This is what I have been up to:
1.Went to Mexico for a wedding. Try taking pictures on a rocking boat while people are feeling seasick…fun stuff! But, the photos came out great nonetheless and Mexico is always awesome.
2. Ate lots of brownies during our “Brownie Bake Off” at work:
3. Have had lots of dog time. I am attached to this brown duder and tend to “accidentally” take lots of naps with him as we spoon. Serious spoonage. Thanks to Finney I get to walk to the bay more often and also thanks to Finney I got to see a dead sea lion washed ashore along with a headless dead dog or pig or weird gray/white creature with skin that was decomposing. Aye. I just got really hungry.
Sorry for all the dog photos but since I am contributing to the “Finneythedog” blog (yes, this dog has a blog!) I have to keep his parents updated with what their son (dog) has been up to, thus I take lots of dog photos. Here is a glimpse:
4. Trrrrrrying really hard to get our apartment in order but it is really difficult. So little time, so little motivation. I’ll be posting more photos of the place on Hatch but until then here is what we have to work with:
5. Now we are off to Mexico again. Last wedding for the year, oh my!

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
