Plain and simple, this has been a most uneventful week. It's even had the decency to be uneventful in a good way (in other words, it's been pleasant, not boring).

Nicole called Monday to see if she could spend the night on Tuesday. Now that she's in the vet tech program at MSU she's  living at her dad's in East Lansing. Her internship is here in ( Read more... )

I am having the hardest time getting this update started.

Really, I don't find it boring. The garden is pretty much all I talk about these days. Not everyone is so fascinated, though. Hence the cut.

• Spending much of the day in the garden has quickly become my Friday routine. I putter around for three or four hours planting, weeding, aerating, ( Read more... )

Wow. It's been a full week, and a good one---mostly, anyways.

We put a lovely end on the first day of the week by grabbing a bucket of chicken and a couple beers and heading out for a easy picnic supper at Kensington. Because of road construction in the park we ended up in yet another picnic area that was new to us. It was either the east boat ( Read more... )

I've just been adding bullety bits and pieces over the past week or so. I present them now for your perusal, without so much as a cursory edit on my part. I'll fix stuff, and clear stuff up later. I'm just too beat at the moment.

Well, it turns out there may be a better chance of turning out the Friday Fluff & Fold Report ( Read more... )

The Friday Fluff & Fold Report is moving. Only it's not moving to a new stationary day. It's just going to keep moving. Period. Thursday this week. Maybe it will be Friday next week. In other words, I will try to crank one out as I can make time. So let's not waste any of that precious time. To the bullets!

• Paul and I are now the proud stewards of ( Read more... )

It seems like it's been weeks since I was last able to crank out a decent weekly bulleted update---or any kind of update, really. I keep waiting for the increased sunlight of spring to bust loose the dam of malaise and ennui  and get my inner river flowing again. Oh crap. Did you read that load? Let's just get on with the bullets before I get even ( Read more... )

Kewl! Count me in! Sunday Sacred Sex Day sounds even more intriguing.

Friday or not, I've been collecting this past week's bullet points. I present them now for your consideration:

• 
  I've always heard it said that your tastes (as in tastebuds) change every several years. I honestly believe this is so, which is why I'm devastated every time I taste ( Read more... )

(or Way Early Edition) While I now have a computer that can travel with me, who knows if there are too many opportunities for a connection in the wilds of Upnorth so I'll pop out a short FFF now. To Teh Bullets:

• I adore my boss. I may yet wring his neck. Patience is not his long suit, and it has caused me several instances of my own patience wearing ( Read more... )

Oops! Forgot a couple.

• I got a raise, and quite a good one! My boss, in his usual manner, quietly changed me hourly rate this past week.
• Good thing he did. The van spent Monday in the shop for $500 worth of front end work and brakes. Does it ever end?
• Wondering what it is about me that draws certain types of people to me, those people that others find ( Read more... )

Wow! It's proving to not be as easy as I would have imagined  to get back into the habit of posting. I'm going to take a short break in a busy day to do a bit of an update.

• My "to do" list for today is extra long as we're headed downtown tomorrow to spend the day at the DIA, so today's list includes many of tomorrow's tasks. One of the delightful ( Read more... )
