Pro-Choice but still Mourning
I realize that this post may elicit strong emotions from others. The actual situation elicited such a strong emotion in my already emotionally turbulent self that I thought writing would help. You see, as open minded as I am about many "hot-button" political issues today, I never actually talked to someone who had actually had an abortion about ( Read more... ) -
Her favourite scent is vanilla...
Its been most of the winter that a feeling of inadequacy has washed over me, such that I feel embarrassed when talking to others. Although I have enjoyed reconnecting with people, either directly over food, or indirectly over our electronic social networking tools (LJ, Facebook, Email, etc), I feel that I have nothing to share. Friends and Family ( Read more... ) -
House Hunting Fail
So we have been looking for about seven months, and still haven't found a suitable home. Perhaps I am too picky, either about the house or its price. Although I am sure that the right home will come to us when it ought, the house hunting is going to be taking a backseat for a while. Although slightly disappointed, as it still represents an ( Read more... ) -
Humbug
Cards are addressed, and will be going out soon.
Holiday shopping not nearly done.
Still not feeling very Christmasy. -
An offline week
Without a computer, as the HD in my six month old laptop suffered catastrophic failure (damn thing won't even spin). Access to a computer at work (behind a massively restrictive firewall) doesn't count. Interestingly, I still got alot done ( Read more... ) -
Belated bemusing
So last week was a crazy week for me, but I did want to remark on the fact that Padraic and I have now been married five years (on the Autumn Equinox)... and together for a little over ten. Sometimes our life sucked, sometimes it was totally awesome, but it always makes me happy to think of how much better my life is because he is apart of it. It ( Read more... ) -
WTF WFC
It seems that to put a bid on a house that is bank-owned by Wells Fargo, you have to go through a pre-approval process with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Given that anyone who has a brain should already be pre-approved by a mortgage firm even BEFORE looking at a house, I find this requirement completely ridiculous.
Assholes. -
Cute Fuzzy Stressball
So we are 24 hrs away from putting a bid on a house... assuming the conversation with the tax assessor on Monday goes the right way.
I hate the waiting game. -
Cleaning out the Bag
Its amazing what you find when you take on the arduous task of cleaning your everyday bag (its way too big to be called a purse). My husband is convinced that the Roswell Aliens, Jimmy Hoffa and Elvis all reside in my bag, hidden from the world at large, most probably on a permanent basis ( Read more... ) -
Life is Cruel sometimes...
I have been reflecting more as the rain pours down, mostly about the tragedy of the human condition. Although many of us remember the happiest moments of our lives (favorite birthday, becoming engaged/married, holding & hearing your first child for the very first time, etc.) but these moment do little to shape our emotional selves. Its the worst ( Read more... )
