"The fourth month is weeks 14 to 17. At this stage your child is now the size of your fist. Your growing uterus is as big as a small melon. You should be able to notice it now from the outside."

Ummm... Ok...

So where's the baby in this picture?

Ok, this isn't news. Everyone in Ithaca knows how much Time Warner sucks and wishes there were a viable alternative for high speed internet, much less TV. However, they have brought their suck to a new level by charging my account this month $1.81 (yeah, I know its not much, but that's not the point) which they claim I owe them from 9 years ago - ( Read more... )

Good news. Got a call from US Airways that our bags made it into Philly yesterday. We don't have them yet, but knowing they made it at least that far is good. It's possible they are still going through customs or they could have been sent on to Ithaca already. That part the guy wasn't sure of and was going to look into. Yay, bags!

At 4 am Dublin time (that's 11 pm the night before NY time) we had to wake up so that we could get to the airport two hours before our 7 am flight. It was approx 11 pm NY time when we got home. Yup, 24 hours. I think this is the happiest Alex has ever been to be in Ithaca.
Now for sleep.

I had a guy stop by yesterday about my trees. Apparently, he was driving by and noticed the large pine trees with branches overhanging the house. Since he owns a tree service, he decided to stop by and give me a card in case I'd like the branches removed. This is something I would like to do sometime, but am not sure when I might have the budget ( Read more... )

My graphics card didn't seem to want to recognize the directX install under 7, so I had to run World of Warcraft in OpenGL mode. Suffice it to ( Read more... )

Last week we went to Home Depot to get a shelving system for the kitchen. Alex knew exactly which one he wanted, but when we got there they only had the 4 shelf ones in stock and the display model of the 5 shelf unit. I tracked down a sales guy and after checking to see if there were any in back he told us we could take the display shelf. Ok cool, ( Read more... )

Poker was a lot of fun last night. During hockey season its harder to find free time, but I always enjoy the chance to get together and hang out with friends. Coming out ahead at the end of the night is just a bonus. Nothing says friendship like every innocent sentence being taken as a double entendre.

Woke in the wee hours of the morning with a stomach bug. I'd forgotten how much they suck. I don't even remember the last time I had one. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel human again. I've even managed to eat 3 crackers, woo!
