As I mentioned in my previous post, today was my dad's birthday...the good news is that he apparently enjoyed male-bonding time with my brother, who took him to see "The Expendables" (just for some brainless fun, not for any kind of...plot), he seemed to like his present (a GPS), and he had his favorite dinner (stuffed cabbage) followed by his ( Read more... )

A very happy birthday to a1057soul !!!  May your day be full of love and laughter!!!

Also, happy birthday to my dad...who's always there to lend a hand, who always supports me even when he doesn't agree with me. From my beautiful blue eyes to my tenacious personality to my anti-social tendencies, I am truly my father's daughter. Thank you dad, for everything ( Read more... )

So my birthday was...relatively uneventful.  I spent most of the day waiting for the UPS man (because when they deliver to my apartment building they require a signature)...he was supposed to come between 2 and 5pm.  He came at 7:15pm.  Really?  Anyway, it was a package from Victoria's Secret with some necessities (bras and panties) as well a few ( Read more... )

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Unfortunately, for the first time since he was born, my brother will NOT be around today...he has to work.  He worked last night, and will be working today, New Year's Eve, and New Year's day (in addition to various other days during the week).  This just goes to show you - if you do your job right, they punish you by scheduling ( Read more... )

And so, despite my best efforts, I am still apartmentless. The good news is that I have an appointment to see a place tomorrow, and I'm actually pretty excited about the property. Not only does it include my musts (the most important being that it allows cats), it has some extra bonuses (laundry room on-site, high speed internet available, cable ( Read more... )
