Made it up and out to the Y early this morning for the third day in a row! My cup so runneth over with awesome that it's creating quite a delightful mess... bad metaphor. Let's move on. The Y was virtually empty at 6:30 this morning when I arrived, so I decided to use that opportunity to try something new(ish). Instead of walking the treadmill, I ( Read more... )

Inaugural Voyage
Total unrelated sidenote to life here: One of my coworkers (from whom I was actually separated at birth, FYI) just loaned me Barack Obama's, Dreams From My Father. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into this. My coworker has also decided to travel to D.C. for the Inauguration! I'm so excited for her!! This actually makes me think ( Read more... )

I'm very excited about Election Day! My mom and I are getting together tonight to bake bread and watch the results come in on the news and later Comedy Central. I feel very positive about this election, and I wish people would get on the bandwagon with that. I think we're going to see record turnouts at the polls, and how can that be other than ( Read more... )

Ian has just summed up my current state of being: I am done side questing, I am done with this level, and I'm ready to level up!

Speaking of him getting a job, us moving wherever we're gonna move, moving out of an apartment and into a house, getting married and having a baby, that is.

I'm blogging this!

Pete's Visit
peepslayer came in for the weekend. We made it a point to take photos throughout the weekend, and I'll post some eventually, but probably not this week. Busy, ya know ( Read more... )

COKE FOR BREAKFAST, you saucy minx! Perhaps that is exactly what I needed to feel like a normal human again and shake this terrible lethargy that's dogged me all week... but perhaps it isn't really true that I could stop anytime I wanted to. I think I'm Coke's bitch ( Read more... )

Last night, I indulged in a slice of heaven with a 1 hour massage after work. I feel like a new woman! Good timing. The place where I went is very convenient to my office, so I think I'll be inclined to go more often since I don't have to fight traffic to get there on time ( Read more... )

Dinner With the Hobbits
Last night I spoke these words to Ian:

"Honey, it sure is a good thing I like you so much, otherwise I might drop you and marry this corn instead."

The corn we bought from Sprout's is quite possibly the best corn I have ever had in my life! Sweet! Flavorful! Perfect! I think the kernels might actually have been laced with ( Read more... )

Keeping Up With the Joneses
I'm reading a somewhat interesting nonfiction book found in my favorite section of the public library, the Finance section. It's sort of called, Green With Envy: How Keeping Up With the Joneses Is Keeping Us In Debt. I say "sort of" because Amazon.com lists the title as slightly different, and I wonder if it didn't ( Read more... )
