Today marks the start of a new era on this here journog (a term a thought I just coined for my journal blog…but I guess this isn’t new, I’m so behind!). Today I vow to myself to blog for myself more often. It needs to be my creative outlet again. So, my goal will be to post something new at least 4-5 times a week. Imagine that! Right now I’m at about once a month. We’ll see how this goes…I give myself a week, ha!
This week Cooper and I celebrate 9 years of dating. Since we both work from home we spend a lotttttttttttttttttttttttt of time together but if I had my choice I wouldn’t want it any other way. We are the perfect balance: he has a massive head and mine is rather small. Massive + rather small = just the right mix.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
