So.

So, this is just to say: if you're starting conversations/blog posts with the word "so," I'm onto you.

"So I've been thinking about coloring my hair purple."
"So my uncle was recently arrested for murder."
"So I just wanted to mention that I recently secretly married a Portuguese model."

Yes. I get it. It sounds more casual. You are just WAITING to be interrupted with someone saying, "wait--WHAT??" and maybe laughing in disbelief at your debonair approach to the situation.

I'm not going to deny it: I do it all the time.

Also:

This is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
























And:

This is Just to Say

I chopped down the house that you had been saving to live in
next summer.
I am sorry, but it was morning, and I had nothing to do
and its wooden beams were so inviting.

Words I Hear Almost Every Day

A View I Would Not Mind Waking Up To

But. I would prefer it if they would put some glass in the windows first.

I went on a tour of some construction projects today that won this year's Smart Growth awards (I wore a hard hat). Guess who else was there.

The one. The only. DON WIMBERLY!














Yes, he is just as nice as he looks. He even remembered my name half an hour after I gave it to him.

(For those of you who aren't paying enough attention to the Boise elite, Don Wimberly is Boise State Radio's best reporter. Great voice. Great mustache. Speaking of which.)

Cute

My coworker is so cute. As another coworker was sailing out the door, she called after him, "See you on the flip-flop!"

I like her.

Next:

I can't wait to see the America's first FINNISH-AMERICAN elected to the nation's highest office! ah, that will be the day.























p.s. a gas station owner in Detroit spent $70,000 to change the name of his gas station to OBAMA.

Fig Newtons

Serving size: 1 cookie.
Yeah right.

Which reminds me.

I hate how lightbulbs only burn out right when you flip the switch

It makes me feel like it's my fault.
