Today was absolutely beautiful. Walking by the hot dog dudes with their charcoal smoke blowing in my face, I had a sudden strong urge to go camping. Definitely need to get that going this summer, and finally drag Nico along with me. I hope he loves it. It's one of my true loves in life... I miss nature ( Read more... )

In my rush to get Brian and Nan's wedding reception DVD burned, I grabbed the wrong cable to bring to work, bought a cable at Circuit City, and discovered I in fact already owned one once I got home (couldn't burn it at work since I didn't have enough HD space....had to use my external). So really, a lot of stress and money for nothing - I did it ( Read more... )

Also, things in general ( Read more... )

So I discovered a website that will pay me to write! Granted, it's a few bucks upfront per piece, and then more money based on number of page views, but still! It's fun, it gives me a bit of extra cash, and it gets me writing again (I know, I should be writing my book, but that requires so much more time ( Read more... )

Weeklong headaches are no fun ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe, after all that planning, that it's over. But really we couldn't have asked for anything better (other than fewer worries about the weather). It stopped raining for two hours, just long enough for the ceremony and pictures. Nan looked beautiful, and what with the music David was playing, as she carefully walked across the soggy ( Read more... )

It's somewhat disturbing to look out your 8th floor office window and see feet dangling...

They are redoing the windows in the whole building. And making a lot of noise, too. That's fine. I'll just blast Josh Groban on my iPod.

A longer update on the wedding (amazing!) will be later, with a link to pix.
