So. Atlanta was fun. We met Larissa at the hotel, hung out a little bit, and then caught a shuttle (gotta love staying at 4-star hotels!) to the mall, to have lunch at The Cheesecake factory. Then we spent 4 hours at the mall .. mostly in Nordstrom's ( Read more... )

A friend of mine recently posted about losing time, a solemn post hastened by the loss of her husband's best friend. A post of regret, for not keeping up with people, for not making the people in her life a priority, and I have myself been guilty of the same thing. She called, weeks ago I think, while I was working, and I kept saying 'I'll call ( Read more... )

So. I went off to the mountains of NC again, and never posted pictures. I don't think I even said much about the whole trip. And maybe, just a little bit, that's because some of it was rather traumatic. But for the most part, it was a wonderful trip, and I want to do it again next year. Just .. I want to rent a different .. nicer .. house. You ( Read more... )

I know I don't post a lot, but that's because I'm busy. I have 25+ hours a week of work actually at work, not to mention dealing with emails and tracking down stuff for work while I'm home, which I don't get paid for but since I get paid for some things I probably shouldn't I figure it evens out. I also am taking four classes .. classes which are ( Read more... )

We went today to the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden, and I took a -ton-of pictures, and even a couple of videos - videos of course of the lion, for B. Sadly, my batteries wore out completely, so I ran out of picture time. But we had a blast .. and I even got pictures of us this time.

Some are still friends .. enozgirl I still adore, and cherish the fact that we're still friends even after she's known me all these years. sithicas still ( Read more... )

Lastnight I spent at Neely & Keith's, with Brandon and Micah and of course my darling Jason, for what had been deemed 'Luau Night'. Keith is a professional chef, and loves to cook, and we love to eat, so for all of us it's a beautiful relationship. Every so often we have a themed party, basically to give Keith somewhere to start with the menu. We ( Read more... )

The weather is threatening to interfere in the planned launch of the space shuttle, which is expected in just about 4 hours or so. I hope they're able to launch .. it's such a big deal for the USA, to be able to return to the stars, to the space program. I've been watching MSNBC .. which I never do ... occasionally, trying to keep up with the ( Read more... )
