This is what conversations at home sound like now:

SPAWN (running through house): YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
ME (downstairs): Gee, you think she's happy?
SPAWN: YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

After something like 10 years, I finally gave up and allowed my paid account to lapse (it's currently reverted back for a week to make up for an outage, but after May 14, that's it). I've gone back and forth about this for the last several years, but being on full-time toddler duty means I've not updated since November, so... it was time. That ( Read more... )

So, it has been a while. There is too much, let me sum up: had a baby, bought a house. I know, the baby is "old" news (she'll be nine months next Thursday; dear G-d, she'll have been out longer than she was in!), but she is amazing and brilliant and beautiful and currently fast asleep. THANK ALL THE DEITIES. Sleep is our biggest problem - aside ( Read more... )

I have a baby who hates fun. Now that the heat index is back under 90 degrees, we took a walk into town. She enjoyed the hardware store, was bored by the clothing store, and then FELL ASLEEP as soon as we hit the toy store. I was going to buy her something. Instead, I had no choice but to come home and clean the stove. It's nice when your ( Read more... )

Hi, internet, how've you been? I know, life's been crazy here, too. Sorry we haven't spoken in a while, I haven't had much time since I got the new job -- oh, you didn't hear?

Yeah, I got a job. Remember the temp job I had, the one where I drowned the car? Well, after temping there for five months, they were able to offer me a job. Not the ( Read more... )

Had my interview today. I'm not a great judge of these things--no matter what happens, I walk out thinking I bombed it, and today was no exception (okay, "bombed" is harsh; I got off to a weak start and don't feel like I fully recovered). Came home feeling bummed. Picked up my new (& expensive!) pair of glasses to find they had a large scratch ( Read more... )

Feeling very accomplished today.

First thing this morning, the Prof and I took the train in and went to Jewelers' Row to solve the ring size question once and for all. (For those disinclined to follow the link: we have had the devil's own time figuring out what size our wedding bands should be. Professional jewelers have been telling me to get ( Read more... )

I don't know if I'm coming down with something... or if it's PMS... or the economy... or trying to plan a wedding on a budget of $10 and pocket lint... but I feel like balls. And this mood doesn't seem to be lifting, either.

I haven't felt like doing much lately. I mean, even more than usual (after all, I'm the girl who put the 'laze' in 'malaise'). It's nice to have a Saturday morning free to do nothing in, rather than being stuck at work where I'm contractually obligated to, y'know, do stuff.

We had ruthven05 and his new girlfriend over for dinner last night. For all of ( Read more... )
