Since I started feeling a little better last week, I have been completely absorbed by Atonement (the novel, not the movie) by Ian McEwan. Granted, I haven't read anything I'd consider "literary fiction" in quite some time, but this is the best book I have read in I cannot remember how long. Every spare minute I've had has been spent reading. I ( Read more... ) -

I was deathly ill yesterday with flu. Ugh. I do not remember the last time I had flu. It actually started Tuesday morning, but yesterday was the worst of it. I'm still not feeling 100% today, but loads better than the past two days. William got sick Monday night/Tuesday morning, so he was beginning to feel better yesterday.

Lessons in Home Repair #573
Installing a new toilet seat makes you get more up close and personal with your toilet than any person could ever want.
I don't think I've ever been in such close proximity to the toilet bowl except when I've been drunk, in which case, it was forgettable and therefore not as gag-inducing. Thankfully I keep a relatively clean toilet. -
lawdy!
* Do you recall how I injured myself near a precarious location on my body not so long ago? Care to wager what happened to me tonight? I sat on the toilet to take a piss and our toilet seat that probably should've been replaced years ago BROKE IN HALF under my ass. That is one humbling experience. So now I have scratches from the broken wood of ( Read more... ) -

You know how you plan out the perfect lazy evening (I would've said 'day' a year ago...alas!)? And then something happens to utterly foil your plans?

The Tudors DVD was released this past Tuesday. Now, I typically never buy anything for myself between Christmas and my birthday as they are so close. However, Jim and my mom ( Read more... )
