I’ve been very anxious about getting a new car, especially after having some problems with my Volvo over the last few months. Randy and I found this baby at Dixie Motors in Nashville last week, and I fell in love :) She’s a 1998 white Subaru Outback… I had effectively convinced Randy that we needed a station wagon. Now we can go camping, and road tripping, and I can even let my cat, Bubbles, drive around with me! Kidding.. sort of.
So now I get to drive this lovely thing, while Randy gets an upgrade from his scooter to my awesome ‘94 Volvo 850! (I call her Volvosaur) He’ll take much better care of her than I did.
October 19, 2009Quick update. Just started working at the new Dose Coffee and Tea (formerly Portland Brew on Murphy Road). I am EXTREMELY excited to be working with coffee again. Very nice article written about them on Nashvillest. Also check out their website (dosecoffeeandtea.com)
Lots of awesome new stuff including fresh pastries baked in-house by Marmellata Bakery, a new lunch menu coming this week, and of course yours truly behind the counter :) We will also be roasting our own coffee and offering other local and regional coffees for you to purchase, as well as stocking our retail shelves with French Presses, Chemex, Aeropress, grinders, filters and other coffee gadgets you might need at home!
Anyways. Check out the website, and stop by sometime to see me :)
October 13, 2009Other than our terrible luck with flights, the trip to Seattle was amazing. I got to visit all the coffee shops and places I wanted to check out, Toured the factory of Theo Chocolate (the only fair-trade, organic bean-to-bar chocolatier in the country), Viewed Seattle’s beautiful cityscape from the top the Space Needle, And walked through the Sculpture Garden off Elliot Bay <— (that’s where Randy proposed!) So yeah, I’m getting married! (Click the ‘Read more…’ for pictures from our trip, and check out Randy’s post on the proposal and how we met!)
