My, my. I can't say that I have managed to get to the Fringe Festival or any of the art fairs, but I have been busy. I am finally recovered from our overdue wedding reception/housewarming party and it was just wonderful and perfect in every way. galacticvoyeur's entire family was in town for the weekend and nothing went wrong. It was great to see alexinamman and tigerlily hanging ( Read more... )

Well, here we are on hump day, hump month, hump hour. It sure has been soggy lately. As I sit here, floating on paint fumes in the office, I try to be optimistic and not go home in a woozy snit. I think the painting is done for today at least. I will not notice the headache, and instead will enjoy the department picnic. I even managed to make ( Read more... )

Hello dear readers:

My dear boy, alexinamman is back in town! Thank God, praise Allah, blessings from the universe. It was so good to see him and touch him and smell him after all these months of separation.

Biking to work at about 8:00 a.m. Friday, I swerved to avoid hitting a road construction sign that was in the bike path on Central (go figure). As I watched my front tire hit the dirt next to the path, I knew I was in trouble. The next few minutes (seconds?) passed in technicolor slow-mo. I ( Read more... )

Well, galacticvoyeur closed on the sale of his house today - yippee! Sold to the adorable girl with the multicolored hair. She is so excited, and he was so relieved. We can now move onward into the future with no boat anchors around our collective feet ( Read more... )

Thank you, minnehaha, for a most enjoyable, if somewhat snark-filled, dinner, and to jbru and davidschroth and mizzlaurajeanfor inaugurating our new digs with the First Ever Wizard party!

I haven't had that much fun since the last time I stayed up till midnight, which doesn't happen very often. I hope you will all come back again soon. I am pleasantly tired, in a very good way.

Golly. When I reminded myself at the beginning of this month that I should not attempt to plant anything until June 1, I thought I was temporarily insane. But now that the summer has come and gone, I guess I was right. Luckily, our yard is graced with lots of established perennials and bulbs, so we aren't looking out at very bleak scenery. We had ( Read more... )

Egad! Zoot! Crapola! I am in a "temporary" office until August (feels permanent when you look at it that way...) here at the University of TCF. I mean Twin Cities... I have the following things surrounding me ( Read more... )
