Morning:

Originally I was planning on going to Alicia's party this afternoon/evening, so I would need to get a bunch of things done in the morning as soon as possible. Buttt I slept in until 11. So then I thought, maybe if I just rush this can still work. So I go downstairs for a second as Chloe runs upstairs. I assume she's getting a teddybear. I  ( Read more... )

Strange but great day...no consistent sleep from 4 in the morning on, due to warmth, a stupid, SUPER loud woodpecker, and many morning songbirds...went to the beach, cranky on the drive up but then ate yogurt with fresh strawberries and took a nap in the sun, which healed all...read through 2 very meaty and very upsetting acts of King Lear (little ( Read more... )

Sitting cozily on the couch, laptop on...lap. I like that I don't have to wrap myself in a blanket or park the little heater (Toastybot is his name, because it looks like it has a little face and everything) to feel warm-- the computer is generating just the right amount of heat. This is really VERY cozy. It's not just the laptop heat. It's that my ( Read more... )

 Tomorrow's the last day of winter break! Well, actually, technically today was the last day of winter break, but tomorrow we have a "professional day," a.k.a. no school, so it's pretty much extended. Phewf. I always need to take a moment after a long vacation to step back and see where all that time has gone, and remember all of the fun little ( Read more... )

At Emma's request, I promise I will at least try to post on a more regular basis, possibly a daily or near-daily basis, either with life-documentation or just random thingies I feel like posting. It IS quite fun, I've just been distracted lately. SEGWAY INTO....New York visit! I just (around 10 minutes ago) got home from good old New York, New York ( Read more... )

 I SO did not mean to get myself into this! There is a LESSON to be LEARNED from this, dear children. I have some old friends who I do not like anymore. One of them I cannot stand, one of them is nice and tolerable but very strange and her family confuses me very much, and the other is very very nice but I don't know what to talk about with him ( Read more... )

Hello, world!
I've been pretty lazy about posting lately...

Well, it's an absolutely idyllic autumn day. The sun is shining, it's warm with a gentle fall breeze, and the folliage is beginning to pop. It's just perfect.
I took the dog for a walk this morning (involuntarily -- I was kicked out of bed at 10:00 by my mother), which ended up being a lovely ( Read more... )

Phoebe loves life in da hood. And by da hood, I mean the hood of my big CSW sweatshirt. She's been floofed up in the insulated hood cave nearly all day! We're discovering that she's extremely social -- leave her in her cage when she wants to be with people, and she will ta-WEET to be taken out. But it's not obnoxious, it's actually pretty cute. I'm ( Read more... )

Phoebe the lovebird has arrived!!!
She is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
She's only SIX WEEKS OLD, and you can tell because she's such a cute little baby!!! Like she still has trouble stepping up onto peoples' fingers and stuff, and she was so excited to explore her cage and practice jumping to and from the various thingamabobs. She's SO SWEET, and SUPER calm ( Read more... )
