Quick journal update while the magic Internet is on.  I was very good tonight, doing all the stuff I was supposed to do (amazing how No Internet helps with that).  I went through nearly everything in my upstairs hallway, and sorted out the Give from the Sell.  I bagged up some of the Give to make it easier to handle, and moved it all to the Spare ( Read more... )

It's absolutely beautiful out there right now.  I just went out for the second time today to sweep snow off of my yard and sidewalk.  It's snowing quietly, nice big flakes, and it's not even cold.  I was tempted to take a walk and show off my awesome new jacket, but not tempted enough.  I'd rather be holding hands with dtiernanInstead, I am heading ( Read more... )

The New Year's Eve party in Columbus was quite nice.  Fewer people than I thought there, which was good, because I could actually chat and get to know some of them better.  I've seen several of them around for the last year, but don't know them very well - a fact which was made apparent when one of them introduced herself to me, and I declined to ( Read more... )

Not ONLY did I do an awesome report at work today, tonight I also ( Read more... )

Wonderful weekend!  I feel like I'm squeezing every drop out of my holiday.  More details later.

Also, I just bought my bedroom vanity.  It's the black Powell vanity I've been pining for over the past couple months, and I finally clicked the Order button (saved almost $30 by buying on Amazon, at least).  I'm excited!  I'll have to move my old ( Read more... )

My bed is coming!  They called today to schedule delivery for Monday, and ABD said I could work from home.  Yay!  Now let's all pray the mattress fits up the stairs (I already ordered a split box spring for that reason).  I'm going bed linen shopping tonight, since my mom intelligently pointed out that I have no queen-sized sheets ( Read more... )

What are your thoughts on this bed?  I think I've decided I want a canopy bed.  I saw one set up in a store yesterday and fell in love (not with the bed itself, but the idea).  I always wanted one, now that I think about it.  It feels like such a princess thing to have.

I'm also considering this bed.  And this vanity.  Maybe with its matching ( Read more... )

More productivity today.  I walked to the bank to deposit a check, to close the joint account with rm_renfield, and to order new checks.  I then walked to the post office to mail off my rebate claim for my shiny new Moto Q, then stopped by City Hall to get a pass for the city pools (free!).  Apparently there was a rumor that they might start charging $5 for ( Read more... )

Looking at this coverage of the Wisconsin storms is just surreal.  I mean, I know it's happening, and I know all these places, but it's so strange to think they're under water now.  Every time I check, another part of another Interstate has washed away or been closed down.  The Emperor was nearly trapped in the Dells today when he couldn't get home ( Read more... )

Thursday:Things continue to go well.  We (and I use the term loosely, as my part mostly consisted of shoving boxes to the end of the moving truck) unloaded the entire truck by 9:00 am this morning and returned it to Penske.  The Emperor is truly a rockstar.  It is dreadfully hot and humid and I'm a little depressed that I have actually moved ( Read more... )
