A lot has happened since the sisters three went on hiatus. Let me try to catch you up a bit...

Brief Musical Interlude: Lorde

Oh, Lorde (AKA Ella Yelich-O’Connor), how I dig your sweet, yearning anthem "Royals." And sixteen years old?! What in the world is going on in New Zealand? Well, whatever it is, it works for me. I'd most like to listen to her music while riding in a convertible through alternating patches of sun and shade dapples. I'd be in a dreamy, slightly sad mood, I think.

One other thing: everyone on YouTube seems to be commenting on her hair. They all covet those curls. As a curly haired lady who feels super self-conscious about letting my curls out, I'm all for Ella representing. I wonder what product she uses...

For more tracks from her EP The Love Club or to take a gander at her gnarly portrait cover art (featuring a laurel wreath, and a badass snake), check out Lorde's website. And if you need more Lorde, there's also a brief interview with her on New York Magazine's The Cut.

So what have I been keeping myself busy with... ? Well, a lot actually. I was lucky enough to have a great deal of hard work recognized and got a promotion earlier this year (so I've been working even more), successfully cohabited with some of our favorite people for four months (and stayed friends), went back to Washington (to visit, work and celebrate), and I got a bike (pretty much so I can ride around the neighborhood to find feathers and the like). The list can go on and on...

When I last wrote, I was getting ready to move from Spokane to Tacoma. Remember how I was shirking my blogging duties so much? Well, that move happened. This picture was my last view of Spokane as I drove off down the interstate. Oh, it makes me a little sad looking at it now!

I do miss my Spokane apartment and people quite a bit, but I don't regret the move one bit. Sometimes you just need a change...even if that change isn't so much of a change as it is a leap back to your life at twenty when you lived with your mom and were trying to figure things out...

Hello! Hello! It's been a while, but we're still not quite ready for a full-on start-up yet. Things are happening, people--those big, life-altering things that suddenly make you realize that you're adulting all over the place. And boy are we ever.
