Boy, did I get lucky today. Well, last night and today. Because I was reminded not once, but TWICE, why I am better off now ( Read more... )

I can't say that my weekend made me sick. I discovered the first swollen gland in my neck on Friday, before I even felt sick. Did I heed the warning and stay in? Not bloody likely.

But wait, let me back up. First I must say that Thanksgiving was lovely, as it usually is. I had a great time with my family, we successfully drew names for Christmas ( Read more... )

This morning Tom walked to work with me. He'd stayed over last night due to my apartment's proximity to both Fenway and his barber. Anyhoo...we were headed down Kent Street when we saw a HERD of turkeys on Longwood Mall. No joke, there were at least four of them, maybe five. Tom asked if I had my camera, and when I said no, he tried taking a couple ( Read more... )

This morning I was running late. Tom had stayed over last night, and since he didn't have to leave as early as I did, he asked if he could do anything to help me. I told him he could iron my pants. I said, "They're on the ironing board. I already laid them out that way because they're creased ( Read more... )

That was the title of a book about blogging that I saw in the bookstore a while back.

I'm going to defy it by telling you that today I brought a PB&J, a cheese stick, some blueberries, and some triscuits. And I am super psyched for it even though it's like a fifth-grader's lunch.

Last night I got to experience one of the perks of Tom's summer job- a ( Read more... )

Q: How do you know when it's time for a new computer?
A: When your iPod can store more than your computer's hard drive.

No, I'm not kidding. My iPod outpaces my current laptop by 50 GB. So there is a lovely new laptop on its way to me that should arrive by next week, with oodles more storage and memory. It should run at least a little faster than the ( Read more... )

The latest weekend trip for Tom and me was to New Hampshire, to attend Nico and Jeremiah's wedding. The wedding was wonderful- a very casual, outdoor affair at Nico's family's vineyard. The food was burgers and hot dogs and the music was a cajun band that sang everything in french. (We stopped being able to differentiate between the songs after ( Read more... )

This past weekend was the only one in June when Tom and I didn't have to attend a wedding. (For those keeping score, we had the Bartley-Dion festivities on the 6th, and we have one the 21st and one the 29th.) Because having a relaxing weekend at home is for chumps, we went to New York for the weekend. The stated purpose was to see The 39 Steps (I'd ( Read more... )

Tom: Beth?

Me: Huh?

Tom: Hi. Um, did we just have a conversation or was that in my dream?

Me: Um, I think it was in your dream.

Tom: Oh. Good. So you didn' t throw up on my shoes.

Tom and I went to see Indiana Jones Friday night. Let's just say that if you go into it expecting to have fun, and not expecting much else, you'll enjoy it. We watched Pan's Labyrinth last night and it was just excellent...but sad.

I had my first trip to the driving range yesterday. I'm not on my way to the LPGA but I definitely had fun. I can see ( Read more... )
