I woke up this morning to a very sweet Valentine and a box of heart-shaped Dunkin' Donuts.  I'm so glad that I happened to wake up early enough to say goodbye to dtiernan and thank him for his thoughtfulness.  PLUS, one of the donuts is the actual cream-filled kind I love, that DD hardly ever carries.  They sometimes claim they do, but it's always a Boston ( Read more... )

I'm making recovery progress - we went to three different stores on Saturday, and I didn't collapse :)  I did drag a bit, but hey - open heart surgery'll do that to you.  We returned bunch of stuff, got groceries, and picked up a cute food & water bowl for the kittens ( Read more... )

dtiernan and I spent the night in last night, hosting our own personal Movie Night.  We watched Live Free or Die Hard and made up a drinking game for it.  The rules got a little wishy-washy by the end ( Read more... )

Having trouble settling down for bed, now that I've started packing for HAWAII.  We are flying carry-on, which is proving a little tricky with some of the extra stuff we want to bring, but I will make it work.  I have already fit in clothing (including suits & sarong), shoes, and toiletries into my roller suitcase carry-on.  Hopefully dtiernan can take my ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to do this big catch-up LiveJournal post but time keeps getting away from me.  Short version:

Quite glad I got my butt to Kroger last night.  The snow is pretty falling as it is, but only because I'm cozy on my couch.  Working From Home for the win.  I'm also glad I forced myself to go down to the cellar and flip the circuit breaker again (I accidentally used my microwave at the same time as my toaster oven last week and hadn't been able to ( Read more... )
