I've been completely negligent and haven't posted about any of the exciting things that have happened in the last month (like going to NYC to visit Ben's sis or Thanksgiving). Not sure if I'll ever get back to posting about them, though I'd like to think I'll try. For now, though, I just want to note that I'm flying home to Ohio today for an ( Read more... )

So, I realized that I never posted about the marathon or about the wedding.  And I'm not going to now because I've been doing waaaaay too much writing as it is already ( Read more... )

This post is to commemorate the arrival of my new laptop!  FINALLY!  Now, after two and a half months, I finally have a personal computer again!

I have a few posts to catch up on.  Will do that in the coming weeks!

I wrote this while ago at the laundromat and now I'm finally getting around to actually typing it and posting it ( Read more... )

 I can't believe I haven't posted since before leaving for home!   And so now, instead of being able to fully document some of the fun things that have happened, I'm forced to resort to the my list-style posts which aren't quite as insightful.  But, here goes anyway.

OMG the car saga never ends.  Took it for inspection. It failed.  Now we have to choose to either fix the front (apparently rusty) calipers or sell it to someone who wants a car that runs like a gem, but appears to be falling apart at the seams ( Read more... )

 Okay,okay, I know it's been forever since I updated. These weeks have only gotten busier and I'm looking forward to a week that feels reasonably paced. So so much has been happening recently and I'll regret it later if I don't at least get the bare-bones of it down. Last weekend, Mom and Dad DROVE out for a visit. They brought, among many other ( Read more... )

Goodness, it's been so long since I've journaled.  Last week, Ben was in Virginia at new hire training.  He stayed at some gorgeous, remote estate that had a pool and a view of the mountains.  He had a blast. :)  Taking advantage of his already being in the DC area, I flew down on Friday to meet him and we stayed at the home of some friends (for ( Read more... )

Okay, okay, so that last email was way dramatic. Things are better now.  I've even anesthetized that same cage of mice since then without incident.  But, here's a post that I started a week ago that I'm finally posting here.

Egad I haven't updated in so long!  How do the days just slip away so quickly?

It's FINALLY feeling like summer around here ( Read more... )
