I gotta say... this is eerily accurate.

I was going to post this ages ago and would like to post a link for those of you who did know my great-grandmother.  I have a paper copy of her obituary, but it is still up online at the Laconia Citizen here for those who would like to see it.  The picture used was one from years ago when she took a vacation to Hawai'i with my Aunt Pat.  She was a ( Read more... )

Bah!  I am about 15 minutes late in posting.  I could always backdate the entry to make it appear as though I am posting on the 25th instead of the 26th, but... I am not that motivated at the moment.  I have not yet gone to bed, so although this post may say it is technically the 26th, I am still running on Friday time; if that makes any sense ( Read more... )

So, a largely overdue posting from me.  Life took me and swept me away for a while and I found myself busy with so many things that I have long neglected this journal; something I need to rectify.  I've had ups and downs over the last few months, as one might expect, but things have been mostly okay.  It didn't help that my computer recently ( Read more... )

I was going to take today to do some much needed updating on the status of home and life lately, but unfortunately my mind just isn't in it at this particular moment.  My great-grandmother died this morning.  Trev and I are working out details on how to get out to New Hampshire and how much it is going to cost us, etc.  It'll be a long trip there ( Read more... )

Okay, I got a nudge from Anne (sorry!) because I have lagged in posting yet again.  Life's been a little crazy around here.  I will explain more later, but first, I must share!  I received the following e-mail from our lawyer's assistant this morning and I have to say, this is the best day!

Hi Jennifer!

We got your Open Work Permit! HOORAY!  CIC has ( Read more... )

Well, this last week has been a little bit of everything, really.  I had two packages arrive from Anne, which I was very excited to get.  I think I'm going to sit down over the next few nights and finally finish my letter to her.  Her birthday is coming up in less than a month and I'm hoping I will be able to send something out her way, though if ( Read more... )

Well, life has been hectic to say the least.  I've been stressed, not sleeping on any kind of discernible schedule as I've been flip flopping between a normal day schedule (like I'm on today) and a graveyard schedule.  It's really very difficult and dealing with all the issues surrounding Trev's cousin, Jess and her son and ex taking off with him ( Read more... )

Well, Trev and I had a great weekend.  We went to Ted's birthday party over at he and Shawntell's place on Saturday and had an awesome time.  I sipped on Trev's drinks most of the night and got to sing Karaoke.  I must remember though: don't drink alcohol if I plan on singing anything seriously.  I always end up sounding so much worse, I think.  ( Read more... )

So, my past attempts at exercising have not been very fruitful as my ankle keeps bothering me more and more to the point that I simply cannot keep up with the workouts.  I have acquired a couple DVDs with Yoga and Pilates in the hopes that although they are not high impact workouts, they will still help me on the course to losing weight and being ( Read more... )
