Leaving for Round Rock in an hour and a half. Larry and Scooter are sleeping. I'm too excited. Honestly, I've got my heart set on a particular house. It's old in a crazy beautiful kind of way to me and in a wonderful looking part of downtown Round Rock, 400 yards to the library and restaurants closer than that. Oh, but it's expensive. It's ( Read more... )

Aaaack! We're moving soon. Larry starts work on the 16th of this month. We're going to try to move with him *and* buy a house. We leave Thursday for our house-hunting trip, returning Saturday. Then my parents are coming to visit on Tuesday, leaving Friday. Then we get in the car and drive to Texas. Eeks ( Read more... )

It's official. We'll be moving to Austin, Texas, in the middle of April. Larry accepted an offer with Dell Computers. I'm so excited. Technically, we'll be moving to the suburb of Round Rock, but it looks to be kind of like the way Cary is to Raleigh.

Back from Vancouver! Larry and Schroeder are still alive. They are both talking about twice as much as they were before I left town. Yakity yak all day long from both of them. I've got my work cut out for me to get back to peace and quiet, lots of shushing and "To whom are you talking?"s to be handed out. Larry was all like, "Schroeder sure is ( Read more... )

It looks like we'll be moving either mid or late April. Larry's current job will end this month or next; and we've already put in notice at the apartment office. Yikes. We've been here longer than anywhere else, including the townhouse in Cary. It really seems kind of scary to be moving even though we used to do this every year ( Read more... )

We're dumpster diving. Larry is on his way back with a pair of Klipsch speakers that were at the trash chute.

Oh, this is amusing to me.

Happy President's Day. Winter is finally here, at least the bitterly cold part of it. Until Thursday or so. We had breakfast at IHOP late this morning.

We watched Desk Set last night by way of NetFlix new instant view service. It was really good; and the instant view stuff is cool, especially since it's free. It took us a while (well okay, it ( Read more... )

Thank you Cindy for the infant gas relief drops. I never would have thought to get them myself; and Schroeder would never need them until 3:30am when CVS is closed and Larry is sound asleep.

Thank you to everyone that came to Larry's birthday party. I really appreciate your helping me make it a special one for him. He had a great time ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to Larry. He turns 40 today. We're going to have our first night out post-Schroeder, with a babysitting assist from Cindy & Company. Night at the Museum followed by a nice steak dinner at home. Larry opted to upgrade his red velvet cake from a single to a double layer ( Read more... )
