The Story of Simzgirl

In an attempt to add culture and diversity to our lives, tonight Simeon and I went to the theatre. We went to Portland Center Stage to see a play, well more of a monologue really. We watched 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com. Leave it to us to incorporate culture via technology and humor. […]

All I can say is today was chaos. Things have been really hectic and I haven’t had a moment to think. But in the midst of all that, I got an email (an honest-to-God email from a living person, imagine that!) and it brightened my day:

Today is Pink Shoe Day! See?
What, you didn’t get the memo? Oh well. There will be many more to come. It all started Friday with a trip to the mall with Erin. We just wanted to stop by the Clinique counter to get a sample of the latest products, when it turned into an […]

Pilates kicked my ass. And my stomach.
Lisa M (finally!) joined 24-hour fitness and we decided it would be fun to go to a class together. Since we both work during the day, we were limited to what classes we could attend. We finally decided to try a couple of the Pilates classes they offer […]

As last night was Wednesday, we had our typical gathering of friends over for dinner (chicken enchiladas, in case you were curious). Over dinner we started reminiscing about “the good ol’ days” of college. Megan and I, both being University of Portland alums, had quite a few entertaining stories about college parties and their aftermath. […]
