I did not get married or divorced. I did not have a child or lose a parent. I did not move or buy a house or sell a house. I did not change jobs, fall in love, break up horribly. I did not travel somewhere I've never been. I did not lose my job, get promoted, get a new pet, lose a beloved bet, get sick, become incredible healthy, take a course, ( Read more... )

I'm seriously amused.I get that its about life expectancy but wording people- use some.

I still need a new leather belt, classic basic, able to swap out buckles, longer than my waist- cause I still have that desire- and good quality leather- anyone know any leatherworkers? I tried faire this past weekend. the Oberon belts are not as thick as they used to be...and not as long as I want one. I like a belt with an extra 4-8 inches for ( Read more... )

So R and I went to Dicken's yesterday and I was sort of disappointed. I couldn't find some people and some stuff I was hoping to see. Maybe my bloodsugar was low. Maybe in comparison to the wonderful time I had Friday night with some friends decorating the tree- or Saturday with my sister-in-law or Saturday night at the union party or with friends ( Read more... )

So we wrote to the rescue place and told them we couldn't keep Isis. She's pretty and soft and sometimes very sweet and most of the time Elvis seems to really like her- BUT- she has chewed the couch, the chair, the couch and chair pillows and as of this weekend part of the carpet. That's it. WE ABSOLUTELY cannot afford to replace everything we own ( Read more... )

so yesterday morning I got up before 5am to go into work early for a training on a new certification we're looking to get... suffice it to say it was a long long long day- an extra few hours of work followed by dropping my car off to get serviced and then joining some friends for a sushi dinner.

So--- Thanksgiving went well- long and hard and busy but no injuries and all was tasty- saw my family and worked a lot at my folks house on the gathering- we were small this year- only 35 I think... Less than usual. Briefly stopped at Rob's folks place- he was there longer- I was there an hour to talk while they ate ( Read more... )

Also - work is busy- r is not working- a friend is crashing with us- family is visiting- planning on making my portion of the holiday meal tonight or tomorrow- hurt my back over the weekend- saw my chiropractor yesterday- seems to be ok today- but mostly I'm tired of folks asking what's new when I don't know what to say. Other than all that stuff I ( Read more... )

So it's been active- well, for me- R won tickets to Cirque de Soleil Thanksgiving weekend- which is fabulous - I usually buy them but it's gonna be a tighter xmas than usual since R was out of work for a while and we're still catching up a little. So not spending the money on the tix is great. And its not like I could miss the show- I love the show ( Read more... )
