We had a productive weekend! Yesterday was gorgeous weather ... in the sixties and bright blue skies. Jason and I got up and rode our bikes to Portland Nursery (where we bought asparagus crowns), the library to drop off some books, Freddie's for plastic bag recycling drop off, and to lunch at McMenamin's on Hawthorne. Then we came home and got ( Read more... )

I really haven't felt like posting. I guess coming home to Jason in the evenings is more of an outlet than I've had previously, so maybe I need it less? Or maybe it's just having less private time to write. Either way, I haven't had a ton of stuff to say ( Read more... )

I started plugging stuff in TurboTax to check it, since I got my W-2s. Weirdly, I am getting almost as much back from Oregon as from the Feds, which *never* happens. I can't really figure out what the difference is. I mean, it'd be sweet if I really got that much, but it doesn't seem possible. I think there must be a mistake. I might go ahead ( Read more... )

I have the day off today, and I'm trying to be as productive as possible. I have done some cleaning and planning, and I need to head out to the mall next. I have gift cards to burn! I also need to pick up some ingredients to bake cookies for this weekend.

Not a whole hell of a lot to say, really.

Week one of living with Jason has been pretty good, we haven't really fought and things are comfortable :) So that's a relief, not that I don't expect any issues in the future. The company is very nice--my cats think so too--and I am starting to sleep better. The first few days were a little rough with the sleeping ( Read more... )

I'm totally fantasizing about my (theoretical) tax refund right now. I always get SO IMPATIENT to get my tax forms back so I can file and get my money. Now now now!! I know I won't even probably have all the information I need until at least Feb 1st. *sigh* I am thinking I will get a similar refund to last year because I'm still paying tons of ( Read more... )

I'm feeling mostly better now. Work hasn't been too terrible ... coming back on the weekend was a good way to ease into it again after my time off ( Read more... )

This cold is really sucking the joy out of my life. My sinuses are horrible ... it's like someone has been punching me in the face repeatedly ... and the pain radiates down to my teeth as well. And I can't believe how much junk is coming out of my nose. TMI, sorry ( Read more... )

I woke up sick .... Boo! I hope it isn't a bad omen for the entire decade ( Read more... )
