It's hard talking about our move 6 weeks later, because it worked out so well that I can barely remember why I was concerned about it. I'm even having trouble remembering why I hated the old apartment, even though it had a poor layout for a family, not enough rooms, not enough storage, and highway noise. The current place is still too small, with ( Read more... )

Apparently I only write New Year's resolution posts every other year now. Oops.2014 was obviously my biggest year evuh: I got married and had a baby. Hard to top those ( Read more... )

There was the exact wrong weather for snowmaking, even if I'd been feeling perfect, so we punted our original idea for skiing this weekend. With nothing else planning, I suggested we check out the reform synagogue that Jon's ex and son attend. I really liked it, alas. ( nobody was skyclad )

I haven't felt like leaving my apt much lately. My best theory is between the chigger bites and the Rainier sunburn, I've trained my body to have an aversion to sun and fresh air. I don't even seem to want to leave to buy groceries, let alone go running ( Read more... )

Sometimes I go back through old LJ entries and wonder why such-and-such event isn't mentioned. Turns out the problem is, I'm too busy experiencing/processing, I don't get around to writing about things until they are stale. The fortnight before Christmas was an incredibly productive? time for me, in which I figured out what I want, from a personal ( Read more... )

Last week was tough: I had 5 productive days in a row, taking my shiny streak to 7, but I whined whined whined the whole way through. My Friday plans fell through when we couldn't get confirmation that there'd be a hardpoint at that night's party. Instead, I had an unusually frank conversation with my mum about my love life and then had dinner with ( Read more... )

I was dubious about the hen trip to Miami. Like the trip to Russia/Kazahkstan, I assumed it wouldn't happen and then they bugged me to buy a plane ticket. It turned out to be wonderful. On Thursday, I wore a long-sleeve shirt to run and suffered. On Friday morning, I got off the plane, shed two layers so that I was wearing just a t-shirt, and ( Read more... )

I went to the gyno on Thurs for my post- procedure follow-up. Good: She said she's pretty sure she got all the rebellious cells; I don't have to see her again until December; and she LOL'd when I said my boyfriend is very interested in the timelne. Bad: It's going to be a full 3 weeks before I can resume *ahem* as I am not actually Wolverine. Ah ( Read more... )

I need to be kinder to myself about my new schedule sapping my energy, but it was frustrating to watch Friday turn from a 4-thing day into a 2-thing day. I don't understand why a liquor store would open at 8am and close at 7, but I didn't get out the door in time for the former and the latter... well. Hit the gym for a very satisfying leg weights ( Read more... )

With Columbus Day Actual falling on a Weds this year, I couldn't go away for the holiday, but I could catch a matinee. My mum even offered to buy tickets for the three of us. Too bad there was nothing to see. I read through the listings for all the Broadway and Off-Broadway shows and the only ones that sounded even moderately interesting were Book ( Read more... )
