Lora Innes on Marriage: "...but it's much much better than that. One minute you're makin' love, the next you're arguing about teapots. Best. Thing. Ever."

So I'm sitting here watching the Patriots game, drinking my beer, and it occurred to me that I haven't updated this thing in half past forever. That's mostly because nothing of interest has really happened in the past few months. I'm looking forward to the spring. I have to admit that I'm just tired of the cold at this point. I miss spending time ( Read more... )

I went to the gym today. Yay. We'll see how long I can keep that up, especially with night classes this fall. I'm certainly not the most dedicated exerciser.

I hope the occasional pains I had in my chest today were just stress and not something serious. Like cancer. Cause that would suck.

I've been a lazy bum. I need to start exercising again. I think my problem is that I need motivation above and beyond a simple "Exercising is good for me, I'll be better off if I do it." Ia just get distracted so easily ( Read more... )

Once of these days I'll admit that I might possibly need glasses.

But today is not that day!

All they had to say was that a line had to be drawn somewhere, and second cousins once removed seemed like a good place to ( Read more... )

There was a cold rain tonight. So when I got back from my walk, I was rather damp. Alas.

I need to get back in the habit of not wasting my money. Or at least be smarter about wasting my money.

My baby sister has started seeing a guy she met at work. Who is older than I am. *twitch*

The last month or so has been interesting. I finally got to see The Cat Empire in concert. Twice in the space of five days. Once in New York City, Central Park. The other in Providence. It's been two years since I was first foiled on my way to see them, and they were even better than I had imagined. The energy was incredible and we all had an ( Read more... )
