grrrrr
I am profoundly cranky at the universe right now.
So, with all the DMV bullshit from last week, I had permission to work from home Friday, and I finally (FINALLY FINALLY) got my fucking license renewed. I then put in my full day at work and did some cleanup and food prep for the party--and then had to drive to fetch my husband, who managed two ( Read more... ) -
even just typing this up was exhausting, but it was still great.
Today I finally worked through a chapter in "Storm Waves" that I've literally been stuck on for a year. a year. It's done and now I can move on to the actual plot. Hurrah ( Read more... ) -

It's been a good birthday weekend. (So convenient that my birthday will overlap with a long weekend most years.) I came home Friday and did a lot of cooking and prep for the party on Saturday, which included making like 3 dozen deviled eggs and a gallon of potato salad and paladin making a ton of twice-baked potatoes, then collapsed on the couch ( Read more... ) -
Holiday weekends are the best.
It's been a very up-or-down sort of weekend! Friday we got out of work early, and paladin and I went out for a seafood dinner (he got steak for his birthday; I got lobster for mine.) Saturday was sort of a whirlwind. We were having a party in the evening for my birthday, but when we got up in the morning, the kitchen sink would not drain. This ( Read more... ) -
that was odd but awesome.
So, earlier today, I went on Amazon to purchase a bunch of anime, based on folks' recommendations in the last post. (Thank you all!) Wow, it has surely fallen in price from the days I remember when the box set of Weiß Kreuz was like $200. (This tells you how long it's been since I bought anime, right?) So I order a pile of stuff that looked ( Read more... ) -
but under the skinned knees and the skid marks
Today's a pretty good day!
I got my birthday gifts from my parents today, which included A Game of Thrones: the Card Game and also Shadows Over Camelot, both of which I played and enjoyed very much at GenCon. For the record, guys, this means I am hosting a game night sometime soon. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ( Read more... ) -

Yay!
So, I came home Wednesday night to spend some time with parents for my birthday. Thursday was a pretty awesome day. My mom and I went out shopping at Barnes and Noble, where I bought her the first three book of Kushiel's Legacy. She then went to get her hair done, and I got a pedicure with gorgeous shiny dark-red polish. We wandered the ( Read more... ) -
FF4, kill me a little more, okay?
ZOMG FF4 DS MOVIE. Kain is totally eavesdropping on Cecil and Rosa and omg omg omg there are not enough hearts in this world to express the depth of my fangirling squealing glee. Kain, I love you. ♥ (This is not an excuse, Captain Highwind, for you to encourage first_seventhe's damn plotbunny that would somehow get you talking to Gabranth. I repeat, this is ( Read more... ) -
Birthday, and a week in review
Because I keep forgetting to update except when I'm at work :)
It's been a pretty good week. bobbler and Nikki had a party on Saturday for Labour Day since they wouldn't be around for the second party on Sunday. We had our own party on Sunday, which involved lots of fun people (Ian actually was able to make it, which was pretty cool) and general good ( Read more... )
