Just a quick Friday update to my LJ peeps.

The year feels like it's flying by.  Things have been really busy- slowly but surely I'm taking care of the stuff I wanted to.  The house is virtually ready to sell- I just need to find time to get to a realtor.  Kaytee graduated from college this past weekend and was home for the week and yesterday I had ( Read more... )

Rainy, Cloudy, Fine todaaaaay!   Happy Wednesday!...

was apparently how I was going to start the post that I never finished yesterday.   I find the "restored from saved draft" option highly amusing.  I tend to write, edit, angst, and edit some more only to end up not posting because I've changed my mind or gotten distracted or just can't be arsed ( Read more... )

I just got an e-mail that my Arashi concert DVD shipped!  *happy dance*  It's going to the parent's house cause I was paranoid about the status of mine so I foresee a late night drive to NM in the near future....

In other news I finally bought and installed my 1.5 TB internal harddrive!  Life is indeed beautiful folks.  The upload and organize my ( Read more... )

Happy Spring!

Japanese lessons this weekend and next, but then 3 glorious weekends to myself for taking care of the ever-growing list of chores.  Honestly, I don't want to wait til April to take care of this stuff, but my neck/shoulder pain has STILL not gone away.  It's liveable and aspirin works wonders, but I'm really worried about what I might ( Read more... )

Tooooooosday.  ^_^

I accidentally wore green today.  I totally forgot this morning that it's St. Patrick's Day but nobody knows I forgot but me cause on a whim I happened to put down the red shirt I was holding and put on a green one instead.  I feel like a party crasher.  Nobody knows I'm not really part of the group but me.  heh heh    

My aspirin is wearing off :(   The pain isn't back at 100% level yet so I'm pretending that I'm getting better while I still can.  You never realize how much you actually use your shoulder/neck until you hurt it.  (or how f-ing heavy your head is)  I'm stubborn though- I refuse to regret doing the floor on my own.  When it's done and for under $200 ( Read more... )

Happy Friday!  My car told me that it was -2 degrees when I left for work this morning.  I was in so many layers that it didn't feel as bad as I expected, but still... brrr!

I woke up to find that the new Arashi singles finally went up for pre-order at cdjapan overnight- and the special editions are already sold out!   I was able to pre-order ( Read more... )

I <3 this icon.  ^__^

I made it into work safe!  Woo hoo!  And best of all, Saturday currently has a 0% chance of snow.   *happy dance*  Winter in New England is survived one day at a time *nod nod*  One more snowy day down and one day closer to spring!  And even closer- a three day weekend!  Thank goodness- I have some serious cleaning to get done ( Read more... )

I thought I had read all the snapple caps by now but I just saw one I'd never seen before:

The first penny had the motto "Mind your own business."

I love it!  A penny with attitude.  They should totally start putting random phrases on pennies- like those taco bell sauce packs!  How much fun would pennies be if they said things like "One is the ( Read more... )

Happy New Year!  Yeah I'm a day late, but lets just say I've made a resolution not to sweat the small stuff.

It didn't really feel like News Years yesterday for some reason and today just feels... bizarre.  It isn't a snow-day/holiday/woot-let's-have-a-fresh-start day, but it isn't a Monday/back-to-routine day either.  New Years on a Thursday just ( Read more... )
