I left work yesterday feeling like crap and then went home, wrapped myself up in a blanket and curled up in a ball on the couch. I generally remained that way until Wes got home from class. Luckily, I had been smart in the morning and put together a slow cooker thing so that I wouldn't have to do any actual cooking when I got home. I was so ( Read more... )

This weekend was a whirlwind of various things. I decided that Friday night would be when Wes and I would celebrate his birthday, since we would be going to his Mom's on Saturday and then we were having a bunch of friends over on Sunday. He requested that I make ribs for dinner and I lucked out with the first link I clicked on Google. As it ( Read more... )

Hello, Livejournal! It's been awhile.

Life has been busy and good lately and should remain as such for 2009. One of my various resolute ideas is to make more time for myself to hang out at home...so far, I'm not particularly living up to this, but I think I will figure it out eventually.

As we approach the end of another year, I am, of course, finding myself thinking of how to make 2009 the best possible year. Everyone does this, every year and I, like most people, never seem to find the actual motivation to stick to any of the bright ideas I have ( Read more... )

Yesterday I woke up at around 10am and breathed a wonderful sigh of relief realizing that both the holidays and Peter's bachelor party went off wonderfully and that I don't have to think about them anymore ( Read more... )

As was completely expected, I procrastinated again in my holiday crafts and will therefore be burning more midnight oil tonight to get things done for both family Christmas extravaganzas. Tonight, is also when Wes and I exchange gifts and go out to a nice dinner...and by nice I mean Outback, because nothing says classy like a slab of meat handed ( Read more... )

Everyday I wake up and say to myself, "Self, you WILL be productive today." I try, but it is very hard to prioritize things right now. Usually there is something that is clearly not as important as everything else, but right now every single thing that my brain decides to think about moves to the top of the priority list ( Read more... )

The update is that I'm really, really busy and won't have any real time for extra-extra curricular things until after Peter gets hitched. That's what it feels like ( Read more... )

At some point, I managed to convince myself that I had disposable income...and while I suppose it is somewhat true, the amount left over after each paycheck is really not anything to get excited about. And really, it seems silly to call it "disposable income" because in reality I should probably be giving it all to credit cards and savings because ( Read more... )
