So last weekend at work, we hiked all day Saturday - from 10 AM til some time after 4. Not sure how many miles we covered, but we did come across some fun spots along the Appalachian Trail, including the aptly named "Knife's Edge." Then, because it could, it rained on us both nights ( Read more... )

One of the four places we visited during our PA/NY/NJ trip yesterday. I'd write about the other 3, but my power just went out and deleted my entire entry, and I really don't feel like writing it all again. Plus I doubt anyone cares where I go anymore.

Apparently it's against policy to use "like new" to describe an item's condition in an auction title. Nevermind eBay itself uses this term in some of its dropdowns to describe items' conditions. Nevermind they don't bother enforcing this policy until someone reports an item. I put something up a few days ago and found out 2 days later it was ( Read more... )

I have some things on eBay this week. All the money I make from them is helping to fund my New England trip next month. Buy somethin' will ya!On Friday night, we found out a screech owl somehow got into our building at work and was hiding out in a pile of tents. It then flew across the room, and a few seconds after I got my camera out, the ( Read more... )

Dakota "the evil bitey dog" will be put down sometime next week. He holds the world record for biting people at this point, I think. As long as I've wanted for this to happen, I find myself feeling bad that it actually is now. Even though it has to be done in this case (and is long overdue, IMHO), it's terrible when something loses its life ( Read more... )

Since it was a holiday weekend, we had less than half the amount of kids we usually do. And we still managed to break 2 of them. On Friday night, one had an intense panic attack and simply would not stop crying. It was so bad we sent him to the hospital and he left for the weekend ( Read more... )

I spent Monday through Wednesday down in the ol' OC. What was originally just a run to get a couch and queen bed became 3 days of fun, trials, tribulations, and many reminders of why I miss and do not miss living at the Jersey Shore ( Read more... )

The cable was out for 2 days. We've had random long-lasting outages since we moved up here, so I decided it was time to have the cable company come out. Well, 5 minutes after showing up, I'm back online. Turns out the filter on the utility pole was bad. Huzzah, internets.

I'm finally on the last Dark Tower book ( Read more... )

I was gonna write about how we almost restrained a kid this weekend, or how this weekend filled me with self-doubt, or how I threw shitty FFXI across the room last night and screamed at Conan til 3 AM ( Read more... )

As of yesterday, my next book is between 1/4 and 1/3 finished. I'm impressed with how much of that I finished in the past 2-3 weeks. I still have a long way to go though ( Read more... )
