In Loving Memory. by violet. I have lost a dear and true friend. I met Hannah in the fall of 2000. I had just packed up my life of 18 years to move into an 8x10 cinder block room a 1,000 miles away from home. She forgave easily – I locked her out of our room while she was showering down the hall (twice). And she just laughed relaying the story to me about how she had to go to the dorm office in her bathrobe. When I found out she was sick, I panicked. Not Hannah. She was...I car...

orange violet: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2012/11/its-most-wonderful-time-of-year.html
Friday, November 2, 2012. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. I saw my first Christmas commercial before Halloween. Christmas has tried its best to take-over Thanksgiving and now it has its sights set on Halloween. Halloween is a pretty awesome holiday filled with pumpkins, adorable kids in costumes and, of course, candy. While it may be hard to make a broader moral argument about the importance of Halloween in our lives, it’s what happens in October. Violet in Sperry gold flats. Have a look a sole...

Ight on Alki where the water taxi lands and you can rent yourself a stand up paddle board or a kayak. So this is not just a typo/my typical grammar fail). I was temp...

orange violet: In New York. by violet
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2011/05/in-new-york-by-violet.html
Tuesday, May 10, 2011. In New York. by violet. I often find that my Netflix queue is full of documentaries. I often feel the draw of movies that tell true stories and expose me to worlds I never knew existed. A few weeks ago, JP found the documentary Bill Cunningham New York. About the New York Times photographer who takes photos for the On the Street section. Since JP is into photographer and I’m into fashion we decided to make a little date out of it with a stop off at Marination Mobile’s. I don’...

http://leanwithgreen.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. Ask and You Shall Receive. I cannot believe it's been almost 2 months since I last posted! That's what happens when you're 34 weeks pregnant and you've got a few other things on your plate, I guess. :) I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and that 2011 has started off on a great note! Here in my household, we are fast and furiously preparing for our baby girl's arrival in mere weeks.and with that comes dropping some serious dough. Or does it? Not only was it $400 cheap...

orange violet: Guess who's back? Back again. By Violet
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2012/07/guess-whos-back-back-again-by-violet.html
Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Back again. By Violet. How is it possible that it’s been so long since I’ve written? There have been a few things going on – mostly JP and I were planning a wedding. There will be plenty more on that once the pictures come in. One of the advantages of working for the company that I do is that after seven years you get a six week paid sabbatical. Mine just so happened to line up our wedding. So much reality TV. Team Jef with One F. Did I say there was wine? A couple runs on Alki.

orange violet: At bacon's altar. by violet
http://orangeviolet.blogspot.com/2011/01/at-bacons-alter-by-violet.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. At bacon's altar. by violet. Bacon seems to be everywhere these days, in mayo. It has me wondering what the heck all the fuss is about. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some bacon but does is really require that we all worship at its altar? Back from our unexpected adventure to California and with a few extra days off, I was on the hunt for something delicious to make. Something that would require more time and effort than I would normally put into your average weekday meal. 1 tabl...
