So imthelobster and I went to visit hope_guides_me over the weekend, which was so much fun. We just hung around and played games and chilled. Someone else actually wanted to play Monopoly! That never happens. Mostly, though, it was just awesome to finally meet Crystal. ♥ Her kids, by the way? The most freaking polite, well-behaved, and sweet boys ever. I still don't want ( Read more... )

My mother and I are currently trying to hook up the new toilet in my spare bathroom. Being the genius home-repair women that we are, we just cut the water pipe... but forgot to turn the water off first...

That was a truly exciting couple of minutes. >.<'

It's that time again... time to be reminded that I am horribly ignoring my journal these days. :P (I still do pretty well with reading, though! Not with commenting, but still...)

Ugh, I think barbed_whispers makes it her lifes work to nudge me WHENEVER POSSIBLE. I was even going to update tonight anyway. :P
