Catching Up

I knew it had been a while since I posted here, but I had no idea it had been nearly so long. Sheesh. I do have a blog elsewhere that I’ve been using more for my adventures in knitting, but there’s just no way I can keep up with two blogs, so I’ll have to [...]

Miscellany

Thanks to Dawn for mentioning the diet soda popsicles — I finally tried a couple, and they’re fabulous. Except no jokes on mine; maybe next time. I don’t usually go for popsicles of any type — I think it has more to do with having senstive teeth than anything, but thanks to sensitive-teeth toothpaste they [...]

Happy New Year!

I survived the holidays, managed to finally see my grandma and a few other extended family members this past Sunday afternoon, was able to attend a party on Sunday evening and see a few friends (and a couple of their babies, who are adorable), and didn’t have the worst New Year’s ever.
Okay, so I was [...]

Torture Averted

Turns out the weather up north is such that it’s really not a good idea to go up because we might get stuck there for a bit, and that won’t work, so we stayed home. We’re hoping another day, probably next weekend since both mom and I have to work Wednesday through Friday, will be [...]

Happy Holidays?

I was pretty much just fine with the holidays until today. I’m definitely looking forward to a couple of four-day weekends, hopefully having plenty of time to read, play video games, watch some movies, and at least start, but hopefully finish, a birthday and anniversary calendar — I’m hoping it helps me get on track [...]

I [...]

I Don’t Hate Going to the Dentist, But…

So, if I only post every couple of months or so, I bet no one is reading this anymore. I’ll try to do better over the summer! I have a tag from my last post I still need to do too.
I really don’t hate going to the dentist. I really like the one I’ve been [...]

I should never look at my vacation balance.

The thing is, whenever I submit my timecard, I always look to see what my current vacation leave balance is. I’m earning 10.8 hours a month these days, and even with taking a full two weeks off last summer and a full week in February, I’ve got nearly 25 days built up again, especially if [...]

How fair is a garden amid the trials and passions of existence.

–Benjamin Disraeli
So on Sunday, Barb had to stop by the grocery store after church so she could pick up some mushrooms for lunch, and somehow I ended up walking out with a pot of tulips.
In and of itself, that’s not so weird. I love tulips. (They’re not my favorite flower, that would be tiger lilies, [...]

Shoe Shopping

I think I’m going to go shoe shopping after work…shocking, I know.
Hopefully the Famous Footwear in Har Mar has something I’ll like.
