Happy New Year, my friends! It is making me feel spectacularly old to know that 1994 was 20 years ago now, and that I'll turn 30 this year. Actually, I'm not really freaked out about turning 30; I just have a hard time believing that the years have gone by so quickly! I'm looking forward to doing something really fun for my birthday this year, ( Read more... )

First, I'd like to make the obligatory comment on the wonderfulness of technology by telling you that I'm typing this on a bus. A bus that not only has outlets for me to plug my laptop in, but also has free wifi. Thanks, Greyhound! Currently I'm somewhere in the District of Columbia, where we will be stopping before continuing on to Richmond and ( Read more... )

This week, you guys. I want to say there aren't even words, but clearly there are as I'm about to type a whole bunch of them. I told you on Monday that I just knew it was going to be that kind of week, and hoo boy, was I right. There were definitely positives too, but overall, by the time we reached today, I had thoroughly depleted my supply of ( Read more... )

This morning, I managed to get three quarters of the way to one of my schools before realizing that I never actually went back to the office last week to get the files I needed for this school. So I fought my way through traffic, slushy streets and unplowed parking lots to get to my office and get my files, only to finally make it to my school and ( Read more... )

You guys remember, a few months ago, how I was complaining about that 51 day cycle I had, and how that was soooooooo long and atrocious? Well, I managed to far surpass that and set myself a new record for stupidly long cycles that don't result in pregnancy. You ready for this number? You're not, really, there is no way to be prepared for this level ( Read more... )

I thought I'd post the answers to that stalker quiz I posted last week, so you can all see what you got right or wrong, and maybe learn something new about me.

( Here goes! )

I was going through old entries, because I do that sometimes, and I found this series of questions to see how well you guys know/have stalked me. So, let's see what you know! :D (You know, if you feel like doing it.)

Well, two weeks after the fact, it is high past time that I posted about my cottage weekend! It was fantastic, which is no less than I expected. Friday the 1st I picked up Lynn, Ilana and Gabe, and after a brief stop at Metro to pick up discounted Halloween candy, we were on our way. Even with that stop and a stop for lunch, the trip only took ( Read more... )

Yes, I am sure you would all like a real entry from me, and I promise I will write one. Soon, even! I'm slowly working my way through your entries, and I may even make it into ones written in November tonight! :p Highlights of the entry-to-come: cottage weekend (it was amazing!), cardigan pictures (because I finished it today!), annnnnnd . . .

It's not you guys, it's me. I just don't internet anymore, apparently. Or only in very limited bits when I do. Yesterday I gave up and marked roughly 200 items in my old reader as read, just because I knew I'd never get around to actually reading them/having to try to read them would make me feel a bit panicky. I had to skip 120 entries to find the ( Read more... )
