Better than the snuggie
Constant refrain in my house lately: it's so cooooold here! Last year, I harassed my boyfriend into getting me a Snuggie -- mostly as a joke because we both liked making fun of the silly commercials. He thought Snuggies were the most embarrassing invention known to humanity and I said if he loved me, he'd get me one. He did. ;) But it turned ( Read more... ) -
I lack a subject
Happy New Year, all! Tardy as usual.
Random stuff:
1. Bad luck around the house lately... There was a minor flood from the upstairs apartment into our house. I was staying home from work that day so I caught it as it was happening. Quite a bit of drama later (the neighbors weren't home, but the husband's 80-year old parents were visiting from ( Read more... ) -
Reviews
I’ve been almost totally offline for a few days because I spent the weekend devouring Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy. (Thank goodness I did this on a weekend - and double extra thank goodness I waited to read them until all 3 books were available - I think I’d have gone crazy otherwise.) Background for anyone unfamiliar: They’re YA novels ( Read more... ) -
Music meme
There was a music lyrics meme going around recently. I don't remember what the rules were, so I'm making up my own rules: basically, just give the song and artist name for anything you know.

The BBQ / party was a great success. We squeezed everyone into our tiny little apartment and when we ran out of chairs, people just stood and mingled like they do at bars. It was so nice to see people and to celebrate. :) I wish we had a bigger house so we could entertain more often, but this party was a reminder that people aren't that picky ( Read more... ) -
I blame homesickness
Does anyone else have horrible self control and do things like stay up too late watching a movie that's not even good? I was exhausted yesterday yet stayed up until 2 am watching The Hand That Rocks the Cradle simply because it was filmed in Seattle and I wanted to see scenes from home. The movie is Not Good -- the family hires a live-in nanny so ( Read more... ) -
Hades on the Potomac
That was a description I read recently of DC. ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The heat index is supposed to be 105 to 110 F today and it may be a record, which is saying something for this area ( Read more... ) -
Two out of four can be a problem
I don't remember what it's like to have fun or see friends or do anything other than work, work, work. :( I actually started crying in my office on Friday night when I was still there at 8 pm and I was starving and my back was hurting and I was paralyzed with the indecision of whether to pack all my papers up with me so I could work from home or ( Read more... ) -
It wasn't even funny
I just laughed so hard I made myself cry at something that was not even funny. I was cleaning out my Inbox (gulp, over 1400 chaotic, unsorted messages -- should I be embarrassed?) and came across an email that made me laugh, and then I started laughing so hard I couldn't talk so I couldn't even explain why I was laughing, and then my stomach ( Read more... )
