I'm so relieved that SpikeTV is back to its Star Trek afternoons. There was a week in there when they were just showing James Bond films, which are great and all, but I need my DS9 and my TNG to work effectively.

This freelance thing is definitely the way to go.

Jim gave me a birthday card that says "To My Wife" on it.

Best card ever.

He also gave me a gift certificate for a couple's massage or any other spa treatment I might want...I've mentioned wanting the two of us to go for a couple's massage so it's really pretty awesome of him. I can't wait to use it.

But the card? That's getting framed.

Because if I did, I'd probably break one on January 2, and boy, would that ruin my birthday ( Read more... )

Mom and I found a couple of really amazing sweaters at Porcupine the day after Christmas. Normally I can't wear wool but for some utterly inexplicable reason, these two seemed not to bother my skin. Plus they were both supremely adorable.

Hell yeah.

In other news, I just want to wish everyone a very happy ringing in of 2006, howsoever you choose (or do not choose) to celebrate it. Me?

Happy happy y'all!

Jim and I have finally alit at our final destination. We were delayed interminably in Atlanta, but we had plenty to read and do and so in all it was fine.

We had such an awesome Christmas/Chanukah, and there's more to come. We've already installed the iPod mini FM transmitter-cum-charger in the car and it works perfectly!! It is the coolest gadget ( Read more... )

We've had a lovely Christmas. We got up a little before 8; the skies hadn't yet cleared from the overnight thunderstorms and so it was vaguely ominous outside, but inside all was warm and cozy. After opening presents (fun!), we had a late-ish breakfast. By then the sun had come out, so Jim and I went for a bike ride on the cart paths of the back ( Read more... )
