Well, I got a surprising gift for Christmas - a new computer!

To make a long story longer, I've had computer woes for a really long time. When I first moved in with Mike, for our first Christmas one of his gifts for me was getting my computer fixed. I can't remember why I couldn't use it, but I think it had something to do with the battery.

I got a new job for the holidays. It's at Big Lots - another cashiering position. I wasn't really looking for the job. I think I'd applied there before, but hadn't recently. But Greg and Jean were there one night and, apparently, Greg and one of the managers got to talking and he mentioned I was looking for work. When he got home he gave me an ( Read more... )

No one but their parents were invited to the actual ceremony, which took place at a courthouse on Halloween, but everyone was invited to a reception/party the next day. Mike's mom Jean could not stop harping on how weird she found it that they were getting married on ( Read more... )

Sorry for not updating for so long. It's weird because a lot of times I don't update because there's nothing much going on to talk about. But lately there has been stuff I've wanted to talk about but I've been so busy with wedding planning, going out of town, computer issues, and working on a thousand different fest submissions, I haven't had time ( Read more... )

rotrude asked for L: Is there a section of canon above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?

For Merlin I don't think there's one particular section that inspires me more than any other. There are scenes and episodes that I like and can inspire me, like Merlin's goodbye speech to Arthur in "Le Morte d'Arthur", "The Last Dragonlord", ( Read more... )

Mike and I are on the search for our first dance music and music for our reception. It's probably something we don't have to worry about too much right now, but we're trying to pick a DJ, and it's actually something fun for the wedding that we can do. It's also kind of an interesting look into Mike's brain as he vetoes songs for a variety of ( Read more... )
