Back from my weekend in New York. Because I was away, I finally broke my posting streak, after 112 days of posting. I did take my laptop with me, but was having too much fun that I couldn't be bothered to update LJ. Ah, well. Guess I can start counting up to another hundred from today. I also missed a milestone this weekend - Saturday, August 28th ( Read more... )

Quote of the day:

My professor, to the Army Fellows in my class: "Don't they teach you guys not to say bad things about the President and Vice President? They don't cover that in basic training?"

Also, I was talking to my mother today, and I mentioned that I'd been reading Budget Travel magazine and now I want to take a cooking class in Italy. We ( Read more... )

I've been pretending I'm still on vacation, and wanted to eat something that reminded me of places more tropical, so yesterday I cracked open the Key West Bahama Village Jerk Sauce that I bought and marinated some chicken.

It only rained one morning, on our last day in Key West, so we occupied ourselves by going to a shop called Peppers of Key West ( Read more... )

In one of the many gift shops we went in this week, my mom found a book titled, "Quit Your Job and Move to Key West." That's pretty much how I feel right now ( Read more... )

You know, when I was a kid, my mom and I used to sing "Leavin' on a Jet Plane" every time we went on vacation, even if we were driving. :) (We also used to sing "Carolina on My Mind" when we did our annual trips to North Carolina, but that's neither here nor there.)

Anyway, I'm leaving for a week in Key West (woo woo Spring Break!), and I'm not ( Read more... )

And by "that," I mean the crappiest year ever. Goodbye, 2009. I will not miss you.

So, uh, happy belated holiday-of-your-choosing to everyone. Also, belated thank you to louise39 for the Christmas card and seductivembrace for the virtual presents. I seem to have completely missed the holiday season here on LJ. I ended up taking an unscheduled hiatus ( Read more... )

Just letting you all know I haven't forgotten that I owe a bunch of people posts. I'm just very easily distracted, and so lots of other stuff has gotten posted instead. (Also, I've been doing a fair amount of fic-editing - yay feedback group!) But they're still in the back of my mind, and I'll get to them eventually, I promise.

According to my ( Read more... )

FYI, if anyone is interested in a day-by-day write-up of what I did on my trip (including pictures!), I'm posting at my personal blog, so feel free to stop over. It's taking me several posts, so I'll be updating it over the next few days.

Funny how your flist can become completely overwhelming and totally unmanageable when left unattended for two weeks. I don't think I'll ever recover ( Read more... )
