One of the first things I do when I get home from work, after feeding Jasper and giving him fresh water, is go upstairs and change out of my work clothes. I keep my clothes in the master bedroom upstairs even though I sleep on the sleeper sofa in the living room. Anyway, today I hung my dress up and went into the bathroom to pull on a t-shirt and ( Read more... )

The cable installer man was supposed to come today between 1pm and 4pm. He showed up around 7:30 or so. So I was stuck in the living room being extremely bored for about eight hours all told, but it's okay because I'm online now. AND I have cable TV! I turned on the Discovery channel when the cable guy left, and there was my absolute favorite ( Read more... )

Just a quick note saying I'm about to shut my computer down and go dark for a few days while I move. No one will notice, though, since I haven't been on LJ for the longest time and everyone probably thinks I've died. As soon as I settle into my new home I'll be back to my usual (ahem) chipper self. Also, I have not forgotten your SCARF and HAT, ( Read more... )

It's time to get my ducks in a row. I'm moving in two weeks, all the way from Tennessee to Pennsylvania. I've never even visited Pennsylvania even though my brother's family has lived there ten years. Now I'm moving to a town just outside of Pittsburgh. It's going to be a big change ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my spinning guild meeting. I didn't bring my wheel or anything because I got there late and had to leave early, but I did buy some wool!

Seaslug_of_Doom, is this okay for your ( Read more... )

Yesterday my boss was off work all day, so I had an experience unique in my many years of temping: I had the office entirely to myself for an entire workday ( Read more... )

I've started a new temp job at an office in downtown Knoxville. It's a rotten, stressful job (well, not too bad, but not any fun either) but I can't afford to be picky. And it has the benefit of windows looking out onto an alley ( Read more... )

Mom told me years ago how she had almost named me Jennifer Rebecca, and how, when she changed her mind and named me Katherine Elizabeth instead, my grandmother came to her and thanked her ( Read more... )

I got it from Tharain!

Okay, here I am this afternoon sitting in front of my computer working hard at writing my weekly movie review. The dog is on the porch asleep, Mom wandered off to the store to give me lots of peace and quiet, and I shut the door to my bedroom--at least as far as it shuts, with the computer cable snaking under it ( Read more... )
