What’s Going On

(I think that could be the title of any blog post, yes?)

Unsolicited Advice

I was at a pub recently with some friends and (upon ordering a club soda instead of a Guinness) it came up that I was pregnant. And the server proceeded to tell me, “Congratulations! But you know, don’t stop at one!…” and on and on, blah blah blah about how two kids is sooo much better than one.

Well, thanks for the family-planning advice, random stranger who knows nothing about me or my situation!

Note to self: odds are this is only going to get more frequent once the child is born, so you’re going to need a better go-to reaction than stony silence and deathglare eyes.

Seeing with new eyes

I had some visitors in from out of town, and found myself on the “Ducks” tour of Seattle. It was such a kick to ride through my neighborhood, and realize that I totally live in a place where I’d fantasize about living if I were visiting.

Note to self: try to shake up the way you see things more often.

What to do with this blog?

I’m starting a new venture, with one of the awesomest people I know. Which means my “business” stuff, like the Sailboat Kit and other services, will live at our new place (we’re putting on the final coats of paint right now, but get on my newsletter list over there if you want to be one of the first to know about it next week–>).

I’m thinking that if I continue this site it will evolve into something more “personal” in nature. More frequent, shorter posts. Stuff about pregnancy, food, home. And soul-stuff too, of course, that’s in everything I do–it just won’t be the main focus.

Basically, what’s going on.

So that makes the term Soul Sleuthing seem a little…well, serious. (I was going to say pompous but I decided to cut myself some slack.) I’m thinking about changing the domain to something simple, like my name. I bought evalazza.com, so that’s the front-runner right now.

Note to self: figure out bloggy stuff
