First, and most importantly, I just completely spontaneously planned a 48-hour trip to Chicago. In TWO WEEKS.

lillaura lives there, of course, and things have been kind of not-so-good with us recently (looooooooooong story). We weren't really talking for a while, but we've been gingerly talking a bit lately, and today while on Googlechat, she mentioned ( Read more... )

But I shouldn't bitch, since I haven't been doing most of it. Here, take a gander. ( Reminder of before.)

1. I am broken! For the first time in my 28 years, I have broken something. It is tragic ( Read more... )

I walk back and forth, taking loads of crap out to the garage, while Alex tackles some particularly stubborn stumps in the yard. Three little boys, about eight, jump on the trampoline next door ( Read more... )

I've been sick all week, which is tragic, and today is going to be a loooooooong day.

I am home all alone and I am super sad about it.

We told Alex's parents that we'd housesit this weekend. I was already not psyched about it - they live half an hour away, I never sleep very well, and they have animals, to which I am allergic, and I really just wanted to be home and in my regular life ( Read more... )

- I am fairly certain that my husband is going to divorce me due to the piles and piles of dishes in the sink. I haven't done them since last week and it is getting ridiculous. He's done a few here and there, but I really need to get on it.

- We have a new showerhead and it is glorious. lillaura can personally attest to the fact that our old one was ( Read more... )
