Wow. That's all I can say about tonight. Wow ( Read more... )

Fifteen minutes ago, as I was getting ready for bed, I decided to walk to the bathroom. Now, this is something I've done thousands of times in my life; you'd think I'd be able to do it without injuring myself. Sadly, the bathroom door had blown shut from the breeze blowing through the open window, and the hallway between my room and the bathroom ( Read more... )

In a fairly important phone conversation with my older cousin today, I used the word "impeding" when I meant to say "impending." Either luckily or unfortunately for me, Chris noticed my mistake and gently pointed it out to me.

I was quite embarrassed.

In a very brief phone conversation with Janna tonight (because her cell phone was going to die), we made plans to hang out tomorrow afternoon. It's been since May or before since we've spent time one-on-one, and I can't remember the last time we spent the whole day together. Recently we've been talking a little bit each day on the phone, but ( Read more... )

It is REALLY hot in Minnesota this weekend! As of right now, my bedroom is somewhere around 90 degrees, and the hallway outside is about 85 degrees, or so. Luckily for mom, the dogs, and me, we decided to spend about an hour or two today putting in the two window air conditioners that we own downstairs, making it possible to live, breathe and ( Read more... )

I've been so busy. I love posting on LiveJournal, and I'd do it once a day, but my life is so busy right now. When I finally sit down and have time to spend on the computer in the evening, it's at least 10:15 at night, at the earliest. Most of the time, it's more like midnight before I get time to myself when I don't have something going on. ( Read more... )

This weekend was wonderful. Everything at Twin Cities Pride went well in terms of the St. Olaf booth; everybody who signed up officially to work at the booth arrived, we handed out all of the "I'm an Ole!" buttons we had by Sunday afternoon, and we came away with two handwritten pages full of information about alumni to add to the alumni registry ( Read more... )

I still love (and if I could figure out how to put "love" into italics quickly, I would) the Indigo Girls with a passion. <3

Can I just say that the Indigo Girls are/were performing at the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater this month at some point and I was too slow at getting tickets so I didn't get to go? I'm still bummed about that.

I worked fairly hard today, if a person can say that being paid to take hearing tests in a hot soundproof booth followed by four hours spent holding and playing with a four-month old baby is hard work. Both jobs can be tiring (surprisingly), because taking the hearing tests can be about as boring as watching the grass grow, and one never knows ( Read more... )
