Lately
04.29.12Today is our first anniversary in our house. Being the girl who historically moved more often than some people change their underwear, I have to tell you it’s a very strange feeling to know that I’m not moving anytime soon. It’s a nice strange though. We’ve been busy the last few weeks working on our spring cleaning project, which admittedly is taking longer than we...
Goals for 2012
04.02.12Back in January I wrote down a few goals for the year… and then promptly disregarded them. I meant to blog about them as I thought that might help keep me more accountable, but I never got around to it. I came across them this weekend, and since we’re actually tackling one of them now, I thought I’d share them. Better late than never, right? So here is what I hoped to accomplish...
Spring Cleaning
04.01.12In an effort to reduce clutter, clear our minds and return our lives to a state of some kind of normalcy, The Accountant and I are embarking on a very ambitious spring cleaning project. I am a minimalist at heart and I thrive on order and routine, but for most of my life I’ve been unable to actually create an environment in my living space that reflects this. Incidentally, about a month ago...
Dreaming about Dad
03.26.12I dreamed about my dad again last week, another really vivid dream, but not sad like the last one. I dreamed that my dad was still alive, and my parents were getting a divorce. They were living in Montreal, and so was my brother, but I was in Ontario, so when they called me to tell me the news, I flew home to visit. I wasn’t upset about the divorce – my entire childhood I wondered why...

Offline
03.11.12Hey everyone, This will be my last post for a little while. ATK is going offline for a bit. Not at all because I’m giving up on blogging; in fact right now I could probably use the outlet more than ever. But right now we have some family stuff going on and I think it’s best if my life isn’t plastered all over the internet. I’ll be back when things are a little calmer and...
Happy birthday, your car is totaled
03.02.12What you can’t see in this photo is that the bumper was basically hanging off the car, and the tire was completely turned 90 degrees (I guess they pushed them back when they towed the car). The back axle was also broken. Even though two friends told me this looked like a total loss, I didn’t believe it until I heard it from the insurance adjuster. My worry had been that if they...
Accident details, part I
02.26.12So here are the details of one of the scariest days of my life. This is as much for the story as it is so I remember everything (I’ll explain the reason for that later). Like I said in my last post, The Accountant and I had gone to see The Vow. We drove home, and as we got to the corner of our street, we had to stop to wait for traffic so we could turn left off of the main road. There is no...
