Odd weekend
It's been a pretty stressful weekend, and it's only Saturday night. A couple of odd things happened. We've only been in our new townhouse for three weeks. A couple of weeks ago, we had a new fence put in. Last night, our next door neighbor started harassing us and told us we needed to pay him half of what he originally paid for his fence.

The Future
Have the move in a few weeks and although immersed in the madness, I've come up for air and have begun to realize that now that we have the house, the ceremony and babies are just around the corner. Well, it'll be one year until the ceremony and hopefully a few years until kids. I used to think I was full-on ready for them (kids) but now I'm ( Read more... ) -

good day
I just found out this morning that I won the award for the top graduate student in my program. Apparantly faculty nominate the winners and I received the highest number of votes...

P.S.
Oh- and the 20th Century Literature Conference was amazing. I loved Louisville and we stayed at the Sealbach Hilton which is apparantly haunted... really...we took the tour. The other grad students that I went with on the trip were so nice....very cool people -
Ponds and Geese
Things are busy- I've never experienced this kind of business before, but it's becoming routine. The job is not bad...the freelance stuff is getting to me though because my weekends are bogged down by editing and I never feel like I have time to just "be." Last night I went to a poetry/fiction reading called "Gist Street" that happens once a month ( Read more... ) -
pittsburgh steeler time!
Pittsburgh Steelers- Superbowl Champions! It has been an interesting playoff journey and a crazy game to end it all. Neither teams played very strongly, but somehow in the end, we came out on top. We deserved it after the grueling playoff games.... esp after our victory over the Colts. Sorry Indy fans...(note: Indy is my 2nd favorite team). In ( Read more... )
