in hot pursuit
Posted in Bryan, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Feb 20th, 2012 No Comments »
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13 ESV) Today I worked straight through lunch, and when I finally unplugged my headphones at 1:30 to see what Bryan was up to, he asked if I was ready to eat. I was [...]
INFP acronym: I Never Fucking Prepare for anything.
Posted in Getting Things Done, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jan 23rd, 2012 2 Comments »
I’m an INFP on the Meyers-Briggs type indicator, and there’s only 1% of us in the universe with that personality type. (I just heard all the ISTJ’s of the world breathe a collective sigh of relief at the low probability of running into one of us). I’m not really sure how we INFP’s get along [...]
Date Night on a Budget
Posted in Everyday, Startup Mom, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jan 14th, 2012 No Comments »
We’re pinching our pennies for date night these days, so I was excited to remember I’d bought movie passes on Groupon months ago. A free movie + conversation over steak tacos = a win for budget date night! Which gave me a great idea! Because our entrepreneurial income tends to fluctuate throughout the year, I [...]
Date Night
Posted in Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Aug 6th, 2011 No Comments »
Date Night at The Berliner Pub It’s been a slow year for movies, so we’ve been spending a lot of dates actually talking to each other. A new place just opened up near our house that serves German beer and a sausage sampler plate, which is both filling and cheap. The place has tons of [...]
Date Night
Posted in Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jul 30th, 2011 1 Comment »
Date Night at Calamity Jane’s in Georgetown. I really like this guy. And I really like that he still takes me out on dates after ten years of marriage. Even during seasons when we didn’t like each other much, we still went out on dates. They were awkward and we definitely were just going through [...]
This just in…

Awww… I was disappointed that Bryan didn’t ride home with me today – on our anniversary. But it turns out he needed me out of the studio so he could record this video! Whew. I’m so glad I didn’t bitch at him about that. Anyhoo… In the video Bryan tells the story of our engagement [...]
I Got Married In a Prom Dress.
Posted in Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jul 27th, 2011 No Comments »
True story. I didn’t plan to get married in a prom dress, but I think it’s rather brilliant that I did. It solved the problem of me… not wanting to spend a fortune on a dress I’d only wear once hating bridal shops where I’d have to act like a princess wearing white, which looks [...]
Bootstrapper Family

“Gotta go sew a Tyvek tent. I blame YouTube and marrying crazy.” My friend posted this to her facebook page the other day. I have no idea what a Tyvek tent is, but I know the sort of person her husband is and that these things usually start with a wild-eyed idea, followed by a [...]
Getting out of Dodge.
Posted in Travel, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jul 5th, 2011 No Comments »
We went camping with friends this weekend, which was the perfect way to wrap up an incredibly busy and stressful June. Sunrise Game of Catan / Photo by Bryan Zug. I love the way Bryan loves me, the way he continues to woo me in marriage. He invites me to himself – to follow, to [...]
Will the real curmudgeon please stand up?
Posted in Comfort & Control, Everyday, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Oct 18th, 2010 1 Comment »
There’s a running joke in the ZugHaus about spontaneity – I claim to have some when we all know I don’t. For the longest time I pegged Bryan as a curmudgeonly old man with no flexibility or zest for the spontaneous. I just wanted to run! Be free! See what the day held! But no, [...]
Nine Years
Posted in Bryan, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Aug 2nd, 2010 3 Comments »
I’ve been married to this guy nine years as of last week, and I’m pretty excited about that. He’s a great dad and pastor of our home, and the hardest worker I know. I think this year has been the best year we’ve ever had, despite job loss, start-up life, and stressful money situations, and [...]
I Choose Pigtails
Posted in Bryan, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be) on Jul 19th, 2010 2 Comments »
Bryan likes it when I wear two pigtails in my hair – he says it makes me look spunky. After nine years of marriage he still gets a come-hither twinkle in his eye when I wear them, so pigtails is how I wear my hair whenever he takes me out.
Everything’s Amazing & Nobody’s Happy
Posted in Comfort & Control, Everyday, Until Death Do Us Part (and to the Death it will be), Video on Jun 18th, 2010 4 Comments »
Bryan played this video for me the other day and prefaced it with, “You’re going to be mad at me for about 5 seconds, but then you’re going to think it’s really funny.” I’ll admit I wanted to be mad, but I know myself too well – I embrace my inner Eeyore and live it [...]
No one said it would be easy, but sometimes it can be.

I’m pretty sure this was the best Mother’s Day EVER. Breakfast at my favorite spot, church, sun, a nap, and time in the garden. It’s how we spend most Mother’s Days, but this year I felt like the party drunk hugging everyone and crying, “I LOVE YOU, MAN!” Everything about this day felt perfect before [...]

Who I Am
Be warned: what you see here is not my best work. It is what Anne Lamott describes in Bird By Bird as a series of “shitty first drafts.” Blogging dragged me kicking and screaming out of creative constipation by getting me to actually write. So I do that. A lot. Without worrying about every word choice or comma placement.
