a glorious weekend...
Yesterday was the most lovely spring day we've had thus far. Amanda and I packed up lunches and headed to the park with 4 of our 5 boys. (My oldest is off on a Boy Scout camping trip and I am missing him like crazy :( It's been a real revelation to me that he is growing up and becoming more independent...I'm sure this is only the first of many ( Read more... ) -
on the verge of a shift...
I think the tide may be turning. Wade got his promotion to CO2 this week, which is fabulous. He is going to get some back pay because his promotion/raise is retroactive back to September. He has a college degree and therefore qualified for CO2 at 6 months but had to complete his probation before it could take effect. He will also get the second ( Read more... ) -
weekend!
This has been an *awesome* weekend and it's not even over yet! We took the boys out for pizza and then to a super cute original children's theatre production at the university. It was an interactive play and Tristan was on stage as much as some of the actors - they figured out he has mad theatre skillz :D Then yesterday we took the kids shopping ( Read more... ) -
beginning to hate capitalism
Do retail establishments have it out for me or what? Recall a few weeks ago when New York and Co. double charged me? They sent my check through both as a paper check and an electronic one. Then I spent 20 minutes on the phone being transferred to three different people and repeating my account number, name, social, address, and story three times ( Read more... ) -
kindred spirits?
A couple of months ago, I got this random friend request on myspace from a stranger who lives about 30 miles from here. I don't usually friend strangers...although I'm more apt to do it on myspace than facebook. My myspace page is public so it's not like they can't see all my information anyway. I asked if I knew him, and he messaged back that ( Read more... ) -
impressed :)
I have never really enjoyed cooking. It's something I can do, but I don't go out of my way to do it. My kids are ultra picky and my husband works second shift, leaving me very few opportunities to make family dinners. But this year, for the first time ever, I decided to make a traditional Thanksgiving meal all on my own. I started last night by ( Read more... ) -
but this is a library!
xposted to library mofos
Today I had an angry student approach me at the reference desk in our small academic library. A transcript follows with my unsaid thoughts in italics:
Angry Student: Can you go over and tell that group of students to be quiet? They are really loud and they aren't talking about school work.
Me: Well, this is the main floor ( Read more... ) -
need a weekend to recover from my weekend
I am so exhausted :( I tried to go to bed early last night but the sleep deficit from Saturday's trip to NYC is too great to overcome. But, all in all, I had a great weekend; my only complaint is it being much too short. Friday night Wade and I went on a little date and Christmas shopping for the boys. We came home and put the kids in bed, then ( Read more... ) -
and a color one....
you are turquoise

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell ( Read more... ) -
