ETA: Funny coincidence- I originally posted this earlier today, ( Read more... )

I should be packing. We're getting up pretty early tomorrow to head out on our 10-hour drive. We don't have a specific time to leave...it's not like we have a ship to catch (unfortunately!), so we'll get there when we get there. I have a headache. I hope it's gone by the morning, but if not, I'll take some Excedrin. I love that stuff, but ( Read more... )

The workweek is almost over and then next week is a nice short week! Yay! I don't really have plans for the weekend, which is fine by me. I need to get some cleaning/de-cluttering done. Stuff is starting to get all piled-up and messy again. And I think I have to start letting go of some "big ticket" items like my old wedding dress, some ( Read more... )

As I've probably mentioned before, I work for a university, but not actually on campus. Our department is at a separate location, so I don't really have much interaction with the typical campus atmosphere/students/faculty, etc. But we aren't completely independent from the university, and (at least) once a day someone from our office has to drive ( Read more... )

I'll try to make this quick, since I skipped Curb to come upstairs and go to bed (we're recording it). Frank's downstairs cleaning up the kitchen. I was banned from the kitchen after starting to dump moldy applesauce down the sink ( Read more... )

Last night was the John Waters thing. It was a really fun evening. We started off at home by watching "Homer's Phobia" on DVD to get into the spirit. Then we drove uptown, stopped at Fuel for a slice of pizza and headed over to the theater. We were walking in and guess who was right there, walking in ahead of us- John Waters! I ran to catch up ( Read more... )

It was this time of year seven years ago that I moved to Charlotte. I was reminded of this because the Southern Women's Show was this past weekend, and that was one of the very first things I did when I got here. Mike & I were staying in a furnished condo owned by his employer until our furniture & everything arrived (a few days late, but that's ( Read more... )

John Waters is coming to town for a one-night appearance. I guess he'll be talking about his movies and life and stuff, but I'm sure it will be interesting, so I bought tickets. The funny thing is, it's being held in the same theater where Frank & I saw MacHomer on our first date, which was November 4, 2006. John Waters is November 1, 2007, so ( Read more... )

Hurricane Dean is heading for Grand Cayman, home of the friendly sting rays. It's also supposed to hit some of the other places I've been this year, including Cozumel, which still hasn't completely re-built after Wilma in 2005. Some jerk over on Cruise Critic was complaining that his cruise this week was re-routed from the Western Caribbean (i.e ( Read more... )
