Craig and I went and saw "The Lady in the Van" today. It's the (mostly) true story about the woman who lived in Alan Bennett's driveway for fifteen years. Maggie Smith was absolutely wonderful in it, and we both really enjoyed it, though Craig has been an Alan Bennett fan for years. We walked out of the theater with intentions to go do some ( Read more... )

I turned the TV on this morning in the middle of "I Only Have Eyes for You." One of my favorite episodes from S2. My friend L tells me that we'll be able to pick up on our Buffy watch when her daughter starts pre-school in August, but I've waited three years for her so I'm not holding my breath. If it doesn't happen, I'm totally going to do it on ( Read more... )

So the thing that was so cool yesterday has absolutely nothing to do with our vacation, other than the fact that the car ride to the airport gave Craig and I a couple hours to just talk. Offhandedly, I made a comment about, "No more babies, huh?" Wistful but knowing that there wouldn't be. I've known that for a while, but I poke at Craig ( Read more... )

Craig's schedule is changing again. They're in the middle of annual performance reviews, which means he had the opportunity to sit down with his manager and really talk about his job and his (un)happiness with it. It's been decided that the staying overnight on the peninsula doesn't need to happen anymore. They've restructured his work day so that ( Read more... )

Can you tell I'm trying to get back into the habit of posting, lol ( Read more... )

I need to respond to the comments in my last post, but I just can't right now. I'm too sick to my stomach. The news of what's going on in the UK is killing me, especially as it creeps closer and closer to family. Meanwhile, Craig found out this morning that he had to go to Reno for a few days for a work thing, so he's now gone and won't be back ( Read more... )

Today was Craig's birthday. My hubby turned 39. His choice of how to celebrate was to go into San Francisco as a family to see the Teatro Zinzanni. He and I have seen it twice before, but just us, and we figured Alex was old enough now to sit through it. The matinee is a shortened version, just 2.5 hours instead of 4, and the kids loved it. Alex ( Read more... )

I should really do the getting to know you meme, but I've sat here for the last hour trying to figure out what first to talk about, and...I just can't think of anything. I'm in one of those, my life is so boring/I'm tired/I'm sore kind of moods. Nothing is exciting me ( Read more... )

I was strong last night, though it was hard. No new shiny for me ( Read more... )

Pepper and her sister left this morning, after spending nine days with me. My house was obscenely quiet today, though I managed to get 4k written. I'm thisclose to finally finishing something that is way overdue, but I'm just so fried right now, I'm not sure I can. I just want to sit back and watch the last two hours of 24. Ah, Jack Bauer, it's ( Read more... )
