This weekend has actually been pretty relaxing, with Eric and I getting a chance to spend a lot of much needed "us" time together. We snuggled on the couch and watched TV, ate out at some yummy restaurants, and played silly games like TextTwist. Yesterday we also went to our local museum shop's clearance sale, and picked up some fascinating used ( Read more... )

I'm posting here from work. It's ten minutes to nine (work theoretically starts at eight), and my whole row of cubicles is empty, for now. I'm not really sure where everyone is, but I guess that doesn't matter too much ( Read more... )

Well, for a first day at a new job, today did not go well. The good news is that I didn't actually go to my new office or see any of my new co-workers, so it has the potential to improve dramatically. The bad news is that if it doesn't, I'm going to volunteer to be unemployed again very quickly ( Read more... )

It's about 5am on Monday morning, and I have to go to work in a few hours. I hadn't planned on getting up this early, and may still make an attempt to crawl back in bed and doze for a little while in a few minutes. Unfortunately, the reason I'm up is that I'm suffering from an old fashioned tummy ache. I'm not sure if it's nerves, since today is ( Read more... )

Well, it's been over a year since I last posted an entry, which is pretty ridiculous. I read over all my old entries, though, and it was kind of fun to remember some events or feelings which I'd forgotten about. Once, when I was little, I thought that I would always remember every little detail of my life. I think that would be incredible were ( Read more... )

I had a really busy day yesterday. I got up, drug myself through Wal-Mart (on a Saturday afternoon no less. Ugh) to buy a baby shower gift for my boss and his wife, after which I went to the baby shower. I was surrounded by a bunch of military wives who thought a bottle drying rack was the best thing they'd ever seen. It was a soberingly ( Read more... )

I know I haven't written anything in ages. My apologies for that, but my life has been busy indeed. I finally moved off base to an apartment, and it is absolutely heavenly. I bought a very nice bed which I have fallen very much in love with. I've never enjoyed crawling into bed so much as I do now ( Read more... )

So I took a fencing class the other day. I've always wanted to learn how to fence, but it's the kind of thing that I end up putting off always till next week, next break, next paycheck, next whatever. So in a moment of honest motivation, I looked up fencing lessons in Hawaii on the internet, picked a place, made a phone call and showed up at the ( Read more... )

Here's a question that I've been posing to my friends in person, and I thought it would be neat to post on my journal. If I've already asked you this, feel free to post again.

What is the best gift you received for Christmas this year, and what is the best gift that you gave someone?
