The surgeon woke me on Friday, calling to see how I was doing. He was a little concerned that I was still asleep at 10:30am, but I assured him it was only because of my night owl tendencies when I don't have work the next morning. Afterwards, I set out on my own for a small shopping trip and a long drive in the country side. It felt SO GOOD to be ( Read more... )

Hubbyfink and I had a VERY nerdy New Year's Eve which consisted of BBC America's "Doctor Who" marathon interspersed with the Lego "Lord of the Rings" video game. The game can be played either as a solo adventure or a cooperative venture. We've been playing co-op and having a fantastic time. Yes, we could have gone to a couple of parties last night ( Read more... )

I am so excited, I could burst. The cube move date is set for 10 June and I will get a cube that faces a window which overlooks trees and lake-with-fountain and geese. So excited ( Read more... )

There was gaming, socializing, and cleaning/organizing to various levels of success this weekend. I was bored Friday night and finally broke open The Orange Box to give "Half Life 2" a try. Ten minutes later, I shut down the 360 because I was nauseated and motion sick. I tried again a few hours later and was able to play for another ten minutes ( Read more... )

Bioshock 2, that's what. I bought it when it was released in February and it has been patiently waiting for the winter semester to end so that I could play it. I finally unwrapped the package and popped the disc in the Xbox Sunday night. I am half way through my bye week and half way through the game. The story is kind of "meh" and I find myself ( Read more... )

The Virginia Doomsday is almost complete. School is, so far, going well. I finally got over that migraine (thank you, Tylenol PM). I found arm warmers tucked in my purse so my hands are no longer FREEZING. I've performed a miracle for Bossman. It's been a good day ( Read more... )

I couldn't stand the craving anymore and baked chocolate chip cookies this afternoon. A soft warm cookie and mug of hot cocoa are the perfect post shoveling workout repast. Okay, maybe not perfect but it sure is tasty! Hubbyfink felt like he was losing man points by "letting" me bundle up and shovel the knee-high drifts from the steps and front ( Read more... )

I got up early again and spent another thirty minutes on the treadmill in the gym at work. Happily, there was plenty of hot water for today's post-workout shower. I was at my desk before 9am again. Bossman even commented on my being in the office early and chuckled happily when I told him that was this year's resolution ( Read more... )

I feel all virtuous and stuff for weeding through my closet today. If I didn't love it or it didn't fit, it went into a bag for Goodwill. Three bags later and my shirts and sweaters are now separated into "dressy" and "casual", I've eliminated two pants hangers, and my t-shirts are no longer spilling out of their drawers. I was going to weed ( Read more... )

My loot: Sparkly necklace & earrings set and "Super Mario Bros Wii" from the 'fink (plus the laptop, of course); money from Mom; money, Waterford divided platter, jewelry box, monogrammed notebook thingie, monogrammed cocktail napkins, and crystal mouthwash decanter (I kid you not; the stopper is part shot glass) from Daddy & Linda ( Read more... )
