Get that the sound isn't bad in writing from my downstairs neighbor, and put down a nice throw rug. After all of that...I am asked to put down a throw rug. Seriously! More posts to come.

So...I got a letter from my HOA about 3 weeks ago, telling me that I had illegally put in hardwood floors, I needed to "rip them out and install carpet" to keep the value of the property up, and that I had to do this by the 25th. I knew I was going to be out of the country literally for most of that time, and there's 1, no way I could find carpet ( Read more... )

So, Chichen Itza is petitioning to be listed as the 7th Wonder of the World. I really wasn't aware that this was an option. New 7Wonders of the WorldHere are a few pictures of my trip there.

My head is congested, and there are a hundred colourful ways to describe it that I would rather not use, as it's a little gross. I have a weird feeling that I was either infested with fleas, spiders, or I have shingles. I'm ( Read more... )

So, this is the longest work week I think I've pulled in 4 days in a while.  Average work day 8am - 1am, with a 3 hour break for dinner/food, and a little tv.  These 4 days included me having stomach flu for 2 days, and working through that, no naps, or if I did, I ended up working into the even more wee hours of the night past 1.

So...what have I been up to? According to my LJ, not a whole lot. According to the rest of my world, it's been a lot of work, some good cooking, and a touch of romance ( Read more... )
