Hi. It's been some kind of forever since I've been here. Feeling guilty about that. But I've been missing my old friends rather desperately lately, so here I am, hoping that some of you are still around to say hi ( Read more... )

2011 huh? I've finally embraced the fact that New Year's resolutions are a bit beyond me. I can't seem to get up the resolve to "resolve" to do anything in particular. Most of the resolutions of the past few years have been about writing and publishing and a whole host of things that never came to fruition, and while I'm a wholehearted supporter ( Read more... )

Spent most of last night pretty awfully sick - I think I hardly slept more than a few hours peacefully. I feel better this morning, which is good, as I have a list a mile long of things to get done, but I'm not looking forward to my closing shift at work this evening. >_Also, a bunch of my friends are leaving for our annual vacation weekend today ( Read more... )

I had a good day yesterday. ^_^ First I went shopping with my mom. We were only planning on going to the grocery store, but she wanted to get a new external hard drive, so we went up to Micro Center too. As usual, I went straight to the laptops to ogle the really small, lightweight ones. I've been wanting one for months now - it's small and ( Read more... )

Ah, home at last. My vacation was a bit longer than usual this year, and though I had a fantastic time, I confess to being a bit homesick toward the end. Bu has greeted me handsomely and Tom will be home soon. ^__^ So I'm basically happy ( Read more... )

Tom got a job! Starting Monday, he will be working at the Half Price Books warehouse. ^_^ I'm so excited that he got this job. It's not the best pay in the universe (not by a long shot) but it's full time and comes with free health insurance (which saves us a bit of cash). Plus, he has regular, weekday, daytime hours, which lets him hang out ( Read more... )

Damn. I haven't felt this bad in a long time. It's 3:34 AM and I'm up (again) with a rather high fever. My normal healthy temperature runs low (about 97.5 degrees F), so right now, at 100.9 degrees, I feel pretty nasty. It's been fluctuating since waking up yesterday morning, and the record high (while measuring, that is) has been 101.5, which ( Read more... )

I had some friends over last night, and it was really very wonderful. It wasn't a large party by any means, but having six people (including me and Tom) in my home at once is very unusual for me. For once I didn't fret about people having things to entertain them or about playing hostess, which is also unusual for me. The conversations flowed ( Read more... )

Today is Tom's birthday, but he's come home sick from work and now he's sleeping on the couch. Poor thing ( Read more... )

I hope you all are having a terrific day, whether you celebrate the holiday or not. I'm about to dart out the door to my sister-in-law's place, but I wanted to steal a moment for everyone here. Have a happy Christmas! Love to everyone!
