For those interested, Amanda had her baby yesterday! Charlotte Kathryn Gosvenor was born Nov. 10 at 3:06pm, 5 lbs 14 oz, and 19 inches long. Both Charlotte and Amanda are doing fine!

My computer has decided to hate the wireless network, and won't connect. It needs help. Or a brain transplant ( Read more... )

*While generally speaking, putting off reading is a bad thing, in this case it's coming in as a good review. This will not happen again. Try To Keep Up While You're Only A Little Behind ( Read more... )

...to Amazon. Yes...Okay, maybe it's not too bad yet, but I love ordering things online. It's quite amazing to me. And I love getting mail....*sigh* I ordered two books on minimalism and minimalist composers (such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass) just now for Ryan for his birthday. I think he'll like them....the tricky part will be keeping my ( Read more... )

I walked to the bookstore on campus this morning, made a list of what I needed, came home, found everything on Amazon, and ordered away. I am set to go for the fall term (minus a german book that they didn't have a listing for in the bookstore) for a mere $135 for ten books. I love Amazon ( Read more... )

Three days of anibiotics for some annoyingness that has decided to ravage the inside of me, and theoretically I should be getting back to normal.... *sigh ( Read more... )

I still don't feel good. Darn this whatever it is that I've got! I need to go to the library and pick up my paycheck, and tell the boss that I can't, in fact, work on the evening of the twenty-fifth like I thought I could yesterday, because I have to go see Michael Bublé that night, and that's just more important than work ( Read more... )

I'm at Ryan's, chilling out in my melty chair (aka his big brown ugly but oh-so-comfy chair that I always sit in when he's playing piano). He trusts me enough to leave me here with free reign of his apartment while he goes to work. In return, I sometimes do his dishes and leave him obnoxiously sweet and random notes all over the place. hehehe ( Read more... )

I really don't want to go to work today. It's just too bloody hot there. There is one one small corner of the library where the AC actually works, so the kids section stays relatively cool compared to everywhere else, but I had to be upstairs in HELL yesterday, shelving where there is not even a fan blowing, let alone AC. It was over 86 degrees ( Read more... )

I am so spoiled to have a mechanic and one in training in the family, for serious. Dad spent probably four or five hours yesterday working on my brakes, and he replaced the master cylinder, brake pads, and brake hoses--all for a grand total of: $160. That's it. The shop quoted me $466, just for parts. Where did that other $300 come from? Oy. ( Read more... )
