I’m starting off the new year with a nasty cold that has me completely drained of energy. I felt perfectly fine on Tuesday – enough energy to get through the play (which was incredibly well done – if you’re in the Davis area, go see Chorus Line. It’s worth the money!), plus do a bit [...]
In retrospect, we could have left the tree and all the Christmas decorations up til Twelfth Night, since the distinct lack of communication from the main office of Benthic Creatures has indicated that at least we’re not going to be on the road for one more week. But too late now – we took down [...]
I was doing so well on Saturday, comparatively speaking. Okay, so I was still working on hacking up a lung, but I actually had some energy. I *did* stuff, even if it was only taking down lights. I was up for going out to dinner with friends.
And then Sunday hit, bringing with it the return [...]
I didn’t actually intend to go completely revamping my site. It just sort of happened. I’d gotten tired of the old backgrounds I’d been using for the Childfree-by-Choice site and started poking around in Fireworks to see what I could come up with. And then I opened up this neat swirly purple graphic I’ve had [...]
Because we have two more weeks until we have to go back onto the road, I promised myself that I wouldn’t let those two weeks slip by without doing at least a few things that I want, and a few things that I need to do as well.
To that end, we’ve been happily scheduling this [...]
The good news is that I’ve finally gotten back on my bike again. The not-so-good news is that going several months without once touching the pedals means that I can’t go quite so fast as I once was able.
We did a short ride (about 5 miles) on Monday to and from the grocery store (which [...]
I have this cell phone. This nifty little silver cell phone that fits neatly into the palm of my hand; flips open when I need it to, and sings just like a doorbell (but with a catchy beat behind the notes) when it rings. I got it about a month ago, when we switched to [...]
So. Knitting with seven cats. Or rather, knitting with the specific seven cats that allow us to share their house.
I assumed (ha!) that the main lure of the knitting would be the yarn. After all, it’s an entire roll of tempting string, moving around, no less, as I work. And yes, Sebastian and Tangerine did [...]
As I write this, I am anxiously waiting. I just took some (generic) Sudafed because the box promised that it would relieve the sinus congestion. The hope that this medicine will do the trick so that soon I might actually be able to breathe through my nose again is all that is keeping me from [...]
We watched Reign of Fire this afternoon. It was one of those movies that we both wanted to see because it had dragons, but the reviews were so mixed that we couldn’t justify forking over the bucks to see it in a real theater.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I actually liked [...]
