I miss live journal. The facebook seems so uninspiring.

Farmer and I went to see his family/friends in Warsaw Illinois for the New Years. It was a long drive...5 hours, but overall it was good for him to see his peeps again. We stayed at his friend Chers' place. Her house is right on a hill overlooking the Mississippi River, so the views are amazing. I saw more bald eagles in 3 days than in my whole ( Read more... )

Christmas treated us well here in Eudora. We had a very relaxing day of eating, opening pressies, occasional cocktails and intermittent talking with friends and relatives on the phone. Farmer fried up a ham steak, and I made my world famous galicky mashed potatoes...it was pretty yummy ( Read more... )

Farmer and I bought some of those picture taking binoculars from a guy at the bar last week. Unfortunately there aren't any super cute neighbors in the immediate area to take summer time pictures of (shirtless and washing the car...). We do have quite a bit of wildlife activity in the backyard though, so once in a while I can capture a critter or ( Read more... )

I'm back in Eudora, after a week in West Virginia. WV was ok, other than the weather. I sorta thought that it would be warmer than what it was in Kansas, but alas and alack, it was damp and rainy. The place that I was at was like a nature preserve with lots of woods and paths to walk through the icy rain on. There were tons of deers roosting ( Read more... )

Ok...ok...you all know that I far out-did him in my decorations, but he had a cute little pile in the basement which my huge blob of a pile quickly engulfed ( Read more... )

So Thanksgiving went surprisingly well. We played board games and ate like pigs, and drank like fishes of course. Fun was had by all.

I am officially off work until next Monday. Weeee!!! Of course, being off work means that I have my blackberry with me at all times and respond to messages throughout the day. But hell, it's better than being in the office ( Read more... )

Ok...I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I bet on the NASCAR last week. At the local pub Farmer and I frequent, NASCAR is a favorite pastime. Personally, I would rather be tied up and forced to listen to a George Bush speech than have to even think about the NASCAR. However, the locals here have a NASCAR betting pool for each weeks race.
