Geoff and I are driving to my Mom's as soon as we finish packing and setting up Fork.  Midnight, the oldest of our three kitties, is very sick.  His biopsy came back cancerous, and the vet says he's in a lot of pain.  He also can't eat because of a sore he has on his tongue, and they don't think he'll make it to next weekend... so Geoff is being ( Read more... )

Geoff and I finally made it to my house... it was a long and scary journey ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving went well yesterday.  Dinner was good, even though there was no cranberry sauce...  Mrs. B actually liked the oyster stew, though she thought the oysters had a weird texture.  My baked apples went over pretty well, and everyone got along.  We watched WALL*E after dinner while we went through the ads for Black Friday.  We got up around ( Read more... )

Off to Relay for Life today.  I've got an orange ribbon in my hair for Aggie, and I've got my breast cancer pin too.  I don't know what color brain cancer is on the spectrum thingy, but Clete, I'm thinking of you!  Hmm... I don't know what prostate cancer is either... but Grandpa, Uncle Bob, you're awesome!  Skin cancer is up next, affecting ( Read more... )

My GRE is on Tuesday...  I've been studying for a lot of the weekend...  I don't feel prepared...  Summary of events:

Friday
Classes till 3, then free!  I made delicious baked fish for dinner, though Geoff didn't like it as much as I did.  :-(  I studied a little bit for the verbal section of the GRE, and then Geoff and I played City of Heroes until ( Read more... )

So annoyed...  Have a five day weekend, decide to go home for post-wedding stuff and family visits.  Go to Geoff's and get ignored for almost the whole time we're there, except for at meals which were mostly spent arguing with Geoff's mom about holidays.  My mother's birthday is Christmas Eve, I am going to spend it with her thankyouverymuch ( Read more... )

At least it's almost the end of the summer!  I know there's technically, what, five weeks? before school starts back up, but it feels like the end already.  It's my last week of work...  I have my presentation/poster session tomorrow, and then on Friday I have to clean up my stuff and then that's it.  All done.  Big fancy RPI internship is over ( Read more... )

I had quite the weekend...  It was the only time I've been home this summer: can you say hectic?  Hooboy...

Geoff and I got to my house a little after midnight on Friday.  Sis was still up, and I was ravenous (no dinner) so I ate and chatted with her for a bit.  Geoff fell over dead on the sofa bed.  We slept late-ish on Saturday, and then went to ( Read more... )

I kind of feel like things are coming crashing down around me...  Everything was going pretty well in the planning department.  Even from far away, my mom and I have been in constant contact and stuff was happening the way it was supposed to.  I was cranking out my craft projects, she was getting things straightened out with vendors, my sister ( Read more... )

Long time no see...  Sorry for the long posting gap, I have been internet-less for a few days.  And they have been quite the few days!  Mom, Sis, and I left our house around 7 am on Saturday morning with a lot (but not all) of my stuff in tow.  Upon arriving in Troy, we inhaled some fast food for lunch and headed over to my apartment.  We hauled ( Read more... )
