I have fixed the Vacuum Cleaner!!! This is very exciting for me, as our vacuum cleaner has been in disrepair for about 2 months now, leaving me to use the dustbuster whenever I clean the floor (for those of you who do not know, our apartment is totally carpeted). I feel so successful that I may even clean the rest of the apartment this afternoon ( Read more... )

Maine was wonderful. We spent most of Saturday kayaking in an estuary/marsh area and while doing so we saw a seal and a bald eagle. Denise and Patrick survived their first kayaking experience without tipping. No lobster (Michael's friend's lobster boat is in for repairs...) but I did have an excellent Baked Haddock sandwich and Nathan had a good ( Read more... )

Lately I've been having rather vivid dreams (not bad, just very detailed) and remembering them, which is something that doesn't happen often in my life. For example, last week I had this extremely strange and detailed dream of the store being robbed, I can still retell the details and last night I had this detailed dream of being back at Houghton ( ( Read more... )

Somehow I managed to time my walk to be just in between the storms this morning (it was sprinkling a little when I started then cleared up and as I got home the storms were moving in again). I am loving my new pedometer. It counts my steps, mph, total distance, calories burned, and time. It also has a seven-day memory. All in all a good investment ( Read more... )

I can''t wait to go to Staten Island this weekend, see my wonderful friends, and eat some Ralph's. I've been awaiting Ralph's all summer, the quote below could sum up my feelings toward Ralph's... (as a side note, I could never name my child Ralph)...

"As I approach Ralph's, I can see people dressed in their summer attire waiting in line between the ( Read more... )

There was a  fire going in the fireplace at Nate's aunt + uncle's on the 4th of July!  Not a campfire like there normally is, but a fireplace fire. It was like 60 degrees and rainy all afternoon!   Alas, it was a good day anyway and Nathan's chili was a big hit.    I had Thursday off too, and I got lots of stuff accomplished.  It was hard to have a ( Read more... )

On Thursday my Mom and I registered to walk a half-marathon (click on link to view details).  It’s in Bar Harbor and it’s in September on a Saturday. I am quite looking forward to it.  Somehow my Mom missed the fact that a marathon is 26 miles and said she’d rather do a half.  Unfortunately, the Mt. Desert Island ( Read more... )

What I did this weekend:
Friday- Worked then went to the summer kick-off party for Youth Group. It was too cold to swim but I met the cutest little baby mallard duck, played some bocce then sat by the fire. I love camp fires even sans s'mores.

Saturday- Slept in longer than Nathan (shocker, I know)! Then I went to work and after work I went to the ( Read more... )
