I am so seeing it tonight at 12:01!

(nerd? yes! fun? absolutley!)

T and I were discussing the other day what the definition of success might be. I truly believe the definition of success is based on personal perspective ( Read more... )

So, for fun I'm taking a Movies 101 course this summer. Basically, you watch a movie that hasn't been released yet, and then the director and actors/actresses discuss it with you. These are major movies and major stars, so it actually is quite fun ( Read more... )

Thought I'd briefly update - don't have much to say ( Read more... )

My Grandfather died yesterday after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease.
I am happy for him, in the sense that the battle is over now.
I worry for my Grandmother and how she'll handle this blow

He very kindly woke up early and shoveled the walk so I didn't have to. I know, why was this nice? Because T. works the night shift ( Read more... )

It's over now, and I've moved on to better things - like prepping my walls to finally get painted! See, my whole house, throughout, was painted a faint green. Not bad, but very very boring. After this ( Read more... )

Yep, that's right. My job affords me the ability to 'work from home' when the need arises. Like today, as I sit waiting for the plumber to arrive. At midnight last night our tenants called to say they had no heat. This on the coldest night NYC has experienced all season. As T. is gone, everything has fallen onto my shoulders. I had already ( Read more... )
