Gwen and Zoe (and Norm!) came home from the hospital today.  they all look a little zoned and sleepy, but they seem to be doing okay.  i often get baby shuttle service.  since Gwen is still recovering from the c-section, she can't carry Zoe upstairs yet.  actually, she's not supposed to carry her at all since Zoe is so big.  so i've gotten to ( Read more... )

not spending much time on the internet.  now i must try and remember what has happened for the last few days.  done some more work in the backyard.  in fact, we've used over two pallettes of retaining wall bricks.  the well is starting to look pretty nice.  it was too hot to work on Wednesday, so we went to a big nursury near here and bought plants ( Read more... )

the weather has been beautiful...not that i get to be outside enjoying it.  work and all that.  i gave my last true lecture for my computer class.  next Tuesday, i'm going to do a review for the final.  so i really need to get familiar with what's on the final this weekend even if i don't completely finish writing it.  and i've never written a ( Read more... )

so, the Catherine Willows costume came together decently, and i trooped off to Marc's Halloween party.  wasn't as wild and crazy as last year, but i still had fun.  of course, i often have more fun when it isn't wild and crazy.  we finished off the night by watching The Life Aquatic.  now, Marc totally loves this movie and my parents hated it.  i ( Read more... )
