I got my plane tickets, hotel, and rental car booked for Chicago. I'm flying in Thursday, Oct. 27 and flying out late Saturday, Oct. 29. I welcome any suggestions for things to do/see/eat while I'm there.

I went to a winery with

Once again I have fallen off the face of the internet. This time it was mostly due to seeing internet people in real life. (I know! What sort of madness is this?!)

I spent a couple weekends at

Internets, since last we spoke, there has been much awesome music. Last week I saw Gold Motel again. Pics start about halfway down this page. They played an excellent show as always and performed two new songs. I liked both of them, so I'm looking forward to whenever the new album is released. I made a new friend at the show, too. (Hi,

That was almost 'May Has Been Busty.' Also a true statement ( Read more... )

Brooke and I have bought our tickets and will officially be in the UK March 16-26! We're planning to visit London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Stonehenge (greatest of all the henges), but we haven't figured out which days we will be where yet. We know where we want to stay in London and Edinburgh. If anyone has any recommendations for Cardiff, that ( Read more... )

I clearly needed it since I slept from 6.30 last night to 7.30 this morning. This has been a bit of a hectic week with dance classes starting up again. I'm taking 3 classes right now which is more than I've done in one session before. Also my uncle was in town for a conference, so I was out really late on Thursday having dinner with him. Note: ( Read more... )

I have many new pictures up on flickr to show you. There are a few zoo pictures from a few weeks ago. They are mostly of the alpacas since they had recently been shaved. They are very spindly under all that hair.

So Mom and Aunt Jane came in town on Thursday for DC fun times. Pictures from our various excursions are here. We started out at the ( Read more... )

Last weekend, Natalie and Judith visited for the Cherry Blossom Festival. We had a great time going to the African Art Museum (not at all crowded), the American History Museum (very crowded), and the Tidal Basin to see the cherry trees (omg so crowded). Pictures are here. We also spent some time flying kites on Sunday. Overall it was a very low-key ( Read more... )

March has been a ridiculously busy month, and April is looking to be the same way. I really hope May is chill, so I can take off a few days here and there ( Read more... )

So I had my first root canal Wednesday. I thought I might need a filling replaced or have a new cavity. Nope, root canal. They did it right then, so I didn't have much time to get anxious and jittery over it. My mouth and jaw are still a bit sore, but it's manageable with ibuprofen. I get to go back in two weeks to get a crown put on. I look ( Read more... )
