We've been cleaning for a couple of days. My garbage and recycling cans are overflowing and it feels good ( Read more... )

Taxes are done and I'm getting a pretty good refund. I do have to pay the state. I had this last year. I could rectify some of this by having the withholding on one of the payouts of my Dad's inheritance checks but I'd still see a refund for at least as long as the boy is my dependent ( Read more... )

YEAH, it wasn't bad when I went home. The other librarian convinced me to go. I think he didn't realize that even though I live 30 miles from campus, I'm use to driving in all kinds of weather in my little car. I guess I was okay leaving anyways. I did take some work home. I also ran some errands on my way.

I'm glad I didn't have to go home during ( Read more... )

Last week I met up with mplsindygirl for dinner at The Vegetarian.    It was really very lovely. I know sometimes I don't always like to go out before or afterwork when the weather is as it is....it's the homebody in me, work and then go home. I had a really lovely time. The restaurant was great, not too busy but it should! The food was great and we shared our ( Read more... )

I'm going to try to do a quick post now that I'm back to work. I've got to get organized for the next semester.

Saturday was the annual gala that P and I have gone to for the last three years (minus the year when she was sick) it would have been four if she didn't get sick. The first year was just really wonderful. She wore a tux and was just so ( Read more... )

I had comp time to take off Friday. It was the annual camp trip where P and I met. We were part of a small group that went up a little early. I'm glad we did, it's always so hard to get us going. We arrived after 9pm.  P didn't feel great through out the weekend but could nap as she needed. I got lots of social time in, met some really great and ( Read more... )

Teh boy started school today. I can't believe he's a junior in high school. When I got home from work today we ran to Target to pick up some school supplies and etc. He's okay with Target tennis shoes so I won't complain. I did end up buying him this brown leather zippered planner (which he will take out the planner part and insert his school ( Read more... )

 Yikes, I can't believe it. My new job starts today. I think with Pride and everything happening, the time just got away from me. My cousin and sister worked on the cabin this last week, they got the drywall done. We also got the deadbolts working on the doors. I think steps have been made. My Dad's partner was out there too, she spoke of how it ( Read more... )

 normally I hate those things that get forwarded to people....I have a friend that does that all the time. I love her dearly, we've been friends close to 30 years but I'd rather have an email that is something other than a forward. She sent me this which I really like.
