In the few interactions I had with her, I was struck by Duchess Arielle's grace and personal strength of character. In many ways, she was the mental image I associated with majesty. I did not know her personally, but I am saddened by her death. (And I'm not at all surprised to see how many others have said variations on the same.) -
This post is brought to you by the letter I for Insomnia
(yuck)
Anyhow: last weekend M. and I drove up to Summer War, and had a good time. Not as many folks from TyD turned out as we thought, but Megan enjoyed it b/c it was melees, and I got to enjoy the lovely weather and say hi to some folks I don't see too often. We just day-tripped rather than camping, and on the way back we stopped for supper ( Read more... ) -
Ugh.
Got back from a (quite nice) weekend up in the DC area to find that our fridge has died ( Read more... ) -
This is why yardwork is a bad idea.
I mowed the front & side yards last week, and finally attacked the back yard this evening. It had gotten long enough that it needed the weed-whacker instead of the lawnmower (since it's a rotary mower, anything much longer than normal clogs it up ( Read more... ) -

...or at least, reality in a form that isn't just work, Megan, dishes, and laundry. I have been living more or less under a rock for the past several months, and I'm working my way out of that. So that's good ( Read more... ) -
Oh and
For the (N-2?) of you who haven't seen me since mid-week, or the (N-3?) of you who don't know, I cut my hair.
Like, short.
For the (N-15?) of you whom this means anything to: slightly shorter than it was at its shortest in high school.
Not green, though. -
Help me, LJ-land! You're my only hope!
So, I’m hoping one of you lovely, smart, helpful people has a better grasp of Excel and/or VBA programming than I do. This is driving me absolutely up a tree. I am more frustrated by this than I have been about anything in Excel in a long time, just because I can’t figure out how to approach the problem, much less solve it.

So, I haven’t been online in some time. Things are busy, as usual. IB12 was this weekend, and it was fun; ran a bake sale to benefit T-y-D’s general fund (which just dropped some money on trailer repairs & loaner gear towards the end of last year) and made close to $150. Got to see and chat with folks, and got some dancing in the evening, which ( Read more... )
