Well, my wish was granted. Troy brought the car home so that he could go have a couple beers with his coworkers after work, so I did get to go to Polo and walk around for a bit. He's been so worried that if he has a beer or two with his friends that suddenly I'll burst into active labour and he won't be able to get home in time-- so I was glad ( Read more... )

I swear; everytime I have a doctor's appointment, I am almost always involved in some sort of possibly damaging accident right before it, and unfortunately today was no exception. As I was driving to my appointment, I was nearly sideswiped by a woman in a truck who decided that 4x4 means "total control on slippery roads", while she fish-tailed ( Read more... )

Just got back from dinner with Lynda, where I had a fantastic penne (pomedero?) dish and some sort of scrumptious banana-cheesecake-esque sort of dessert. Mmmmboy ( Read more... )

Well, I went to Grant Park with the intention of buying a few things, and came home with many things, notably; the Madrigaia CD (eep!), Children of Men by P.D. James (which is what I was actually there for), and two pairs of shoes. *hangs head in shame*
Truthfully, I did need new shoes, but perhaps getting both a pair of running and a pair of ( Read more... )

Hoo! Busy day ( Read more... )

Finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. Delightful, and facinating. Highly recommended if you like a story with a very unusual protaganist. My client's mom lent it to me-- it lends a different perspective in light of my new job.

Still trudging along in Angela's Ashes. Should be finished that one soon too, I hope ( Read more... )

Troy and I went to Walmart (he actually volunteered to go) and looked at plants and garden stuff. Oh, the ideas that ran through my head. The good news is we've found a cost effective alternative to putting cedar ties along our garden, which means I can spend more money on other things... like plants. More plants. I'm also eyeing up a corner baker' ( Read more... )

Another good day-- thankfully, less chaotic than yesterday. I met and worked with my senior tutor today. A good guy-- I think we'll get along great. I got to work more with my client, and play more as well. We'll start getting used to each other soon enough. I hope to foster a relationship that's as close as the other tutor has with him, as I can ( Read more... )

My poor, poor puppy. Winchester's taking the whole "removal of her female organs" thing pretty badly. She doesn't eat, drink, and hobbles around like we've just robbed her of her soul. She doesn't even look happy when Troy's around. *worried ( Read more... )

Well, we used the money from Troy's mum and dad to buy ourselves a new dv camcorder today. It's perrrty. And TINY. So now I feel all tech-ed out... I've got all these little bitty things that have buttons and manuals that are thicker than The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, and I have no idea how to use them yet. *le sigh ( Read more... )
