Happy birthday to my LJ! Today marks the fourth anniversary of my start in internet bloggery. Wow. For most of that time, I've been pretty regular in updating, both through the long and short of it (mostly long). Lately, I have not been ( Read more... )

I hadn't been on one in a while. I think San Diego and Vegas two-and-a-half years ago for Jesse's betrothal was the last time, and that sure was great and fantastic and hella-fun. But that even had a purpose. I wouldn't have just gone out there, if it weren't for the event. But this holiday season was the first vacation who's sole purpose was ( Read more... )

Well, well, well, it's a new year! After a stellar 2006 -- The Great, in fact -- I say it's onward into The Great '07. Who says you can't have two great years in a row? There's always room to look up for the good things ( Read more... )

Well, it's been nigh past two weeks since my last post. I suppose I'm always "busy," whatever that means! Anyway, milestones have happened in the past week, indeed ( Read more... )

Mindy and I just got home from seeing The Holiday with Marisa and Katie. I guess it opened tonight -- it's that new romantic comedy with Kate Winslett, Carmeron Diaz, Jack Black, and Jude Law, and it was really good! Of course, anything half-British is worth gold and you know me and romantic comedies, but this was good in it's own right. She and ( Read more... )

And once again, I'm sick. I hate it. It never is too miserable, but I always forget what it's like to be sick and I never expect to be that way, so I guess it's the surprise of being sick that I don't like. The only sickness I know I don't want to mess with is the flu. That blows. But anyway, I'm totally congested, I can't hear too well, my ( Read more... )

Over the Thanksgiving break, Mindy and I saw two movies, which I hadn't done for a long long time. I quite enjoy watching movies, it's just that with Mindy I'd rather do most anything else, cause I don't much feel like sitting next to her for 2-plus hours without talking or spending real time with her, if you understand what I'm saying. I choose ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving was last night, incidentally. You may have celebrated. I know I did. I alternate between my parents' houses each year, because I refuse to play favorites and it's not fair for me to have to decide, so this year I went with Dad and Christine to Oma's. It was nice. I got there a tad late because I didn't realize "you can come at 2, ( Read more... )

Is a p.o.s. Albeit, a sweet, green, fast and awesome p.o.s. Maybe a month ago, or something like that, I was driving home late one Monday night from Mindy's, when my car overheated and smoke started spewing from its innards. I noticed it had been running hot earlier in the day, but I didn't know how that compared to its usual temperature, cause ( Read more... )

Is absolutely amazing. She's beautiful, brilliant, hilarious, caring, fun, and I'm completely and madly in love with her!!! I don't think I've ever been this happy, and meeting her is the best thing to ever ever happen to me. AND, yesterday was our Two-Month-iversary already! I suppose 8 weeks may sound brief, and I suppose it is, but it doesn' ( Read more... )
