Earlier this week I went through and cleaned out some of the names on my friends list. I tried to limit it to people who haven't updated their LJs in forever, etc. If I deleted you and you're really heartbroken, accept my humble apology and let me know to re-add you to the list.

Every day when I get home from work I take off my coat/sweater, kick off my shoes, and put on my slippers. Yesterday I wore a blue zip up sweater and sneakers. It hadn't struck me until just then (the zipper helped), but I really should start singing "it's a wonderful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be mine ( Read more... )

I just spent way too many hours playing all the way through Super Mario Brothers 3. I need to beat the castle on level 7 and then I'll be on the final level baby! Thanks, Wii, for bringing back my childhood to me. I wish I could aim those brain cells that still remember the placement of all of the 1-ups to focus on something more useful, like ( Read more... )

I got a car. More accurately, I'll be getting another car (fingers crossed!) the weekend after next ( Read more... )

Oh man so I haven't even gotten around to posting about my trip to Ireland. It's forthcoming, I hope! Just rest assured that it was magical. We traipsed around the city for a day then took a drive up the coast to the cliffs of Moher, drove back around and through Galway, and stayed at a bed and breakfast, and just generally had a blast. The ( Read more... )

It's a good thing that I just got all excited about my trip to Ireland and pulled up my e-ticket itinerary to stare at it and drool...it turns out that I'm leaving on Tuesday afternoon instead of Wednesday. It would have been a total bummer to start packing on Tuesday night only to realize that I missed my flight. Gotta work on this being a grown ( Read more... )
