ETA: cancel that request! I found it! It was in the coupon section of the Sunday paper! :) "Angel Lush", just a crap fluffy recipe that might work well for spring/Easter stuff (especially with angel food and strawberries on sale...). Yay ( Read more... )

AKA: Taxes, 2008.

School ending and starting, student loans in all directions, old jobs and new jobs, marriage, sold one property, investment and other accounts moving all over the place, all kinds of charity donations, etc. etc. etc.

I think the only new-tax-thing we didn't do was have a baby. Thank goodness! Phew! Back to the taxes...

A magical and confusing, and for some probably rather scary, mirror! Very cute ( Read more... )

I mentioned recently that I had a really hard night but was struggling to talk about it here. It's not so much the topic that has me stuck, it's the getting across the feelings. Perhaps I've accepted that I can't ever get those feelings and that moment across fully. So I'll share just a few basics here. The "facts" of what happened, and a ( Read more... )

So BSG is finally over, and as much as I kinda feel like getting into The Plan or Caprica, I don't think I'm going to.

Worth the small fee every 8(or is it 12?) weeks and definitely helping us stockpile basics.

I've been working quite a bit of OT lately but this week only worked my expected 3 days. So, I have four days off which should be a nice thing ( Read more... )

We've been happily without cable for a couple months now. I'm very much enjoying the "extra" time I have when I don't default to wasting it in front of the tv. I.e. putting the thing on for "background noise" and then getting sucked into crap or reruns of good shows I've already seen, etc. I'm all for good/great tv when it's good and enriching ( Read more... )

Today M and I drove into work/school together, and of course drove home together as well. We worked/"clinicaled" from about 7:30-3:30. Came home, enjoyed a bit of afternoon together and will probably go to bed at fairly normal times. I must admit...this has been kinda nice. Probably not nice enough to give up my night shift pay. But...makes me ( Read more... )

So we're not exactly big VDay folks for various reasons, but we do tend to honor it a bit. For the most part, our celebration of the day was the entire weekend/trip, but we did each end up getting each other something in the realm of stereotypical silliness. ( Gift exchange )
