You know, a long rambling post where I write about where I'm at and what I'm doing and all the other things I think friends should know about each other but all too often don't these days. I encourage you to do one of these posts, too! I miss knowing these things about my friends (Twitter and Facebook have added a lot of little detailed ( Read more... )

Gah. Husband just commented that I've been listening to things louder recently. And I noticed that I've been asking people to repeat themselves more. Maybe it's true that not being allowed to wear headphones at my current job location is having negative effects on my hearing.
