catching up

November 24, 2005

"A bunch of things I’ve wanted to post about in the past few days, but I just never got around to it! 1. Our kitties broke their litter box. I suppose it’s the human equivalent of clogging the toilet, except in this case, a plunger won’t do the trick. The motor is burned out and won’t [...]"

"+ playing my video game all night on Friday + sleeping in until 9:45 on Saturday morning - having to do some work Saturday morning + getting that work done in a few hours and not having any more for the whole weekend! - tearing out tile in the bathroom and discovering giant holes in the wall behind it + [...]"

come sail away

"Vacation planning is hard. Seriously! I never thought it could be so stressful, but it is. You see, I want this year’s vacation to KICK ASS. This is it- probably our last chance to take THAT TRIP- the big one, before we have kids and can’t do it for a while. We never had a [...]"

friday forum

"A Thanksgiving Friday Forum! 1. What do plan to do for Thanksgiving? (Are you cooking? Staying at home? Going to visit family?) We’ll be going to Dan’s grandma’s to spend time with his family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) and then stopping at my parents’ house for ANOTHER dinner with just my immediate family (plus [...]"

not really a point

"So I think I might be starting to feel a little more like myself again. I am coughing like crazy (and coughing up stuff that is just SCARY, I will say) but I can breathe and my voice only sounds mildly like Satan. Improvement, yes? We’re going out to lunch today for a girl’s birthday here [...]"

November 16, 2005

"In the past 48 hours, I have consumed about 50 cough drops. Seriously. I think my teeth may rot out of my head! I also have no voice today. So answering the phone at work was fun. Yesterday I got my new shower and tub. I’m in love. It’s gorgeous. I only wish I had the energy [...]"

"I’m trying to get Dan to go grocery shopping for me after work tonight. I dragged myself in today, and I am so crappy feeling now, I can’t even THINK about going to the store. All I want to do is go home and in bed. But we need food BAD in our house, so [...]"

"So here it is- my very first, all-CSS, table-less design. It validates XHTML 1.0 Strict, too (I can’t even tell you how long THAT took!) At least the front page does… I still have some editing to do in the archives to get those entries right. This is what happens when you’re confined to the couch [...]"

here I am, surrounded by kleenex

"Sniffles, body aches, a pounding head, nagging cough.. not my idea of a good weekend. Blah. I am so freaking BORED. I spent all of yesterday on the couch, channel-surfing (there is NOTHING ON during the day… argh!), wishing I had the energy to do something while I was home (even though I was off sick, [...]"

vows and promises

November 10, 2005

"I came home from work, swearing that I was taking the night off. My throat is sore, my head is aching, and I’m starting to feel the ‘S’-word (we don’t like that word.) So I thought, lay on the couch, watch Survivor, go to bed early. Then a client called me.. 3 times. Then I just [...]"

"- Paying Dan’s last grad school tuition bill. EVER. (now if we could just get those undergrad loans taken care of.) - When the wallpaper in the bathroom comes off in 1-foot sections (only happened a few times, but why is that so darn satisfying?) - Friday night at home, watching a movie, drinking some wine, relaxing [...]"

"I have just reached a new level of geekdom. After 2 days of bidding and losing and bidding again, I finally won an auction for this hard-to-find-in-stores XBox game. On EBay. It’s the first time I’ve ever used EBay for anything. Playing video games is my one outlet, the one thing I allow myself.. a guilty pleasure, [...]"

"Last night we were at the grocery store, walking through the frozen foods section. Some guy was pushing his cart in our direction, and he looked at us and said hello. I was confused, because I didn’t recognize him (he was obviously from India, and I don’t know many people from India so I think [...]"
