- had several crushes

Revisiting my resolutions for 2012
- Keep the house cleaner- yeah, this isn't going so well. I'm trying harder, but now that we've moved I've had to figure out how to keep a different space clean. The kitchen is clean, particularly when I'm baking. But there are things that haven't even been unpacked because we'll probably be out of this place in less than a year and we'll be away ( Read more... )

Just managed to secure a table for two at the local tapas bar - on a Saturday night, no less! - for 9:30. I tell this to D:
Me: We have a reservation!
D: What time?
Me: 9:30.
D: But the babysitter is coming at 8.
Me: We'll walk. And we'll have a drink first.
D: [frowns] But it's so late!
Me: We can pretend we're in Spain! Look, when you went to ( Read more... ) -
Didn't think I'd get here...
I've been encountering an error message whenever I try to access my LJ and it's starting to get annoying, particularly as it seems to work fine on D's laptop but not on mine. Apparently I *can* post; I just can't look over anything I've posted in the past. The page I'm reaching instead says

Long, long day yesterday. Actually (as usual) it's been a long few days.
Work on Wednesday was good and pretty busy. Actually, this has been a busy time in general as Christmas as coming up and people are spending more on food. Also, we've learned to expect to bring in more money the last week of the month (payday). Raced home, collected kids, ( Read more... ) -

Company on Saturday night was nice. She's a visiting lecturer in D's department, he's a lawyer who has taken a leave of absence to write a legal thriller. Two kids, one in M's year but not in his class. Very successful dinner (Indian) followed by two happy little boys having a sleepover.
Sunday was a lazy sort of day - mostly. M, J and I ( Read more... ) -

More busy days -- Thursday at work was a bit hectic due to JC needing to leave at 12:30. These days I aim to have all the ordering finished by noon and then go straight into my break, rather than work through the lunch rush and leave at 2. Finances have been a bit tricky lately so the orders were a bit smaller than they have been in the past and ( Read more... ) -

The week seems to be flying by (again) while I constantly attempt to nail down the days and keep things from moving too fast.
The fair was awesome. Really, truly amazing. I spent the first few hours far too busy to look at the other stalls, and the last couple of hours with a steady flow of "visitors" to sit on the second chair I'd brought over to ( Read more... ) -

Busy week here. The tenants are moving in on Friday and we still have the cats at the old house. The woman who was going to have them while we're away and agreed to take them earlier hasn't begun the work she was having done in her house and now won't be able to have them for a few weeks. So we're going to bring them here on Thursday and try to ( Read more... )
