( The story of 14C )

So we are starting our trip tonight, headed to Denver. Then tomorrow we'll head to Orlando along with my parents. I will be out of contact for most of the next week, but will be back with pictures and stories and presents. :) Hope you all have as good of a week as I plan to!

So I was playing around on MSN, and read this absolutely fascinating article that I've shared with a couple of you. It's about omega-3s and why they've disappeared from our diets, and why this is a bad thing. Basically, the author, Susan Allport, explains that omega-3s are spring fatty acids found in photosynthetic plants, and they help promote ( Read more... )

So Misty and I watched the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Award show last night, mostly because Neil Patrick Harris was hosting, partially because I love looking at all the pretty dresses. :) Here are the two things you can't miss from the broadcast.

So we're home and settled in from the surgery. Showed up there at 6:20 this morning, and I got to take him home about 11am. Dr. Nichols stopped by and told me the surgery went well, and showed me pictures of them blowing up Tim's sinuses. That's when most of you got texts ( Read more... )

Okay, so since I've been meaning to do this and I promised Misty I would, here's a rundown of the last week or so, with the addition of my LegoLAND gallery.

These are mostly to cheer Misty up, since I know she's had a hard week, but I hope everyone enjoys them! I haven't gotten any of her running yet (I swear she knows when the camera is on and stops) but hopefully these will suffice. :)

So we went to the SPCA yesterday and picked out a kitten. We got to pick her up today (she had to be spayed) and she is very active and very loving. She's also a purrbox. You can seriously hear her across the room, and she's only 2 lbs. We've named her Nala, which seems to fit because she loves to attack things, especially feathers.

So my old laptop decided to completely die today. While I was trying to pull the rest of the stuff off of it. Grrrrrr. Now it won't read from a CD, and it won't boot to a hard drive. Dumb thing ( Read more... )

My grandma died yesterday. It wasn't unexpected, as she was almost 90, and has had several heart issues and medical issues throughout her life. It's still hard, but I know she's not in pain anymore. The last few years I haven't seen her, since she didn't really remember who I was, and I preferred to remember her for who she was. The person I'm ( Read more... )
