At long last, here are the few meagre gift ideas.. You guys can duke it out over who gets me what and feel free to branch out ( Read more... )

It’s been weeks that I’ve been fighting the urge to listen to Christmas music. Yeah, yeah, I know we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet. And my usual feeling is to wait until afterwards to start it up.. The problem is that I like to have my Christmas shopping done before December and the psychotic Christian crowds start to pummel each other over the ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself that I’m going to start updating more often, but for some reason, it doesn’t happen. Maybe I’m busy. Maybe I’m busy watching mostly useless television. But how can I say that when so many GREAT shows are on these days? Shows that are so inspirational to me, that I want to get up and go do something (sing? dance?) but if I do, ( Read more... )

Today was the perfect fall day so I decided that instead of sitting on my ass all day eating and watching tv, I would go out and get some things done that I’ve been meaning to do. I drove out to Stone to get some local honey at Mag’s when I thought that I could use some solace in the familiar scents, sounds, and friendly faces (or face as it were) ( Read more... )

Most people consider where I live to be.. In the middle of nowhere. As we know, this is a relative term (it’s not exactly Kansas and could therefore always be worse). In their little world that consists of wildlife that will stand on your foot begging for a peanut, I might as well ( Read more... )

For whatever reason, the other night I simply could not sleep. Why, you may ask? I had this sudden wave of panic strike me on the topic of centerpieces. You know for my wedding reception that we still havent really chosen a venue for. Centerpieces really should be rather low on the "need to think about" list.. though I noticed that it isnt on my ( Read more... )

That's a damn long time. Synapsis of a few things since then: I moved way too much and am now in my own (but rented) place in West Virginia with my man, we've finally set a date to get married after what Margaret calls "the world's longest engagement", we're trying to buy a house, and.. I've got a million fur kids now accumulating to two rabbits, ( Read more... )

All the doctors went to a conference most of this week, forcing vacation on the rest of us. Since John’s family decided not to go to the beach this year, it wasn’t much of a loss in the vacation hours. I’d been terribly afraid that I’d be bored out of my mind, so I made my room into a sort of.. beach getaway. This essentially means that I put beach ( Read more... )

For those of you who do not know already, I’ve moved to a cozy little apartment where have seen fit to cram all types of plants into my lovely large double windows. This jungle has now taken over a deal of space in my room and no jungle would be complete without a small army of fruit flies. Enough of them to defend a small country. All over the ( Read more... )

For the past three days, I’ve been in a constant banter with Antech, the lab our vet practice uses to send out for certain tests. They have, no kidding, screwed up at least three perfectly coherent tests in the last three days. I had thought them to be idiot proof - I’d even highlighted multiple tests and wrote out which ones were to be done on ( Read more... )
