Well. So I've been a pretty thin presence on LJ lately - and on my other blog too, actually. Um, exhaustion, lack of time, general stress - I blame it all ;) Frankly I suck at keeping up with one blog, let alone two! I haven't been reading all that much lately either - been having trouble sticking with a book. I can't even count how many have ( Read more... )

Okay so the citizenship test was a bit of a laugh - seriously, the questions (multiple choice!!!!!) nearly made me crack up; I think whoever wrote them was a) bored and b) had a sense of humour, not that many of the immigrants would have picked up on it. Being a native English speaker from a country very similar to Canada (and being involved in ( Read more... )

I ended up staying home this weekend - Adam went north to the cottage on his own, and is coming back with his dad this evening - and I'll tell you why. I needed to study ( Read more... )

I don't know why, but I feel really sad today. It's Monday and a public holiday - Thanksgiving - and I've had a great weekend so far, so you'd think I'd be in better spirits. But for some reason my head feels achy and I feel like I'm going to cry ( Read more... )

Cesar Millan makes me want a dog. I’m not a dog person, but he makes me think I could do it. Damn you Cesar Millan! I do love watching his show, though. He’s much better than the other guy, the one who seems really angry and aggressive all the time ( Read more... )

Things are chugging along and we've got a few things done:

- We picked up our wedding rings on Friday after work; they're nice and comfy and we're pleased :)

- We saw Inception - Adam didn't like it, big surprise there, but I did. It's quite intense and sad at the end and has one of those open endings that made the entire audience exclaim with a ( Read more... )

I've had an awful day at work and got to go home early - don't worry, it'll be okay, and I'm 100% supported, but I'm just one of those sensitive, emotional people who cry fairly easily (which sucks, by the way - anyone else like this who finds it just as inconvenient as I do ( Read more... )

I don't know if I should be laughing at this or if that's mean, but I can't help it. Only a couple of weeks ago I finally got my WordPress stats working and one of the things it tells me is what search words (in Google) people used to find my blog. That is, my blog was one of many things that came up when they put these search words in. It bemuses ( Read more... )

I have a new Cover Spam! up on Giraffe Days, if you want to come over and join me! It's the first one I've done in agesWe're heading up to the cottage tomorrow after work. No internet there, which is good for me. Can get some reading done! I am swamped by challenges but it's my own fault. I complain but I don't actually mind ( Read more... )

I'm so thrilled! Guess what, nah go on, guess! Yeah all right, I'll tell ya: I got a new computer!! I am, as I type, sitting on the couch in the book room, using my new MacBook Pro! I am so loving it! No more fighting over the iMac with Adam! Well, we never fought over it - we had to share, it was unavoidable - but we had spats sometimes. And I ( Read more... )
