So, had a normal week and then a pretty normal weekend. I saw lots of movies this weekend--Saturday morning I went and saw "Jane Eyre" by myself. Then Saturday afternoon we saw "Your Highness" with drewmg and kelbellene and then went back to their place for fun and games. Sunday I went with my friend Libby to see "The Conspirator," which was good but really ( Read more... )

Things are still going well. I am making many lists and accomplishing many things. I am working out. I am taking the dog to the park. I am moving furniture and cleaning my house. I should have the entire upstairs clean by the end of the week. You guys, one of my New Year's resolutions last year was to have the entire house clean at the same ( Read more... )

You guys, I'm kind of worried that I'm addicted to FaceBook. The constant updated feed of information about people that I like is very easy to get used to. It's just so easy to share stuff on there, and not have to have a whole conversation or write a long blog--I can just click "like" on something and move on.

Also yesterday was my 8 year LJ anniversary. EIGHT YEARS ON LJ. Wow. Kind of crazy, you guys.

Whoops--I meant to post this closer to New Year's. Didn't see quite as many movies in 2010 as I did in 2009, but still a pretty respectable number.

We opened our lovely package from elyssa and stevieg--hooray! Now we are watching Sunshine ( Read more... )

It's time for some Christmas celebrating in our house! We're actually keeping it pretty low key this year, but I do have a few surprises in store for Rick--mostly food ones.

Thank you to dawna for the v-gift, to kelbellene, drewmg, and coffeechica for the lovely cards, to stevieg and elyssa for the package (that we will open on Christmas), and I'm assuming to my secret bunny for the Amazon ( Read more... )

Today I did some Christmas shopping and it got me in a more Christmas-y mood. I tried to tune into the radio station that's playing holiday music, but that got old pretty quickly. Also, OMG apparently the recession is fucking over in Iowa because there were about a billion people out shopping. I much preferred last year when the stores were ( Read more... )

Some reasons my birthday (has already been / was) awesome:

-Birthday v-gift from coffeechica. Hooray!
-First ever bagel with lox (salmon, cream cheese, capers, onions, cucumber) for breakfast in a beautiful coffee shop with stunning art.
-We finally got to use one of the magic washcloths that we got at elyssa and stevieg's wedding. MAGIC WASHCLOTHS HOW DO THEY WORK ( Read more... )
