Big stuff I got ( Read more... )

The first is actually from work. Last Tuesday I was at work and didn't really want to be there. I was working on the fleece wall, recolorizing it (re-ordering the colors as we got a new order. It used to be hot pink through brights through neutrals through pastels to light pink; now it's following the rainbow, and makes much more sense and is ( Read more... )

Last night I had a bad night, and he'd planned to sit in bed with me and draw out a diagram of how we might rearrange the living room to fit a new bookcase we got as a wedding present. We cuddled then fell asleep ( Read more... )

The vacation/honeymoon was fantastic. We started the week in Tampa, where we stayed the night on Sunday. We went out with Nathan's cousin (who was terribly excited to have family that wasn't her parents in town, so I wasn't upset about spending a couple of hours with her on our honeymoon :P ) to a really good Spanish restaurant.

I folded clothes; Nathan sent some emails he needed to send and finished packing. We got a call from the mechanic: one of the bolts that holds the motor mount to the engine block (we had it in to fix the motor ( Read more... )

"I had 5 or 6 illegitimate children," he said when I was trying to get him out of bed for breakfast.

Apparently, I'd been talking about baling wire and his illegitimate children.

Nathan stayed home from work today. He's sick. I fed him chicken noodle soup and orange juice and chili ( Read more... )

Today was day 5 of 8 days working in a row. Since the first three days were last week, and the last 5 were this week, it was allowed. But it sucks. I'm tired, I'm sore, my shoulder is killing me and will continue killing me till I can rest it for about a month. Which can't happen thanks to those bills I keep complaining about ( Read more... )
