I've been going on a clothes shopping spree lately. I recently got a raise at work and while that had everything to do with my abilities and not my appearance, I feel like dressing up a bit more often. Ya know? When I worked at the law firm, I had to dress a certain way. At the shelter, I can dress more casually which is very nice. But being ( Read more... )

How in the world has it been so long since I blogged? Mios dios ( Read more... )

I can't remember if I posted about this or not. I think this started a couple of months ago. I developed a resistance to tap water. Normally, I could drink it exclusively and plenty of it. It started with the fact that I couldn't stomach drinking water first thing in the morning. I would feel like vomiting from the taste. Bizarre. I tried ( Read more... )

Our neighbours behind us are very much "this is my property line and this is your property line - don't cross!". I'm like that to a certain degree, but I don't pull the branches off the bushes peeking through the fence onto our property from the neighbours beside us. It's more foliage and I'm quite happy to have all the greenery in the ( Read more... )

Well, an evening below zero means I'm not scooting tomorrow morning even though it'll be like +16 by the afternoon. Ah well. We had such a beautiful summer. Maybe I can get a couple more weeks of scooting/bicycling weather yet. I covered up the tomatoes, but I probably shouldn't do that much longer.

I miss summer already! My scoot ride this morning was unbelievably cold to the point I thought I was going to throw up then to where I thought I was literally near fainting (luckily, I was close to work at that point). GAH! Maybe biking wouldn't be so bad because then you're generating body heat...but my tire isn't fixed yet. The car would be ( Read more... )

So, I started writing this blog with a rant about wedding socials and deleted it. What's the point of posting a rant like that? So I feel better momentarily? Pish-posh, Holly. Let's working on turning around complaining and be more understanding and/or compassionate to people ( Read more... )

Oh, Holly-days. How I wish you would never end ( Read more... )

I'm on Holly-days this week! :D ( Read more... )

My parents came to the city today and Dad looked at my car. He figured the thermostat is part of the problem, some blockage with the coolant is the other problem, and he took it for a drive without overheating. Sweet. Mom suggested they take the car for a further drive to see if it overheated. I warned them that the distance they were planning ( Read more... )
