We bought a house last week. it is amazing. it needed to be painted. we got 3 rooms done (still need to do trim) this weekend. I thought we'd get more done, but apparently the walls are 30 feet tall and the ceilings are not popcorn, they are painted to match the walls. all this added up to taking longer than we anticipated. and I was wrong, ( Read more... )

well, Labor Day came and went, with me having too much of a reaction to the moderate amount of beer I drank. At this point I still feel pretty nauseous so there must be something more to it. it might have something to do with the anti-depressant I just started on last week or two. oh, by the way, I'm on an anti-depressant. I've been on this ( Read more... )

So yesterday I was involved in a jewelry sale, my first. It was at Sun City, the old-folks resort community (summer camp?) near Georgetown. There were 32 vendors, and a lot of shoppers, mostly the Sun City residents. My mom had heard about it and signed us up for a booth, and then neglected to tell me about the 'us' part until last weekend. I ( Read more... )

I went out and danced in the rain last night. did lots of deep breathing and stretching. sure I'm weird, but it was deeply satisfying for a waterbaby like me. I swear I was a mermaid in a former life ( Read more... )

over the last few weeks, I've done some internet shopping hear and there. something I needed, something I just wanted; you know how it goes. with our long weekend out west (becoming our Burning Man, great trip this time everybody!) I just let it all sit 'til I got up to the mailbox store when I had the time, and Mr. Misphit did it tonight so he ( Read more... )

my boss reeked today. very skunky. I'm just sayin'. my inner monologue vascillates from 'it's not fair, it smells gooood' to 'straighten up and get to work'. sigh ( Read more... )

I went to a new doctor yesterday, which is great considering I haven't had one outside of the Austin Regional Clinic in years. the clinic is fine for when you have a cold, but the fast-food/revolving door style of care is no good for bigger issues. I really like the new doctor, she asks lots of questions and is observant and funny. she also is ( Read more... )

So I broke a tooth last Friday. a front tooth. it is part of a bridge (a Maryland Bridge, if anyone cares). My dentist filled the empty space with bondo (guessing from the taste) and I will need one of two options: a dental implant, if there is even enough space for one; a new bridge and crown on the broken tooth. either will be freakin ( Read more... )

we just saw the movie Moon. go see it. it's very good. even Matt thought so.

if you know me, you've probably already seen bsdcat's post about everything. Really, in the grand scheme of things a sick dog and a thunderstorm are not that big a deal, and I'm grateful that's all we've had this week. But I'm tired and weary from worrying about the dog. watching her shit blood multiple times was getting to me, then having to ( Read more... )
