The sky Monday night was awash in pink and gold and purple as I drove home. I wanted so badly to stop on the side of the road and just watch as the sun set, but I had to be somewhere and I was already speeding in order to make it. So I had to […]
After all this time I couldn’t stand it any more. It keeps coming up on radio, snippets of news here and there, luring me in even as I try so desperately to ignore it and not care. But I am weak. I succumbed.
I watched Survivor last night. Richard and I curled up on the couch […]
I took my car in for an oil change today. While I was there, the mechanic mentioned that I was closing in on 30,000 miles, and that meant a major checkup to the tune of approximately $500 that I had to look forward to. My first thought was - how on earth did I manage […]
There is a cat in my hall bathroom. She has been there nearly two weeks now, although there are times (more often than not, lately) that it feels she has been there a lot longer than that.
She is sick, and that’s why I have her. Her owner - a friend of mine from PernMUSH - […]
My new manager decided that my practice of taking the laptop to my ‘real’ office and downloading email only once a week or so just wasn’t going to do, and unlike my previous manager, and the folks I deal with on a regular basis from my company, she isn’t willing to work with alternate email […]
This afternoon as I was prattling on about these really neat paper dragons Richard and I have been putting together, my mom wondered aloud exactly when she and my dad would get to see them, since she’s been hearing about them ever since we started on them, weeks ago. I caught the hint, a bit […]
I’m regularly working 10-15 hours per day on this project. We’ve entered crunch time - development is at frantic pace, and we’re all overworked and over tired. I come home too exhausted to want to do much more than poke at my keyboard. I have things to do around the house that I just never […]
Friday morning I was late for work, but there was a really good reason. I had to drive out to sign the paperwork finalizing the construction loan. The final appraisal of the house plans was finished and now we had an amount we actually get to borrow….so after the bank is done with all the […]
Ever since I purchased the stone dragon and named her ‘Rhyme’, she has needed the obvious mate. Richard and I agreed that we would find him together, no matter how long it took. I did find the identical dragon when I was at DragonCon in Atlanta a while back, but I remembered the deal - […]
Okay, I admit it. I lied. It wasn’t intentional. You’ll have to believe I did my best. I said I wasn’t going to watch again but I couldn’t help myself. Despite my best efforts, it got the better of me. I wanted to know. I *had* to know. I was sucked back in, but at […]
