It's raining outside, work was crazy, and my left contact is bothering me. I'd kind of like nothing better than to burrow down underneath all my warm, cozy blankets and watch a romantic comedy on DVD, or something.

But! Instead, I'm going to my very first tea party! I'm sorry to be missing the following trip to see Alice in Wonderland, but I ( Read more... )

Went to Disneyland today. Feet ache. Legs sore. OMG, exhausted.

It was SO FLIPPIN' HOT! I drank nine large drinks (Diet Coke or water, with an apple juice slushy thrown in for variety) and I did not have to pee. That's how hot it was. But it wasn't crowded at all, which I was really surprised about, given it's A) Saturday, and B) one of ( Read more... )

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a soccer team called the Reeboks full of little girls not more than nine years old. Two of the least-likely soccer players were on that team. One wanted white shorts to match the pink-and-white shirts (nevermind grass stains--she wasn't going to be playing hard enough to get dirty), and the other wore ( Read more... )

Tonight, kirasha, adriannevandal, akarui_sekai and I celebrated St. Eastermas (because it's much closer now to St. Patrick's Day and Easter than to Christmas).

As a result, Lex!Monkey is finally dressed! He came home with shoes and socks only well over a year ago because all the clothes at Build a Bear were too short for his long limbs. I bought fabric, meaning to sew him a ( Read more... )

Apparently, I'm not allowed to have visiting friends and perfect weather all at the same time. It seems that when anyone comes to visit, it either rains, is cold, or both. I mean, I'm not complaining because I actually really like the rain, and we really, really need it. The forecast called for thunderstorms today. I'm not sure there were any, ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned that msktrnanny is visiting. I collected her from the Flyaway Tuesday evening, and we really haven't gotten to do a lot of, well, anything. I've been working and she's been exploring the neighborhood. Soon, though, I'll have a few days off ( Read more... )

The house is in tip-top shape on the off chance my visiting-from-Illinois friends (who're staying waaaaaay dooooown sooooouth in Manhattan Beach) decide to make the long trek up this-a-way. Even if they don't, it's nice to have the mountain of half-used paint cans out from the patio and into the storage unit. *g* Such a simple thing, but it was ( Read more... )

I spent most of today painting the kitchen. This place is slowly but surely making its way towards being finished! I taped and edged with primer and painted with primer (and climbed in and out of the nook the fridge sits in, and climbed around the fridge itself which takes up almost the entire kitchen when not in its nook) and edged with red and ( Read more... )

As I'm sure is obvious, December was not my best picture month. I took a LOT of pictures in the last couple days of the month, and there were more than a handful of days I didn't take any at all. Two years of daily pictures and it kind of broke down right at the end. This week even has three "guest photographer" days, where I thought pictures my ( Read more... )
