Okay so I'm a lame-ass for not posting for a month. This last week I was in Yellowstone with Chad's family (about 23 people or something absurd). I had a blast hanging out with everyone and exploring the wilderness but we got back last night and I know I speak for both of us when I say it's good to be home.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Livermore with ( Read more... )

I was out in NM for a while and I just returned on Tuesday night.

In terms of news, I'm kind of cut off since we have no t.v. or internet and don't have a subscription to any nation paper. I just found out that George Carlin died and am slightly bummed. I'm not sure why my mom didn't tell me since she loves him and she has unlimited access to news ( Read more... )

Good news. The fire is fully contained. I kept meaning to post updates throughout the weekend but I've been so busy writing essays and preparing for finals week that it kept getting pushed back on my "to do" list. Containment didn't come until Saturday with 15% containment and it only improved from there. Thankfully, the weather really cooperated ( Read more... )

I haven't really done much online since the end of NaNo. I pretty much went straight to doing all the homework I was putting off. I took finals and did quite well. About three days after finals, I went to New Mexico to visit my dad. It was tons of fun to see him again and we got to spend a lot more quality time together.

While I was there, our ( Read more... )

Chad's friends Jesse and Jessica (they all went to high school together) just left a couple hours ago. They came last night a little after dinner time and stayed the night since school's out for them and they were passing through on the way to California. It was really nice to hang out with them, especially since the only person I've been around ( Read more... )

So I'm in the process of writing a cover letter for my resume. Which sucks. A lot ( Read more... )

Yes, I am alive. Chad and I finally set up the internet at our new place in New Mexico so I will be much more active and connected. I actually fear that I'll have trouble unplugging, as I'm zipping around sundry websites, trying frantically to catch up on all that I've missed in the last few weeks. lol

All is going fairly well. I'm homesick like a ( Read more... )

Well, I turned 20 on Saturday. Quite mellow in terms of celebration. I just relaxed all day with my brother Chris, Chad, and my mom, watching movies, making random jokes, and being lazy. My kind of day. :) I had a glass of Bailey's to celebrate and my mom made a dinner and birthday dessert of my choosing: tacos and a pumpkin pie (in lieu of ( Read more... )

but I'm not totally healthy either. I had a pretty sucky sinus infection that lasted for about a week.I had a respite of a day or two and then woke up in the middle of the night feeling fluish in the worst way. Most of yesterday, I was prone on the couch, trying not to make any abrupt movements. My body was so sore that even my skin hurt. There ( Read more... )

Well, actually, I've been back since Thursday. We had a really great time visiting my dad, Anya, and all the munchkins up there. I've just been recuperating from the drive home and spending some time at Chad's place. Most of his family is there. We celebrated a late Christmas on Saturday since his brother Justin returned from his mission just a ( Read more... )
