So...
It's kind of embarrassing to admit that I've been working on the same L.M. Montgomery novel for almost two weeks now. But in my defense, I have, in that time, written over eleven pages of professor-worthy paper (meaning that I wrote at least twice as much as that in the process - only I have no satisfaction in the parts that weren't professor- ( Read more... ) -
In Which I Become a Vegetarian
Too bad it happened before I had a chance to cook the corned beef roast I bought the other day. I was really looking forward to it! But: "The time had come. So Marvin went ( Read more... ) -
Wanted: Personal Assistant
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way; but, seriously? I need someone to run unpleasant errands, grocery shop, and keep my house clean so that I can find some scrap of sanity that will allow me to appreciate life more. Any takers? -
Someday...
Someday, I want a cedar chest. Not because I need one, necessarily, just because I want one. To be honest, I just love old furniture in general, and when I run across something old (say, on Craigslist, or while thrift store shopping), I'm tempted to buy it, even if it's not the kind of furniture I'm looking for. Example: this past week, I found an ( Read more... ) -
Complaint
I'm nearly finished with my bachelor's degree - only 26 credits to complete my bachelor's degree (at long last). Since I'm so close, I want to make sure that every class I'm taking counts, in order to finish as soon as possible. So I recently (for the first time) contacted my "adviser." While he was helpful in letting me know (by e-mail) fairly ( Read more... ) -
So...
This move has proven to be ridiculously eventful. Between broken water pipes, mangled phone lines, a moldy fridge, a stove plug that doesn't fit the outlet, no vent for the dryer, and a multitude of other frustrations, my face has chosen inexplicably to break out in a horrible rash. I've never experienced anything like this before, and I can't ( Read more... ) -
Changes at Work
At work, we have two teams (creatively named "Team 1" and "Team 2"), meaning that I only work with about half of my work group on a regular basis. For the first three hours, we work exclusively in our teams, though in the second hour and a half, we could work with anyone. I've been working with roughly the same people for the past six months; but I ( Read more... ) -
Anybody Want a Cat?
Today, I'm fed up with my cat - the final straw in a long litany of complaints. I'm sure that he's a lovely cat, wonderful company, friendly, the perfect animal for someone who has the time and patience. I've run out of both, which means that I hardly have the wherewithall to try to train him or anything. I feel like nothing in my house is safe ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I really don't know where this past week went. It was crazy-busy, what with finishing up my Summer I class and feverishly sewing for our (sadly unsuccessful) booth at the Greenwood festival on Saturday. I also went to a party for the first time in at least two and a half years - maybe three. The only sad part was, I was sick. Too much to do, too ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
After months of having insurance coverage, I've only just gotten around to scheduling a dental appointment for myself and an eye appointment for Dereck. Go me! Now I just hope they don't find any cavities...
