So I'm trying to read more this year. Instead of turning on the TV as a default, I pick up a book from the stack I usually have from the library. I'm shooting for two a month, but that was set back a bit by The God Delusion, which took me almost two months to get through and led to a lot of fines at the library (I couldn't renew it because there ( Read more... )

So what have I been up to in the last 4-5 weeks? Mostly boring day-to-day life, but there are a few things ( Read more... )

I spent a weekend at mom's, where I got to meet up with Julie and see her gorgeous house, and then did Christmas Eve through Wednesday just me and Ryan. It was glorious.

You'd think it'd get easier to send him away on business trips as I got used to it, but no. We are going out for a nice dinner tonight, then I leave for my mom's for the weekend. I'll be back for us ( Read more... )
