I've had my fantastic little car for almost a year now. It's hard to believe, though I suppose when I get the large amount drafted from my paycheck each month it's real enough. Anyway, I haven't had to do much to it other than the occasional wash and wax, oil change, etc., which has been nice. I don't worry at all about driving in bad weather, ( Read more... )

So I just had the worst experience of the wedding planning so far. I went to a bra shop in Raleigh for a longline bra for the wedding gown. I'd already ordered one that turned out not to work b/c it wasn't what I'd ordered. So I thought going local would be worth it ( Read more... )

Yeah so I'm getting married. Most of you probably already know this. If you didn't, well, consider yourself informed. ;-) J proposed Feb. 8, I accepted, and in the ensuing three weeks or so of chaos, my mom and I got a ceremony/reception location, caterer, cake baker and *the* dress. Oh, and I got a florist. All this after I declared myself unable/ ( Read more... )

I just figured out what to get J for Valentine's Day!! Happiness! Most of you probably don't understand what a big thing this is for me. I, so far, have had a really tough time trying to figure out what to get him for various special occasions, and while he always says he's happy with what he gets, I will freely admit that he does a better job of ( Read more... )

I don't come here very often, usually because my life's just busy and by the time I get home, I don't usually want to get back on the computer. My job entails a lot of time spent staring blankly at a computer screen. Not always the most exciting thing ever. No offense to the computer geeks who may or may not be reading this. (My God, don't you have ( Read more... )

Just a little bit longer. My clothes are churning in the washing machine and I have to make it another half hour so I can put them in the dryer and have something to wear to work tomorrow. I'm tired. I'm sore. My weekend has been exhausting, in good ways and in some not-so-good ways. But then my whole week has been like that, so perhaps I should be ( Read more... )

That's from a movie, one I used to watch a lot, but now I can't remember what it was. Hmm. I'll think on it. It'll come to me ( Read more... )

Ever wondered what a candy corn looks like after it's been out of the bag a while? I saw one. It was on the bottom of the parking deck at North Hills. I don't know how long it'd been there, but by the time I saw it, it was nothing but an orange, yellow and white puddle. I guess it just liquified in the humidity and heat ( Read more... )

I went on a nice long trail ride today with about 100 other people. Big group, lovely day, very windy ... thankfully we only had one spook during a big gust of wind that made the caution tape strung up to mark our ride flutter violently on the ground where it'd been torn and left. I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow. I'm sore already! My butt and ( Read more... )
