I'm doing ditl today. How do people do this more than once? It's kind of a pain in the ass to remember to take pictures of my entire day. Also, the battery life for my new camera? Not very long. And then there's the likelihood that anon will rip my entry to shreds if I decide to post it. Charming ( Read more... )

So apparently I never update anymore, nor do I comment on anyone else's posts, and most of the time lately I'm ignoring the Internet altogether (apart from Facebook and email) in favor of reading a book or playing Words With Friends (I am officially addicted). Thus, an update ( Read more... )

Can I just say, that was the best, least stressful weekend I think I've had since before Olivia was born? WOW! What a difference a finished degree makes!

We didn't go to graduation on Thursday, but some of Leo's co-worker's had a ( Read more... )

Leo is being good and taking his meds, though, and spent literally the entire weekend in bed, so he's back at work this morning, and after a visit to the ( Read more... )

So here's a new item on the list of Things I Never Need to Eat Again: Amy's frozen veggie pot pie. Can I just say...ew! It was small, dry, and I will never, ever find tofu to be an acceptable meat substitute, I don't give a fuck how much you try to make it look like chicken ( Read more... )
