I've been a little scarce around here lately; I went back to school.  I'm actually very excited about that, but it does take up my time!  Anyway I was more than a little nervous about going back after all these years (I graduated from college in 1994) but it really has been going well.  I'm re-taking several of my science classes because policy is ( Read more... )

Snagged from several people on my flist:

Go to the closest book to you. Turn to page 206. The first sentence explains your love life."

Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.The book closest to me is my Bible. This is Numbers 15:22 in the New International Version.  I'm deeply ( Read more... )

 Greeting from the North Pole.  At at least it feels that way; it was -13f/ -25c when I got up this morning.  That's without the windchill, which was -28f/-33c.  I think today's high is supposed to be right around Zero.  We officially have a "windchill" advisory.  Exposed skin will literally freeze ( Read more... )

 I know I'm putting this off until the last minute here, but I'm sending out Christmas cards this year.  Just like a Real Adult!  I have some of your addresses, but not all ( Read more... )

Any good suggestions from you cat people (I've always been more of a dog owner; this is my first kitten as a grown up) on keeping Drusilla out of the Christmas tree? She does know she shouldn't mess with it, but she's drawn to the shiny!

She's also taken up playing the piano.  At 3 am.  Madre-san was, shall we say, less than thrilled.

I can't believe how bad I've been at LJ lately. Gah ( Read more... )

I'm still around, honest! I've just been sick a bunch. Bleh!

My heart thing is getting to be No Fun at all. The cardiologist thinks I do have Wolf Parkinson White syndrome. I'm scheduled to have an ablation September 8th. I'm actually looking forward to it! The medicine that keeps the crazy high heart rate mostly in check makes me feel awful. And ( Read more... )

Man, I'm really not having a great morning. I got like no sleep last night, and I just realized I totally forgot to put the recycling out. I realized it when I heard the truck pulling out of my driveway 5 minutes ago. This wouldn't be a big deal except I forgot last time too. And they only collect every other week ( Read more... )

 My upstairs neighbor (I have the bottom half of the two story building) is having a party today.  A work barbeque.  I really shouldn't complain-- I rarely hear her, and it is saturday afternoon-- but it's getting increasingly louder as the afternoon progresses.  I don't really mind the loud 80s music.  It's certainly better than the neighbor who ( Read more... )
