I'm so much of a homebody that virtually any outing I make (aside from going to work) is a cause for celebration. That said, today Summer and I went on a quest.

We began simply enough, by dropping my prescriptions off at the store. Then we kicked it up a notch: we went to the Borders in Fairfax to pick up a new toy I'd put on hold (more on that in ( Read more... )

    Hiya.  I was surprised with a day off today (after I'd dragged my surprisingly unwilling body in at 7am), so I slept in until 11, ate lunch with Adam, spent about a half an hour at work doing paperwork, then spent an hour or so cuddling with The Boy.  It was lovely, if unexpected.  Having to work an event Saturday which I've not been trained to ( Read more... )

    Thanks to amazing boss Becky, I did not have to work today (and will not have to, for the rest of ever).  It was such a surreal feeling that I even went to astronomy this morning.  I was gross and unwashed, but I went nonetheless.  When

This weekend, Summer came over and spent the night.  She was fine, except for how she barked at Tia everytime she entered the room.  Summer is unused to someone being in the room with me once I go to sleep, I am unused to being awoken by barking at 1 am, so it was a little prickly.  We survived, then took pictures.  Cause we're awesome.

Today I saved a toad from almost certain death by Sam, and simultaneously saved myself from having to deal with toad...bits on my back deck.  It's nice to be loved so well by one's cat, but also really gross.

Mother has decided that since I have not been able to get a job (not for lack of trying, godammit!), I shall be put to work redecorating my ( Read more... )

Hallo!

Adam and I came home from Hilton Head afore the fam, so it's just me an the monsters for a bit.  It's nice.  Sam ("Mexican Sam"--as in, not "My Cat Sam," who is an American Shorthair, and not at all Mexican.  That I know of.  Maybe I'd best stick to "Human Sam"--

This is the first time I've been online at all since last night.  It's a good feeling.

Adam and I tried to play tennis and mostly just pelted each other and ran all over the court (which never seems very large until you're playing on it).  Had fun, though.  Thinking about looking into some summer lessons.  Movement of any kind is a good thing and I ( Read more... )

My little brother's going to be 18 tomorrow. Scary! I made him a pretty simple photo collage today with one of those multiple-frames picture frames. I'm happy with my photos and the composition, but I wish I'd started earlier. The frame itself is blah and I'd really like to paint it. Oh well. I'll have to steal it back from him tomorrow, I ( Read more... )
