Had a really quite lovely day today. The weather is beautiful, I colored my hair, my bag finally came (!!!!!!), I got two boxes of clothes unpacked, and my adorable grandparents came over and brought us a few things that were still at their house. Considering how dreadful the past few days have been, that's a rather lovely change ( Read more... )

Dinner turned out quite fantastically, if I do say so myself. The kitchen only sort of looks like a disaster, too! We've got a ton of leftovers as well, which is always nice because that'll be lunches for... awhile. ~_^ We haven't had pie yet, because I'm still only about four seconds from feeling like I'll explode (always the sign of a ( Read more... )

Just as a note, I'm leaving tomorrow morning (stupidly early >.<) for NC to see my family. I won't be at my email, but I will have my cell with me, though last time I was there I had like no signal in 90% of my grandparent's house. If it's anything that needs immediate attention (no idea what that would BE, but one never knows), you can call the ( Read more... )

I was supposed to have to go to work for a meeting tomorrow afternoon but when I called tonight to make sure that was still on, there was apparently no reference to that all on any of the schedules for tomorrow or anything, so my manager told me not to worry about it. This is extremely cool, as it means I can go to Target and spend the gift card ( Read more... )

I am officially 26. I admit, it's a little scary that I am now officially closer to 30 than I am to 20, but it's been a good, if uneventful, birthday so far. I'm having dinner with my mom on Saturday, I'm getting the best birthday gift possibly ever from kirakira_sora (with help from wao_wao), I'm wearing new Prada perfume (a sample, but it's lovely nonetheless) and ( Read more... )

Doomed to turn into our mothers, that is ( Read more... )

A very happy new year to you all! It has been quite a year, but what I think I'll remember most is how much beauty I was honoured to be able to share in this year.

( Cut for somewhat melodramatic ramblings, the likes of which can only happen when one has had several glasses of champagne. )

I'm sitting here at work, eating my terriyaki chicken salad and drinking a blueberry iced white tea, knowing that there's a wonderful woman waiting at home for me and a family full of people who would do anything for me, and talking to intelligent, interesting people and I realise, surprisingly, despite everything, life is pretty good ( Read more... )

Have returned from my weekend at the family homestead for brother's birthday, have survived the return of BSG without harming my television, and am about to head to bed. All in all, a successful weekend.

I'll try and catch up with everything tomorrow, but if there's anything you want me to see, drop me a comment or an email to make sure I get to

Work was a nightmare today for no particular reason. I am developing such a deep loathing for parts of my job, it is definitely time for some of those eight million resumes I submitted to pan out. Come on people, hire me! Look how fabulous and well educated and generally willing to work for a pittance relative to my ability I am ( Read more... )
