Unlike a lot of people, I do not view 2001 as a bad year. It was, all things considered, a very good year for me. Our house was completed in April and we finally got to move in. Richard got to take his dream trip to the British Isles in May. In July, we had [...]
My new end table is cool. Very very cool. There is more surface area on top so the Kleenex box doesn’t have to wrestle with the alarm clock and the phone for space, and there is even enough room for me to have a small stack of books waiting for me to read. The three [...]
At some point in the last two years or so, we managed to acquire a certain toy for the cats. They have a lot of toys, I should point out. Far too many toys, in all likelihood, but what can you expect from seven spoiled-rotten felines? But I digress. This one particular toy is a [...]
I’d intended to take Richard out for dinner to our favorite restaurant Sunday night (his ‘pseudo-birthday), but unfortunately it was closed. So we did that last night – a bit late but ah well.
csIt was a lovely, romantic dinner. We held hands across the table and smiled at each other. And then we [...]
Now that we both have bikes, and both these bikes actually work, I decreed that Saturday trips to Starbucks would have to be by bike (barring nasty weather like the rain we’ve been getting on and off lately). Richard gave me a look and noted that it was an awfully long way to the coffee [...]
We had a party last night. It was a post-holiday party, in that this was as good an excuse as any to have a party, and it was relatively close to the 12th day of Christmas, and we’d planned on having a party in December and then never got our act together enough. So anyway. [...]
This weekend was extremely productive. Because of the party Saturday night, we cleaned the house; even going a bit beyond what normally would have been required simply to get it party-ready. I managed to get the kitchen counters almost completely cleared of all non-kitchen related items, and wiped them down to remove all traces of [...]
Both of our glider rockers have finally been delivered. One was delivered yesterday and the other came today. When we purchased them, we were told we could either take some directly from the warehouse, or we’d have to wait up to ten weeks. Being the impatient sort, we elected to go for the warehouse version.
The [...]
The office where I work is located in a small office complex, with several companies per building. All the companies in one building share the same bathroom. I started working here in October. Since that time, one stall in the women’s bathroom has been out of order consistently, no matter what. I have begun to [...]
I didn’t mention it here because it was only an order. It wasn’t quite the real thing. And there was this little voice inside my head that said not to say anything just in case. In fact, I didn’t tell anyone, not even my parents. Usually I’m the one that has a hard time keeping [...]
