due to one complaint made by a certain Liz Wright, I've decided to blog in public, completely against my wishes. Our computer is out of commission right now and hopefully we'll be getting a new one soon, but until then this might be it for a while.
lets see...
in our lives, that you might not hear from me already on the phone:
-the phillies won the world series yesterday, a life altering event considering i've NEVER seen Philadelphis win a championship in my lifetime.
-saw HSM3 with Keje on Sunday for $4. Not life-altering but still magical.
-i finally found a wall flower from bath and body works that even Adam likes--a big accomplishment after my 5th trip to BBW. So i bought 3.
-the weather has been in the 60s all week and i'm loving it. I've been riding my bike a lot.
-I've applied for a job with the city in the category of "Waste water and Human Resources". I'm not sure how much waste water i'll be dealing with exactly, but somedays i feel desperate.
guess that's all the random news you miss out on hearing when you dont live nearby.
vote on tuesday. and vote mccain/palin.

the rest of the pictures from the fam visit.
So I got the rest of the pictures from my parents visit. Here are just some. But the first one is us at dinner at the resort the last day they were here, just before we went to the movies... it was delicious and had a great view!, then there's cath and me getting the best pedicures of our lives! Mimosas included. We went while adam and my dad went fishing (we were spoiled). And then the last two were pictures of our townhouse taken right before we went to breakfast at Michael D's. It was such a fun visit and every time i pass the hotel where they stayed it makes me miss them:(

Tacoma/Sea View
So this last weekend Adam and I spontaneously decided to go to Tacoma, WA to visit some friends and go to the beach. It was definitely a weekend of firsts. First weekend trip as a married couple. First time driving through the mountains of western Washington, which are just beautiful by the way. Those are the first two pictures. And the first time seeing Tacoma. The first time seeing the Pacific ocean. The first time going clam digging, which was so much more fun than I thought it would be. And the first time going to Oregon-which Adam was more excited about than me.
Ryan and Laura were so fun, and their kids were adorable. Kylie and Adam are in the last picture, she loved him. I posted all the pictures on my facebook page cause they take a while on here, but we just really had a great time!

new plan
ok I know i've built up this whole change in web address for this blog. Well... I've decided that's not happening. Why the heck do they have to make those words that you have to retype so dag on hard to read?? After about 10 tries, and even listening to the handicap one, i've decided to just stick to the same one. Hope no one is offended by it.
could someone please tell me the purpose of those visual verifications though? And are they hard for everyone or just me?
anyway... at the top is a picture my parents took during their visit out here. It's Adam and me at Bonsai for dinner on my birthday. I'll post more pictures later as I get them.

Embracing 23
This is a blog reflecting on turning 23.
But first, to keep my promise: the pot roast was ok. adam liked it, but i'm beginning to think more and more that perhaps it's not so much that i'm a great cook as it is that he just eats anything. bummer.
also important pot roasting tip: add your veggies in at least 2 hours before serving, otherwise they'll be crunchy still, and that's kind of gross.
also,
http://fineasafrogshair.blogspot.com/ should soon be changing to http://ludwiglife.blogspot.com/ so you might want to adjust accordingly:).
and now..thoughts on being 23:
I generally have a hard time with getting older. It's not really a new thing for me. i remember the night before i started kindergarden, that i cried for what seemed like hours all because I liked being in pre-school so much and didnt want to be a kindergardener. So this whole anti-aging issue isn't really a surprise to me. Now I understand that in retrospect 23 isn't really all that old. But when I realized the other day that I was now 5 years older than the oldest High schooler in our youth group I felt a bit out of sorts. Not only am I 5 years older than high school seniors, I'm about 9 years older than middle schoolers! But my time in MS and HS really doesnt seem that long ago!
After I realized how pitiful i sounded, i thought harder and came to a more realistic and encouraging conclusion:
i think my problem isn't that i feel old, it's that i'm still in shock that i'm at this time in my life already. I'm at the age where i'm married, and can buy whatever i want, watch whatever i want, and go wherever i want (all with adam's approval, of course). Yes, those MS, HS, and college years are done in my life, but they were everything i'd hoped they'd be! And i've graduated college, and i'm now married, we're living on our own, in a new town, (hopefully i'll get a job) and all by the age of 23! So I'm doing okay for myself-- i've accomplished a lot already. Not only that, but there's still kids, and jobs, and traveling...
..so see, I don't need to be such a debbie downer, I still have a lot of exciting things in my life to still look forward to, and i shouldnt miss out on them because i lose perspective.
(Besides, i hate it when women call themselves "cougars" and complain about getting old. And if i stay on that track, I'll be one of them. *shutter*)

Trish vs. pot roast
Well, I've been really intimidated by red meat in my cooking life. This means that right now our freezer is full of red meat collected over the last few weeks. So after Cath was here and told me exactly what to do, I'm attempting to conquer this fear and take on the pot roast.
So far, so good. It looks kind of gross though, but apparently it gets better?.
I'll post the winner of this challenge later.

Name Change
Since Adam seems to find this web address and title of the blog rather off-putting, I figured i'd change it.
So here's your heads up:
"Fine as a Frog's Hair" is now going to be "Ludwig Life".
This will mean the web address will change--but only the titles will be different.

Classifieds...
This is an ad in the classifieds that adam and i recently stumbled upon. I thought i'd share:
"Lost. I've know of you for a while. I have been in denial for some time, hoping you, the other person, didn't exist. You know he's a player and will do unto you what he did to me. The stress of him coming home only when he wants to is too much to bear. It's time we lay our cards on the table and finally confront each other. So will the other adopted family of my cat, caramel, please call and let me know how he's doing? "
