Today was a rather long day. Ang and I had gone to a friend's house last night for dinner and some gaming. We got to see some friends we hadn't seen in over a year and introduce them to Terra Mystica--currently one of our favorite games. Unfortunately, the fact that there were two new players meant that the rules had to be explained which took a ( Read more... )

Angelo left today for New Year's Con down in Baltimore. He won't be back until the first. Originally I was going to go with him and we would spend the days leading up to the new year together and then be able to kiss on midnight of the new year. But life conspired against me to make that not happen. (Basically I did a stupid park job that got our ( Read more... )

*~Yesterday I got a free yoga mat!! One of my roommates acquired it from a friend of his and he didn't want it, so he offered it to anyone in the house. I snatched it up as soon as it was offered. Back in Indiana I did Yoga on the regular, but when I moved it was something that got put on the backburner. I'd never had a Yoga mat and wanted one and ( Read more... )

Yesterday I put on Facebook that I'm in love with my life. And I am. Last night I walked along the Hudson River on my way to the train station. The full moon was shining bright overhead, casting light on the water below, and I just couldn't believe that I have the life I have ( Read more... )

I'm so glad I made the decision to make the official release date for Rescued April 17. There is no way I could've had it finished by the first. Not with my crazy dayjob schedule. I worked eleven hours today, and will be doing the same tomorrow and Saturday (which means I probably won't be around much til at least Sunday~). By the time I got home ( Read more... )

I didn't make many New Year's resolutions this year--only three. One is to move to New Jersey, the second is to drink more water, and the third was to honor my writing more. At the end of last year (the last six months, really), my dayjob completely took over my life. I found myself staying late for coworkers, attempting to pick up extra shifts, ( Read more... )

Today is my last day off until Thanksgiving, so I'm trying to make it the most productive day of ever. So far I'm succeeding in that goal. I've set up a time for Comcast to come and set up internet and cable at my house, called Sprint over a charge that shouldn't be on my bill, looked up how to get my mom a replacement social security card (since ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving is next week and it's one of the busiest times we have at work. We specialize in making hams and turkeys specifically for special occasions and Thanksgiving and Christmas are easily are busiest times. (Easter is kind of, but nothing like these holidays). I'm scheduled 9-7 several days and the rest are 8-7. The only day off I have is ( Read more... )

I work at a store that specializes in hams--glazing them, selling them, making deli sandwiches out of them. If it contains ham we probably do it. While we do a decent profit from the deli portion of the store, the busiest time for us is, by far, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's only October and yet people are already calling in to place orders for ( Read more... )

I'm feeling kind of quiet today. Perhaps it's because Sarah and I were so busy earlier, or maybe it's because I'm slowing down and preparing for the next two days off. Felicia (my boss) noticed how much overtime I had gotten last week and offered to take my Wednesday shift in order to keep that from happening again. I was so very grateful. I love ( Read more... )
