Yes, yes, it's two entries in one day! WTF? Hell has frozen over!

So, tonight, I am going to the Taste of OSU, which is an international food event sponsored by my department. Basically, all of the international student organizations around campus come together and cook delicacies from the countries they represent. Also, there is a bunch of ( Read more... )

I've been getting a lot of comments here and on FB about how I've inspired others to get healthy. I don't know how to take that because I certainly don't see myself as inspirational, especially given my large size! But, hey, if my "enthusiasm" for my own health is inspiring others, then I'm glad to do it ( Read more... )

So, once again, Andy leaves me in the middle of the week for a two-day trip to Baltimore... or is it DC this week? Who knows! All I know is that he's been doing this every week so far this year, so my question is this... why the hell don't we just MOVE to Baltimore??? Seriously, that would be ideal for me. Alas, I don't think that's going to happen ( Read more... )

Last night, we had a great time over at Amy and Kozo's house... the nikujyaga was awesome! Andy wants me to make it now. Amy gave me the recipe awhile back, but I've never made it... just never think of it! I think I will make it only I'll substitute bison for the beef so it's a bit leaner. But, yum!

Amy and Chris (Amy's brother) taught us how to ( Read more... )

So, today Andy and I took Duncan to the vet to have his follow-up visit from when he was sick two weeks ago, as well as to get some shots. Turns out that he has another viral lung infection AND bacterial ear infections in both ears.

*sigh*

Poor kitty. He's on another round of antibiotics and antivirals. Fun. Fun. And, he got two shots... which made ( Read more... )

Yesterday's news about the Supreme Court overturning previous rulings on corporate campaign financing really scares me. The fact that corporations can now freely spend as much as they wish on campaign advertisements is alarming and a wake-up call to the people of this country: YOUR vote is in jeopardy. Regardless of whether you're a Republican, ( Read more... )

Haven't posted in months... got swept up in the ease and convenience of Facebook, but I miss the ability to write more at length than the status update will allow ( Read more... )

I think the hardest part about finding out that someone is pregnant is the moment of false hope I get during which I deceive myself into believing that if I tried again, I might get pregnant too. I mean, they got pregnant... why couldn't I? Then the cold, harsh reality sets in that we did try... for nearly ten years... and one of those years with ( Read more... )

It's been about a month since I last updated, and I guess that's because I don't have a lot of things I really feel like talking about. This summer kind of knocked the wind out of me, what with Gene passing away and then learning that we won't be having children. I'd like to say that I'm getting through it all just fine, but that would be lying. At ( Read more... )

In trying to get a bit of control over the chaos that has become my life this last nine months or more, I signed up for classes today... although I still have to go and take a stupid math placement test. I am taking EEOB 400, or evolutionary biology. And, I hope to be taking Math 148. That's precalculus. I've already taken pre-calc, but that was 18 ( Read more... )
