I did not get strep throat, and we all made it down to Florida and back and everything went more or less OK with some exceptions, and there are a few pictures up on Facebook if you are interested.  I would normally write up a big recap but A) I do not have time right now and B) I'm kind of saving that for a different project if I can ever get ( Read more... )

I've been trying to drink 64 oz of water or so a day, because it's supposed to be good for you and also it's freaking hot outside.  I sort of thought this wouldn't be a problem, because the only drink we have in our house (well, other than milk which is pretty much only for my cereal) is water.  I *love* water, too -- cold water is my favorite ( Read more... )

We haven't talked in awhile.  I blame NaNoWriMo.

So what's been happening with me?  Not much.  I wrote a novel.  It's not very good and it's not finished.  I got a bunch of rejections.  I played a fair bit of Runescape.  I finished reading Fellowship of the Ring and A Game of Thrones.  I liked them both a bunch and am currently reading Two Towers ( Read more... )

Last week engelhardtlm1  and I went on vacation with my family, which was a ton of fun and went so much better than last year.  We supped on the bounty of the sea, I caught a freaking skate, we only had one storm, no one got sick and nothing broke down and it was very nice.  Lucas and I left early to go to Pittsburgh for his college roommate's wedding, which ( Read more... )

This morning I spent some time on our college e-alumni site trying to upload an announcement about engelhardtlm1 's graduation.  While there, I've been browsing some of the other announcements from alumni in our class, and I have to admit, it's making me feel a little...unaccomplished.  All the announcements on there are like "XX gained their Ph.D."  and "So ( Read more... )

I am trying to write a rondeau.  That...is about the extend of what I'm doing today.  I don't think I even have the energy to *try* to do more than that.

Mostly this is because I spent about 48 hours doing stuff over the weekend, haha.  We had our church's Easter cantata last night.  We were both involved: engelhardtlm1  was playing keyboard with the worship ( Read more... )

I totally just made honey peanut butter.  I took the rest of my honeycomb and mixed in peanut butter - so it's all crunchy with the wax and delicious with the honey+peanut butter.  I'm pretty psyched about this.

( A little whining... )

So as some of you may know, engelhardtlm1 is going on the job market this winter/spring. He should graduate with his PhD in the spring/summer and then start teaching somewhere after that. And by somewhere, I mean it could be anywhere ( Read more... )

Today I had the last of my reciprocal programs for Summer Reading Club.  What happens is that, to fill our activity calendars without having to spend more money, staff members come up with programs that we do at different branches around the system.  However many programs your branch sends out, that's how many programs from other branches you can ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I updated: so sorry. Nine hour work days will do that to a gal, heh ( Read more... )
