#Reverb10: Prompt 11, the blog-along
Today, MathNerd314, Sunflowerakb, and I will all weigh in on the #Reverb10 prompt mathnerd314 mentioned last week:
What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011?
How will you go about eliminating them?
How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?
We've agreed to update on our progress at the end of each month in 2011.

In which ChemGal spends a lot of time doing possibly-close-to-actuality calculations
I've written on other occasions about my tendency to read the fine print/tax codes/insurance rules/etc or "do the math" on an unusual bill. My tendency to believe that large companies are out to yank me around (because "Who reads the rules, anyway?" and "Who adds up charges to make sure they make sense?") accounts for part of this. I love numbers ( Read more... ) -
Any day now, She thinks. (She hopes!)
mathnerd314 and I have known for 15 years now that, more often than not, we are living the same life. It rarely comes as a surprise to either of us when we're on similar wavelengths or in similar situations.

More food! Comm Night, Take 2
As it turned out, ChemGuy and I didn't have to wait long to have another excuse to experience Community Night. We knew that this is the kind of experience his mom would eat up. Figuratively and literally. We knew his dad would be fine with the trip, even though he's not quite as socially boisterous as ChemGuy's mom. We made reservations for the ( Read more... ) -
Did you notice I only talked about the food in that last entry?
The previous entry didn't tell you the whole story. Was the food at we enjoyed at Community Night enjoyable? Oh yes, absolutely! But there was so much more to that meal...the "community" part needs an entire entry of its own ( Read more... ) -
This entry is long, long, long overdue.

Feels like home to me
Our flight back to the west coast wasn't until late afternoon, so ChemGuy and I were able to enjoy a bit more Boston time before heading to the airport. Recall that Boston was one of the two parties engaged in a heated sports battle at the time. Boston fans love their teams; a number of vendors were selling shirts and hats on the street. ChemGuy ( Read more... ) -
The end is near.
Our trip began to wind down on June 9. After breakfast, we packed up the car and said goodbye to Bar Harbor. We drove south out of Maine, through part of New Hampshire, and back into Massachusetts. We listened to our wedding CDs on the drive, thrilled that they'd turned out so well. As we passed signs along the highway warning of moose, we ( Read more... )
