Testing out the LJ app for the iPhone. Seems to be pretty much the same as the iPad app, just smaller. ;)

Went for a walk along the river this morning, and tried out the HDR feature of this camera. I really like it! Pix come out amazingly sharp. ( in the woods )

It's hard to tell if it's still snowing, or just blowing around. It looks like we did get the projected 1-2', but with all the drifting, it's really hard to measure. It was knee-deep at the bottom of my stairs, and I'm pretty tall.

I finally got up the ambition to go out and shovel off the deck (actually, just a pathway through it) and stairs. I'm ( Read more... )

Friday night, I went to see Heart at the Hanover Theater in Worcester. The show was fantastic; they did all my favorites, including Keep My Love Alive, These Dreams, Magic Man, Crazy on You and lots more. And of course they did a Led Zeppelin song, Black Dog. B and I went to a nice Tapas restaurant before the show and had sangria and yummy food. ( Read more... )

I took the bus down to NYC on Friday, and it's been a whirlwind weekend. I have done a ton of walking, which hasn't left me nearly as stiff this morning as I was afraid it would.

My iPad has decided not to recognize the doohickey that allows me to upload photos, most annoyingly after it has already uploaded some of them, so pix will have to wait ( Read more... )

I took down my Yule tree today. It was time. I actually wanted to do it days ago, but waited until I could do it I daylight. I get such lovely light here! Such a welcome change from the old place. The room feels so empty now! But brighter and more open, which is good.

Then I went to Wegmans for my weekly food shopping. Gods I love that place! Plus, ( Read more... )

I had a fun time last night, getting home around 2:30 because it takes FOREVER for a cab to come in our little town. By then I was probably fine to drive, but I was still glad not to have to. I don't live far enough away for the car to warm up!

Went back over this morning for the traditional Hoppin' John, and mimosas. I planned to take a nap at some ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe Christmas is almost past already. That this year is almost over already. Not that I will be sorry to see it go, because it was a tough one to be sure. But good things happened too, and I am definitely much better off today than I was a year ago, or even ten months ago. A lot to be thankful for.

I went with my friend B to some ( Read more... )

...and tomorrow, I get Internet at home, so I don't have to steal moments at work, or go to the library, to check my email. I've been listening to audiobooks (I scored the first five Harry Potter books on tape at a yard sale, for free) and watching DVDs (Firefly from my collection, and Buffy from the library). I will be glad to have TV and Internet ( Read more... )

Sometimes I forget that not all of you are connected to me on Facebook & Twitter, and I wanted to let y'all know I made it through the storm just fine. We had some rain and a lot of wind, but no power outages or trees down, or flooding like they had in NYC. Man, they got socked. Everyone else in my circle of friends/family have been accounted for ( Read more... )

Early this evening, the house started rumbling like something really heavy was falling over. Then it felt like a train was going right by, or perhaps through, the house. We all looked at each other, and said OMG, WTF was that? Was that an earthquake? Welp, it was! That was equal parts scary and exciting. I'm glad it was just a smallish one.

Also, ( Read more... )
