Today I'm doing some cleaning in anticipation of hosting Thanksgiving dinner for Jen and Chris on Thursday and I'm listening to my Carman greatest hits CDs that I haven't listened to in YEARS.  I grew up on his music and there is something rather fabulous about blasting music to which you know EVERY SINGLE lyric and can still remember some of the ( Read more... )

And now the water is off??!!  I'm not sure what that has to do with fixing the furnace but, apparently, they are related!

omg.  I got home from work about an hour ago to an ice cold apartment.  Current temp inside = 62.  Current temp outside = 47 and falling.  All heater vents are ice cold.  My thermostat is set at 72.  freakin' A.  So, I called the after-hours maintenance line and talked to a robot (this woman SERIOUSLY sounded like either a robot or someone with a ( Read more... )

This has nothing to do with anything, but it's 5:37 a.m. and it just struck me that I should post that I'm watching Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman via Netflix.  I've never seen the show before and I LOVE it.  Or, more honestly, I LOVE Sully.  Truly, madly, deeply.  He is a real man.

Per mommy's request, here is Abbie's Garden Version 2.0!  It's a very long, skinny garden and runs along the south-west side of my ground-level apartment.

Also, a very Happy 33rd Anniversary to my dear parents today!

You know what's fabulous about coming home from night shift?  Aside from the whole not being at work anymore thing ( Read more... )

After 12 hours of sleep (oh, how I love to sleep!) I am feeling MUCH better.  My sore throat is gone, voice is back to normal, and I can finally TASTE things again!  Yay!  My ears are still popping a bit and things are, ah, draining nicely, but I have much more energy to do stuff today.  Like...clean my apartment.  yeah...  Nothing makes you notice ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the get-well wishes (orders?  hee!), everyone!  I'm not sure if it's my steady diet of 650 mg of Tylenol every four hours or the ridiculous amounts of stew and soup I've consumed over the past 24 hours, but I think I'm starting to feel better.  I made bacalao for dinner last night and chicken noodle soup (well, no noodles so I used ( Read more... )
