I feel like a change of scenery is in order for this LJ, but I'm not sure who even makes LJ icons anymore. My main source was iconsbycurtana, but she hasn't made LJ icons in years, AFAIK ( Read more... )

I've been preparing to host an "Un-Christmas" lunch since, oh, the beginning of December. I invited my parents and fearsclave and his wife, Carolyn, and started menu planning three weeks ago and cooking last week. Because I rarely entertain, when I do, I want it to be memorable. I flatter myself that today went really well, overall. My parents get along ( Read more... )

It's not that I've forgotten LiveJournal exists. I come on here and read my friends' list almost every day. Few of you post that often, but enough of you post intermittently that I feel as if I'm keeping track of many of you. I suspect that may be a bit of an illusion, but that's okay.

I told myself I would post more to LJ this year, but I find I have nothing to say. My life consists of work, gym, and sleep. The pets are doing well (I have acquired a stray cat-I don't suppose anyone in or near Ottawa would like to adopt him?), and I'm doing reasonably okay. I just feel like I'd be boring the pants off the few people who still ( Read more... )

I don't think I could possibly catch up on everything that's happened since I last posted here, so I won't even try. That being said, there's stuff coming up that I may want to blog about in more depth, so making a bit of an effort now is in order.

First off, hi LJ Land! I haven't been posting, but I do read everything you write. <3 ( Read more... )

Moving house is eating my brain and taking up all my CPU. With any luck I will be back and posting properly after I've moved. The date is set for November 4th. Yay! Also, ACK!

Quick update on the State of the Phnee:

1. I am trying to pack like the wind, and mostly packing like molasses uphill in January. Still, things progress.
2. Sergent finally got his ( Read more... )

I remembered that I wrote a post about pets the other day, so I'm not sure how much more there is to actually say on the topic of the pets I've always wanted to have.

I'm still a little too raw over losing George and Pan-Pan (who's now been missing 22 days, not that I'm counting) to post any picspam of or stories about the cats.

I'm hoping elanya won't ( Read more... )

It has been All Birthday, All The Time at Casa mousme this week. We started with a wee celebration on Monday because I wouldn't be there for Bean's actual birthday on Wednesday. Then Bean had a special birthday celebration at school on Wednesday, complete with Monster High-themed cupcakes, and received some presents from pdaughter as well.
