"Mr. Jones" came on my iPod as I was walking back from lunch with Clark Kent.  I wanted to start dancing down the sidewalk, but I just enjoyed a pep in my step.  I was transported back to the 9th grade when I thought I was the only 9th grade kid who knew Bob Dylan.  I wore black tights, a pink ballerina skirt I scored from Pier 1 on sale, and my ( Read more... )

It snowed last night!  This is what the area around Whiteknights Lake looked like this morning as I walked Clark Kent to work:

Clark Kent accompanied me half way on my journey back to the room once lunch was over.  He needed to get some books from the library.  The temperature has taken a dip since this morning:

Clark Kent:  I don't know how I'll manage to walk home in this cold this evening.  I wish I could teleport.
Me: Ahhh, so you could be like Captain Picard?
Clark Kent: ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a fantastic day.  It started off great because we got to gain an hour since we fell back already.  So, we woke up around our normal time, but had an extra hour to sit in our respective high-backed, comfy blue chairs (Clark Kent swiped one from the upstairs kitchen which NO ONE used to match the one that was already in our living room ( Read more... )

If we lived in the states, I'd be in the midst of decking our halls.  For the last two years, I'm pretty sure I was ready for Christmas before trick-or-treaters came 'round.  Last Christmas, Clark Kent and I were so excited to go to Target for after Christmas sales.  We were both looking forward to spending our first Christmas together as a married ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in the high back, comfy armchair in our living room and listening to a podcast that's interviewing a stylist for Anthropologie.  She's so down to earth and just confessed that she can't afford the beautiful clothes either.  I wonder who buys the $298 summer dresses and the $398 pea coats.  She is currently describing how she built huge ( Read more... )

Breakfast was nearly perfect this morning.  It was nearly perfect because my scone had a few too many raisins.   I managed to pick 17 plump raisins out.  I lined them up on the Winnie the Pooh plate in two neat rows.  We got these scones from the Asda bakery.  We also got a box of Twinings Fresh and Fruity teas.  I am enjoying a cup of blackcurrent ( Read more... )

 ...and it's still funny to hear Clark Kent refer to me as his wife.

 I ate an entire jar of Glen Apple Raspberry jam in one week.  We ate an entire jar (it was a small jar, mind you) of mayonaise in one week.  We consu med two loaves of bread in one week.  There is only one more Mr. Kipling's apple pie (we had two boxes).  Do you know what this means?  WE'RE GOING TO ASDA TODAY (that's Walmart here)!!!!!!  Not only ( Read more... )

Today is Clark Kent's first day of work.  I walked him in, took some pictures, and will be back to bring him his pork shoulder sandwich for lunch this afternoon.  In the meantime, I must fill 4 hours with no books (I didn't bring any books) and no tv.  So, here I am on the internet and amused that even google is different in the UK.  Today Google ( Read more... )
