Well.  My last post was a month ago, so I suppose I should at least pretend I still keep a journal.

Exercise goal: not quite making it every day, but I estimate I at least do it 3 times a week, on average, 30 min each time.  Not wonderful, but still much better than it used to be.  Plus I get to report it at work and earn extra minutes of paid ( Read more... )

We went to DI on Wednesday night and bought an exercise bike.  Except the display didn't work when we tried it, so first we put it on hold, ran across the street to a convenience store, bought a 9 volt battery, went back to DI, hunted down someone with a screwdriver, replaced the battery, and tested it again.  It worked.  So we bought it.  Except ( Read more... )

of 3 pairs of earrings I made tonight.  I had an earring making extravaganza with my friend.  (I made a 4th pair too but gave it to her because they were orange and I knew I wouldn't wear them ever.)

I've been reading like mad lately.  So now, for a quick look at what I have deemed worthy of my time.

Wake, by Lisa McMann: very quick read; I think it took me about an hour and a half.  It has an interesting premise: a girl is sucked into the dreams of anybody who happens to be having one nearby, whether she wants to or not.  She has to learn how ( Read more... )

Busy moving, among other things.  So, here's a quick recap of my life of late, since it HAS been a month and a half after all.

After my last update, the management did manage to fix the AC enough for it to stay fixed, which was nice.  Too bad it took 'em 4 tries.  We also made an epic run to Costco to get family reunion supplies, which then filled ( Read more... )

Last Saturday rhb and I went on a double date with his cousin and my former roommate.  We traveled to Thanksgiving Point, where there is, apparently, a glass-blowing studio owned by a gentleman who is often commissioned to make stained-glass windows for temples around the world.  We got a personal tour of the place, seeing all the steps to the ( Read more... )

Yesterday at work I had a record-breaking day.  I believe my old record for calls received in one day is 63.  Yesterday I got.... SEVENTY THREE.  Yes, I beat it by 10.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

***Edit***

Also, it snowed on Monday.  Double blech.  It is, after all, the end of May, as everyone else on FB already pointed out to the ( Read more... )

I had the urge to bake today, so I made bread (of course, because we were out) and lemon bars.  My picture of the lemon bars didn't turn out so well, but they more than make up for it in taste - I've already eaten 3 even after exercising self-restraint, and rhb has declared them to be "really good".  So tasty, with just the right amount of tartness ( Read more... )

First things first, the A key on my laptop is being fritzy as of late, so I apologize for any missing a's in this post.  It's really annoying.  I think there may be a crumb or something underneath it interfering with its proper function, but alas, I have no compressed air and I'm kind of afraid to pop it off just in case I can't get it back on ( Read more... )

1. Slept in til 10:45.
2. Cut my finger on the bread knife.  In a most inconvenient spot, I might add.  Then again, anywhere on your finger is inconvenient to cut.
3. Went with rhb to Walmart to get the oil changed in the car and buy coolant to refill the coolant thingy - before it was low for long enough to cause several hundred dollars worth of ( Read more... )
