I broke my car...
My car started acting weird. The engine didn't seem to have as much power as I was used to. It made for some interesting situations, like, when you're trying to overtake someone, and you push down on the pedal, and literally nothing happens. And then the 'check engine' light came on, so I was like, "right, not just me, then ( Read more... ) -
"Don't care, it's a wonderful day!"
Omg, I had the best dream! I think it was trying to be a stress-dream, but dream!me just wasn't having it, so it turned out awesome ( Read more... ) -
Lately
Our house is finally finished enough to be considered Completely Finished. Ahhhhh! (We still have to switch out the overhead lamp in the kitchen, because the first one we got was WAY too bright! But a new one should be on its way and yeah, the rest is done, so we're finished, yes ( Read more... ) -
Ooops, I did it again
Sven and I went to the island for my favorite BIL and SIL's shared birthday party. It was a great party, however ( Read more... ) -
High School Memories
Stolen from kiwiria.
Tell us about your SENIOR year of high school! The longer ago it was, the more fun the answers will be!!
My senior year of high school was 1997-98.
1. Did you know your spouse?
No. I didn't meet Sven until the week before my 31st birthday.
2. Did you carpool to school?No. I biked to school - it was on 10 minutes away (if I broke a ( Read more... ) -
Not. Fair.
For the past week, my "musical" neighbors at the office have been driving me especially mad. Between the discordant violin lessons, and the awful honking saxophone, and the near constant piano playing, their kid has been having *screaming hissyfits* several times a day. It's been wild, lemmetellya ( Read more... ) -
July 2.0
Another fretful night. But that's really nobody's fault, because my sleep schedule was completely upended this weekend, so that was to be expected. Still. There were factors that contributed, like the big-ass thunderstorm roiling outside my window. When your *brilliant* curtain solution currently leaves a - well, I'd say a sliver, but 20cm ( Read more... ) -
Is it July already?
I've been awake since 4.30. That is a thing that sucks. This is the second morning in a row I've woken up at some godawful hour. Yesterday was even earlier, but I was able to go back to sleep. Today, not so much. And coffee does nothing for me except stimulate my fight or flight response, so too much would only result in still being sleepy, but ( Read more... ) -
Random snippets
Woke up to a cold sore - on my nose! Ugh! Thank goodness for modern medicine. I'm popping anti-cold sore pills, so hopefully it won't be so bad. Still. This is not a good look, and not too pleasant either. It itches, and whenever I absentmindedly scratch at it, I'm pretty sure I'm making it worse ( Read more... ) -
Greetings from the trenches
Our kitchen STILL isn't done. With a little luck, we're hoping to be finished around the 3 month mark. That is. A long time. To live in your utility room. Yes, we were lucky that we had the space and the amenities, but it got old. And I'd packed for a month and a half, tops, so we've been missing things, running out of things that I didn't feel ( Read more... )
