Good news
My sister had her surgery today, and the news couldn't have been any better. The surgery took only about 1.5 hours (they'd said it could be 2-4 hours), and they found that the tumor didn't penetrate the lining of the uterus and didn't have roots (this is all 3rd hand filtered through my non-medically-inclined brother-in-law AND my baby sister, but ( Read more... ) -
Disney
Pretty much the same as what I thought last time I visited WDW:

Walt Disney World
Trip with family (sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, mother, and nephew) to WDW was a success. I wanted to strangle a couple of people a couple of times, but there was no real drama. A couple of days were much colder than usual, but we still had a great time ( Read more... ) -
strong Jen is tired.
I rode the exercise bike and lifted weights last night. While I'm not really sore (stretching properly afterward prevents that), my whole body is TIRED.

Junk
This weekend, I emptied, sorted, reorganized, and cleaned all of our lower kitchen cabinets (the upper ones didn't need it), the kitchen pantry, and the ginormous hall closet. Out of this, I tossed a garbage bag full of garbage/junk and filled two boxes for Goodwill.
I convinced Adam that he doesn't want, need, or love the icky old waffle iron ( Read more... ) -

War
I was 17 and a senior in HS when Desert Storm began. I remember the time and place and situation when my friends and I first heard about the invasion - backstage at a HS play - fairly clearly. Until then, I had heard tidbits of international 'relations' through my childhood - Beirut, hostages, Tripoli, etc. - but Desert Storm turned my view of ( Read more... ) -
Less junk
One of the many advantages of our relatively new self-imposed rules for gardening is that we need less junk (i.e., empty plastic pots). We used to buy lots of plants, dig up existing plants, replace them with the new plants, and put the old plants in nursery pots to deal with later. This resulted in our lovely garden being full of plants in ugly ( Read more... ) -
Letting go
My life has been much more pleasant since I've learned the fine art of letting go. Bosses driving me crazy? Accept that they will never change and focus on their many positive attributes. Project nuked from orbit by outside forces? Care about it again when there's something to be done about it; until then, remember that raising my blood ( Read more... )
