Happy Birthday to me - yesterday. I took the day off of work, slept in, talked to my parents, and had a mostly really nice day.

( Just hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale.... )

Oh, Monday, you're so ... sudden. Even though I was expecting you. I was not expecting the 4 a.m. wake-up call from Millie, which turned into a minor clusterf*$# as both cats have figured out that when I'm building the little fort of shoe boxes outside the door it's the beginning of kicking them out of the bedroom. So they kept running past me back ( Read more... )

Big news in the Johnson-Magner household, and that is that we are moving our household. Yes, again. HOWEVER, lest ye despair, this move should be the last one for a good long time. Because we have found a rental house that is plenty big enough for us to stay in for yea, possibly as long as we shall have enough income, anyway ( Read more... )

Rehearsing is going well, I think. I'd have to ask Ann and Marlo, the choreographers, but I think the pieces are shaping up nicely. Each one is pretty different, so it's a nice spread for me. I get to stretch my abilities a bit, and push myself to be sharper or more fluid. Or more bruised. Possibly all three. Sometimes all at the same time, which ( Read more... )

Happy day after turkey day. Had a loverly time over at Michelle's, eating and being generally merry, in a small group kind of way. Much food was had, and while I did not stuff myself too badly, my stomach is protesting the abuse still. Silly tummy, it's only carbs. (Mmmm, carbs ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving come and gone - it's time to get ready for the giant Decemberation Holijumping Up and Down time. I needs to get into the mood. Which means perhaps I need to stop listening to all this emo and get my xmas music out. I won't buy a tree till the 8th at the earliest, so I have me a week and change to get the house in order and get my ( Read more... )

 The basement floor. Ok, that's not how the song goes, but that's what we did.

I have a friend who's on vacation in Peru, and I was kind of freaked out, emailing around and leaving phone messages, until I heard from her. She's perfectly fine, and going to hike the Inca trail. Thank goodness for email, another friend said. Indeed. I feel just awful for all the people down there, but at the same time I'm incredibly relieved ( Read more... )

Meh. My work office finally moved to a new space, and so they've required me and several others who were working from home full time *for the past five months* to come back into the office for a certain number of days per week. So I'm now in the office on Thursdays and Fridays for the forseeable future. Not best pleased, but there's nothing I can ( Read more... )

Going absolutely bonkers trying to get things done before my company gets here. My best friend from when I was a little girl is coming out to visit me, and we're going to have a blast. But I've been desperately trying to get the house in order before she gets here. And I've, um, spent a lot of money in the last few days/weeks on projects and things ( Read more... )
