I was lying in bed, wide awake at 2 AM, and realized I never posted this. The reason I'm awake at 2 AM is because my body thinks it's 4 PM... in Japan. Yes, David and I finally made it to Japan, his dream come true. And it was fun and amazing! I meant to post here before we left, but it just fell off my radar in and admidst the final prep, but if ( Read more... )

another long, rather random update from the desk of Robyn. I might make it a New Year's Resolution to begin writing here again, but that's a couple months off yet so I've got time ( Read more... )

once again I come back from the weekend more tired than when I got off work on Friday. or maybe it's about the same this Monday? I'm not sure. I do know that I was very exhausted by staying up until 2 AM Friday morning to look for meteors. but it was awesome! sure, it was a work night, the only drawback, but at least I only had to survive one day ( Read more... )

David and I went to Brazil on Sunday.

for dinner, we prepared Molded Steamed Chicken, Cornmeal And Vegetables ( or Cuscuz De Galinha), and dessert was Pumpkin Pudding (or Pudim De Abobora)I think it would have been fun to make a soup, too, but what we had proved to be plenty as it was. we cut the chicken meal recipe in half, and still have many ( Read more... )

David and I visited India this past weekend. it was a bit longer visit than we had planned. originally it was going to be a one-night thing, but things often don't go precisely as planned.

I don't think it was a conscious decision, anyway. that is, writing a letter to David was a conscious decision, and when I saw that card at the store, I just had to buy it for him, so that was conscious as well. but it wasn't until later that I noticed the letter was dated at the end of July, and the card was dated August 31. so I suppose I'd best ( Read more... )

Saturday, I got absolutely nothing done whatsoever. instead, I went to an in-service and recognition luncheon with Amenity Hospice, with whom I occasionally volunteer. the entire activity went from 8:30 to 5:00.

David and I had a date last night. except, it was all out of order.

first off, I got home earlier than usual (that is, at 5:50 instead of 6:05). and it was a gorgeous day. we started out the day with a storm as I drove to the van, complete with hail. but then it turned into a beautiful afternoon, and I had to decide how to spend it ( Read more... )

David and I didn't do a whole lot of serious stuff this weekend, and sometimes that's just what we need.

Saturday started out by not getting up early to meet Tom the realtor to look at houses. instead, I let Andy out and fed him, then went back to bed. David got up shortly thereafter, having trouble going back to sleep, but I didn't drag myself ( Read more... )
