Running: The Hill continues to defeat me. This may have something to do with the fact that since getting healthy enough to run again, I've done so maybe twice. *smacks self on wrist* Life keeps thwarting my attempts to become awesome.

Chess: Hadn't played or studied in weeks and weeks, so I was expecting Mr. Bill to beat me pretty handily ( Read more... )

I don't know if it's possible to actually die of fun, but if it is, I think that might be a genuine concern in my case. Had absolutely fantabulous weekend, consumed far too much sugar, opened generous helpings of presents, spent much time with green_tea_lady and a multitude of other extremely cool people. Watched Eddie Izzard, showed some of SG-1 Season 10 to GT ( Read more... )

1. You know the drill: Had a lovely, relaxed three-day weekend, during which I checked LJ not at all. If I missed anything important/amusing/awesome/whatever, leave me a link in comments, pretty please!

2. Quilling: Quilling snowflakes is like asking to go insane. I finally realized that trying to make six identical shapes out of tiny strips of ( Read more... )

1. Shiny: Mr. Bill and our bookstore-owning friend went to Quartzite last week and brought me back geodes (I collect them in an occasional, desultory sort of way). We broke/cut them open this weekend (fun with hammers! chisels! wet saws! whee!).

I BEAT MR. BILL AT CHESS!!!

(liek omg!)

And not because of any particularly glaring oversights on his part, this time. And even in spite of a few glaring oversights on my part! I finally won on the strength of my own skills (or despite lack of same, heh)!

So yeah, this is a post just to say YAYZ!

As you were.

1. I got to "skip=110" on my friendslist (the journals only filter, I didn't even try to read it with all the comms in) and I have finally given up. If you had something posted over the weekend that I need/want/should see, leave a comment ( Read more... )

1. Have begun a new running regimen that involves letting Mr. Bill basically kick my butt into running farther, more, faster, whatever. The idea is that if I'm working more strenuously, I'll somewhat make up for all the holiday goodies I'm already eating. We shall see ( Read more... )

The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.

( Happiness under the cut! )
