Apologies for radio silence. Just not much going on. There were some really nice days last week, which of course coincided with some stuffiness. Methinks allergies. As of this weekend, I am a full-on, sneezing, coughing, snot monster. Yippee. Skipped the gym yesterday and today because of it. Hopefully, I'll be able to go tomorrow. We'll ( Read more... )

Okay, not nothing, but there really hasn't been much going on here. The job hunt situation is the same, I've been pretty good about not shopping, I'm still going to the gym with enthusiasm. I've read a few books in closer sequence in the past couple of weeks than I did in the first two weeks of the year, and I'm watching the first season of ( Read more... )

...rolled into one post. Wednesday evening was knitting night. I don't recall anything particular happening at knitting. Had a good time, as usual, and actually got some work done on the lace scarf I'm making. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this scarf, though. I bought the yarn at the Bellevue Art Fair last summer. I wasn't completely ( Read more... )

The house guests finally left today. As Sister had today off, but day care was open, we had intended to go to the morning water aerobics class at the gym. The house seemed so nice and peaceful and clean, though, that we were slackers and played video games instead. We didn't have to try and entertain anyone else, we could actually use our own ( Read more... )

Went out to dim sum with my Aunt Cynthia today. Yummy food as always, and it was great to see her. I hope we cheered her up a little too; she's recently lost one of her kitties and her long time roommate moved back to Japan, so she's been down. We really should make more of a point of seeing her on a regular basis. Sister and I finished taking ( Read more... )

...and the year is 2011. I'm not entirely sure where the past two - almost three - years have gone. I feel like I'm still in a holding pattern; I haven't moved forward at all in this time. At the same time, I am content. There are things I want and need in my life, but I am also good with where I am. Well, except for one glaring problem, but I ( Read more... )

i actually had both days off this weekend, so i got to have lots of fun hanging out with the Family. on Saturday, we started the morning by going to Pike Place Market. we had fresh donuts for breakfast and just generally looked around at all the cool stuff. Baby Girl got a balloon doggy from one of the street 'artists'...and proceeded to chew on ( Read more... )

or just that much of a bitch?  i've been wondering why my new thesis advisor hadn't e-mailed me for a while.  then, when i actually got an e-mail from him today, it just made me feel rather grouchy.  of course, all his messages to tend to include a rather unnecessary reminder that my time is running out for this thing.  also, this message asked me ( Read more... )

hello! look i'm writing within a few days of my previous entry! *looks around furtively* could someone call down to hell and make sure it isn't snowing? *l*

not really that much going on. the Family and i went to the Seattle Aquarium today. Baby Girl really likes the fish and seals, and the rest of us like aquariums in general, so it's a ( Read more... )

hello from Tully's Coffee.  no, i didn't change jobs.  i'm just hanging out at the café while the cleaners are at the house.  i don't need to be scrubbed or Lysoled.  *l*  also, i can sit here, drink some chai, and work on my thesis.  at least, that's the idea.  we'll see how long it takes to write this entry first.  heehee.
