Stuff
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed ( Read more... ) -
Sad News, Happy News
I had a very hard time posting about this, but we had to put EdGrr down over Labor Day weekend. He was almost 13. It was a very hard decision, but he was in a lot of pain.

Weekend and maybe school!
My weekend was a lovely combination of busy and relaxed. We've started half-day Fridays at work again, so I was able to sneak out of the office at 11:30 am. I do love this perk! There was a lovely lunch and afternoon with Thomas, followed by a Friday night filled with slack.
Saturday I got up eventually and headed off to the wilds of Cottage ( Read more... ) -
Sudden inspiration
Suddenly, I'm feeling inspired to post! We'll see how long this lasts.
Currently, I'm very excited that our household is going to make another attempt at Chore Wars. I always wanted a chore chart with stickers as a kid. Someone has kindly made one for gamer geeks! I've already collected 6 XP by taking the trash cans to the curb and back into the ( Read more... )
