i actually went outside today and didn't want to kill myself!! WIN! i can't believe i'm happy that it's 95 degrees, but everything's relative, i suppose. i just had a lovely coffee date with snottygrrl who has graciously agreed to let me escort her to coffee in another week. we talked about everything from nepotism in the workplace to SYTYCD and it was ( Read more... ) -

it is too hot to live. i actually taped tin foil over the windows this morning. tin foil. i thought people only did that in Alaska. also, i went to Target last night to try and get a kiddie pool for my poor dog who is having a year shaved off her life for every day we break 100-degrees. but when i asked the sales person if they had any, she ( Read more... ) -
Good God
It's hotter than Hades on a heating binge. Why can't PGE collect it and save it for winter when we need it? *SIGH* My house is like a thousand degrees and I can't get my dog to get in the damn car so we can go for an extended drive in the luscious air-conditioning. Grr. At least I had the foresight to put a comforter up over the sliding glass ( Read more... ) -
Forgot to add...
...that my partner M TOTALLY ROCKS!!! while i was at azkatraz, she and her parents overhauled our bathroom, replacing the faucets and towel bars with ones i've been wanting for ages. they also painted the bathroom as well as the guest room, and installed a beautiful new ceiling fan. :-DDD just goes to show i should go to HP cons more often. -
Back from Azkatraz!
And oh my awesome, what a trip. The best part hands down was getting to hang out with all the fabu fandom folks that novembersnow introduced me to. I can't even express how impressed I am by everyone I met, though I honestly shouldn't be surprised as November has impeccable taste and would only hang out with the creme de la creme.
I won't bore you all with ( Read more... ) -

thwarted
apparently, M has gotten it into her head that on our upcoming trip to WY we will be roughing it (or slumming it, as the case may be) by staying in a Super 8 motel in Boise along the way. i wanted to stay in a theme inn complete with jetted tubs and monster-sized tv's in every room. i guess she's more interested in cockroaches than romance.

procrastinating...
seems like it would be hard to procrastinate something when you're unemployed and not necessarily needing to do anything worth procrastinating, but there it is. old habits, ya know?
i'm supposed to be working on this business plan thing for my new freelance technical writing/editing business. it isn't hard, and i'm about half-way through it, but ( Read more... ) -
november's visit...
...was SO AWESOME. she is the best house guest EVAR. we had a ton of fun--going to wineries, meeting cool local fandom peeps, and eating LOTS of yummy treats. i got all choked up at the airport when she had to leave. :-( but it really was a fabulous time. it's been a while since i've had so much fun! and thanks a whole lot to

car breakage *le sigh*
looks like this is the week of ask-my-friendslist-for-advice posts. sorry for not posting something more interesting!
my partner's car just broke down on the side of the road today. the mechanic says the timing belt broke and her engine is an interference engine, which essentially means that to fix it would be about $1500. has anyone else had ( Read more... )
