Two in One: Weekend Update

Easter Weekend

I got back from my Nethergium trip late on Thursday, so just had a nice movie night with Sune.

2. Made pie and FaceTimed Mom, Dad, and Matt and met his new girlfriend! Good FaceTime with Amy too.

3. Had a great night out with Molly and Megan at Francis Pony.

4. Learned about Molly's crazy roommates and coworkers during our Easter coffee and cake with Megan, Molly, and Molly's friend.

5. Got the best Thai food takeout with Suneman and spent the night

playing guitar. I enjoyed this mucho, especially the Easter songs since we missed the church service due to a key mixup.

7. We had our first experience at the Listening Room, where they have singer/songwriters every Sunday.

8. We biked around, chilled on a hill by The Lake, and enjoyed the sun... While every other Dane did the same. I love how they revel in the sun whenever it's out. Music and chillin on the bridge. Excellent. A very chill Monday.

9. Sune fooled me when we started watching Clerks and he had it to the sound of Beethoven... I think it was meant to be that way.

This Weekend I...

1. Soaked up the sun with Maria in Fælledparken, a great little park with people slack lining and so many dogs.

2. Got a little rowdy with the whole crew (Maria, Megan, Anne Lise, Charlotte, Arthur and Karen Sofie) in Café Retro, with conversations you wouldn't want your grandma to hear.

3. Danced on tables in the Dubliner with Megan and Maria C.

4. Got slightly lost on what should have been a 5 minute walk to the train station for my bike. I wound up like 30 minutes away, threw out my strawberries and sunglasses off a bridge out of distraught drunkeness, and met some awesome lady strangers that took me in and brought me along to Christiana adventures. That was an unexpected turn of events that night.

5. Then had a tame, cafe-lounging, book-reading Sunday

6. Continued the tradition of music at the Listening Room with Sune on Sunday... even if the music was a bit too weird involving bizarre, "artistic" lyrics, crazy sound effects, and a weird bit with the stoic dude rubbing a chain on his guitar while the chick pushed buttons for some futuristic sound effects and the dude then dropping the chain dramatically to the floor. Weird.

What were the highlights of your weekend, readers?

Get The Paris Wife at Amazon for an interesting read about Ernest Hemingway and his 1st wife.

2023 in Review (Plus 2020-2022, oops)

I am super bummed to realize that I haven't done a yearly review/highlights since 2019! That's FOUR YEARS ago! Pre covid, pre Oregon, pre master's degree, pre return to Florida, pre a million babies being born... So much has changed! It's always to nice to sit back and look at all that happens in a year too. It's now February. I started this post in December and was about to go and try to edit and make it all fancy with links to other posts and all kinds of cool things.... I'm sure there are some mistakes even with the years, things left out... but progress over perfection right? We're just going posting it in 3...2...1... Have fun! 2023 1. Bike bike biking everywhere. To the Grom for tasty lunch treats, Indian almost every week, grocery shopping, to the gym, just to bike around in the sun. It's been great! 2. All the babies came: Lowey-Balls, Krupkas, Bakers, neighbor friends x2, Sarkissians, and even more to come! 3. Finally got the best job wit...

Things I Learned This Weekend

1. Throwing away pictures quickly turns into hours of laughing at old selves and bringing back so many memories. High school friends and I have often wondered what we did in high school since we weren't the typical partying teens. After this picture raid, I realized... we took pictures. In dressing rooms, walmart, cars, kitchen islands... 2. My parents are awesome. I didn't learn this this weekend but it was definitely reinforced. They are just such dedicated, good people. We're also surrounded by some amazingly supportive friends. 3. My dad is so cool. I mean really... Cool guy on the right... Can he get any more awesome? Not to mention that crazy guy on the left, aka Uncle Dennis. I never did get a straight answer about whether he dressed like that on the reg or not. So was that a regular occurrence, Dennis?! ;) 4. Sleepy babies are one of the sweetest things to see. 5. Having adult conversations with toddlers is so amusing to me. Brooks and I d...

Opposite Ends (Atlantic to Pacific)

It's been over a year since being back in Florida. I started thinking of some of these comparisons shortly after returning, but now I have even more to add. And it's more comparing the Oregon Coast to this area, of course. If you're new here, we were in Pacific City, OR a little old town of ~1000 people. Now we're in Atlantic Beach, FL. 1. The amount of laundry. I'd say 3 shirts a day in the summer is typical for this Florida heat and humidity. Go for a morning walk, change shirts... Plant some flowers. Gotta change... Workout, definitely change. Shower, dog walk-- one more change before the night's done. 2. The bank and post office are open on Saturdays here! And restaurants don't close for the winter. 3. Florida neighborhood strolls: Seeing 10+ humans on every walk compared to often only 0. I love the community here! Lovely neighbors, gym rats, baristas. Even my parents! The Padres moved 40 minutes away vs 2.5! Yahoo! Pacific City was just so empty. On...

Where's Abby (+ Dylan and dogs)
