One good thing about our relationship: at lunch, I started telling Vogon about a funny-weird dream I had this morning after he left for work. (I went back to bed after dropping Laurel off at school. Yes, I'm spoiled.) He finished my sentence and said "You already told me about it." When I protested that I hadn't had the chance since I woke up, he ( Read more... )

After upping the amount I walk yesterday, my right knee is sore and the kneecap is subluxating more than usual, so I guess it's time for new sneakers. Any recommendations for narrow feet and high arches ( Read more... )

I picked up a link to a Five Love Languages quiz from jinkeez awhile back but hadn't gotten around to asking Vogon to do it for my edification until this week. It was interesting to see how different our wants are.

Something to be happy about: I now have a key. Unfortunately, it doesn't work when it's left in the house. (I'm taking the Altoids tangerine sours tin out of my bag to prevent false keys-clipped-in noise in the future.) We took a leisurely stroll down to Vogon's work to get a quick ride back and let in. Whee ( Read more... )

We ultimately didn't see Blondie because we were tired and there was cooking distracting us. Remember the comment thread where I told vogonpoet not to tease me with tamales? He started Sunday with occasional help from me -- mostly cleaning, because I like it. There's a few dozen ready to eat (packed the steamer too tight yesterday, d'oh) and numbers I'm ( Read more... )

I wasn't too far off with my prediction this would be an interesting weekend ( Read more... )
