:-(
We had to put down our kitty cat, Pearl, this morning. She had a blood clot in her back and there's no effective treatment for it. 2015 is going to be a good year... -
Indulgence
I have decided I'm going to start spelling my name with completely unncessary umlauts. Aimëë. Heeheehee! -
Shameless Shill!
I have just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to hire an editor/marketer for my soon to be finished novel project "Conspiracy's Doorstep." Right now it's looking like I'll need around $2,500, so my goal is a bit higher than, just in case. This shameless shill is by no means a command that you donate, but please spread the word around ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts to Ponder
I recently had a conversation with my brother that revealed something I never really considered about him. Just a little bit of background...my brother and I are very much alike; so much so that we never really got along. We're both rather independent and tend to do things our own way regardless of what anyone else thinks. I think my parents (in ( Read more... ) -
Ack!
Sorry all, I realize I've been avoiding my avid fans...well, all three of you at least. You probably aren't aware of this, but I work at Washington Navy Yard. Granted, the building I work in is on the other side of the base from where the shooting happened, but that is where I work. I happened to have been on my regular day off on Monday, so I ( Read more... ) -
This just in!
I discovered that if you take the aluminum seal from a can of almonds (or probably any can that has an aluminum seal), and roll it up, it will work just like a stylus for modern touch screen technology. It's as accurate as your depth perception will allow. I've been meaning to get a stylus for my tablet, now it looks like I don't have to ( Read more... ) -
Mavin's Baseball Terminology 101
Not too long ago, during a game (I think it was football, for the record), I used the term "monkey stomp." There was some confusion over this idea from certain people, so I decided I needed to start a lexicon of terminology to explain what I mean by certain things. Of course, since I happen to watch baseball more than any other sport, I've ( Read more... ) -
Moved
I am moved. Well, for the most part. We moved on Tuesday from a little one-bedroom apartment to a three-level rental townhouse. The last time we moved, we abused our friends, and it was something of a fuster cluck, as some of you may remember. This time we hired movers, and while it wasn't cheap, it was at least efficient. We got a quote for 6 ( Read more... ) -
Darn you, Loganberrybunny!
So, Logan made a very nice pony for himself, and I thought, that's pretty awesome. So, here's my pony.

More Birthday Goodness!
In celebration of my birthday, I went out all out. Pictured below is the subject cake that I cobbled together from a couple different recipes. My first intent was to make a relatively healthy cake, as my husband and I are trying to lose weight. I found the chocolate sponge cake recipe with this in mind, and it originally had fresh fruit on top ( Read more... )
