Calling All Volunteers!
We need to move Jenni's stuff before Jamin and I leave to drive to New Hampshire (primarily so that Janis doesn't have the stress of trying to figure out how to get all of Jenni's furniture to where ever she's going). The only days we really have available are Saturday and Sunday. Since Saturday is Jenni's birthday, we ( Read more... ) -
Black Cat, Anyone?
So we've been thinking, and come to the conclusion that we really can't take the cats from Utah to New Hampshire with us. We think it's just too far for a pair of cats that whines like they're dying the second you put them in the cat carrier, and doubles in volume when they get to the car. What they need is a nice across town trip to a home where ( Read more... ) -

A Thousand Apologies
Janis just walked into the kitchen and glanced at the calendar... There appears to have been someplace we were supposed to be tonight.
We're sorry, Doug and Aja!Janis and I went to a synagogue service this morning, so we weren't in our usual frame of mind anyway, and then Janis was napping, so of course she forgot. I was playing with Caelan, but ( Read more... ) -
Missing Movies
I was just going through all of our movies and found five listed in MediaMate that we don't appear to have on the shelf. Has anyone borrowed any of these movies:- Gangs of New York
- Ocean's Eleven

- We Were Soldiers
- Gangs of New York

There won't be as much to move if I can just pull all my hair out...
Why is it that all of my neighbors have heard that we're moving, and suddenly they all remember their computers need fixing? I was planning to get SO many things done this week, while Jamin was out of town... far too many things to realistically get them done, of course. It's beginning to seem like all Jamin's going to come home to is a ( Read more... ) -
Mustard
It's been so long since I posted, I figured I should get back into some kind of routine... or something. Janis (my mother-in-law) sent me this email:
As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection: a thick slab of ham on a fresh bun with crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I ( Read more... ) -
Just so we're clear
Janis and I were trying to decide what to give Caelan because she's sick today. We were looking at the Triaminic and the Triaminic cold and cough, but weren't sure what we should give her -- she's coughing, but not much. I decided to ask Caelan. Here is the conversation that followed ( Read more... ) -
Additions
I take it from everyone's stunned silence that you either missed the post, forgot to reply, won't be here, haven't figured out what you're going to bring, don't know how to tell me you can't afford to bring anything, or don't like me and just don't want me to know it. It's OK. I can take a hint ( Read more... ) -
Procrastinating
This was in my school reading this week:
Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen, authors of Procrastination: Why You Do It and What To Do About It, say that habitual procrastinators are often perfectionists who create problems by using their ability to achieve as the only measure of their self-worth: “The performance becomes the only measure of the ( Read more... )
