“I Still Say A Video Game is Just as Powerful as a Book”

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

That quote? Is from my fiance who said it to me just now.  I did not sigh heavily or make fun of him, though it was tempting.
One of the best things about the PS3 is that it does so many things.  It plays games.  It plays Blu-Ray movies.  It plays regular DVDs.  It goes online [...]

The belated Christmas Wrap-Up

Monday, December 29th, 2008

You know what’s super fun? When someone asks you what you want for Christmas and you say “please don’t get us anything because we can’t afford to get you anything right now” and they turn around and give you a PS3! Will’s sister Missy rocks!
Will has been begging for “permission” (hello, I am my fiance’s [...]

4 & 5

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

If you have known me or if you have been reading my blog for a while you already know that my anniversary (today) has always been…bittersweet.
Five years ago today my friend Abbott died in a car accident.  I don’t talk about the accident much or the time that followed it.  I do still tell funny [...]

Change in Plans

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Happy Holidays!
As it turns out, the in-laws will not be coming up to us after all.  Instead we have been “asked” to drive down to them (in Southern Oregon).  So we will be leaving in the morning and the plan is to come back on Thursday morning, but that isn’t set in stone.  It could [...]

Repertoire Increased by 100%

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Internet,  I have just finished my first crochet hat! And it fits! And it’s red and soft and will keep my head warm!
I am very very proud of this hat and am thinking of having it framed.
Now I know how to make TWO things with crochet.  If I wasn’t all “blecccchhhh I am sick pants” [...]

Sunday Wrap Up

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Saturday was Will’s birthday!  Yay! He turned 27 (am so robbing the cradle)!  I wanted to have a big hullabaloo (as big a hullabaloo as the two of us could do by ourselves anyway) because it really has to suck having a birthday in the same week as Christmas.  I wanted his birthday to be [...]

Never Doubt IKEA

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Will and I did everything we could to avoid having to go to IKEA.  We don’t have anything against IKEA.  In fact we really like IKEA.  But IKEA? Is twenty miles away and involves a trip over an icy bridge in icy weather and getting home any furniture purchased there would involve the borrowing of [...]

Sometimes You Just Need To Vent

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Seriously folks, sometimes you just have to write down every single thing that is bothering you and then highlight and erase it all.  I just wrote a very very very long entry in which I listed every single freakin’ thing that has been getting to me over the last few weeks because my whole self [...]

Playing Around…

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I’ve been playing around with Facebook stuff to see if I could get it to update whenever I post a blog.  This is kind of taking a while.

To Do List

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

There is roughly a week left before the in-law invasion of 2008 begins and in that week, Will and I have to accomplish the following:
1.  Find a futon or couch  that will fold out into a bed that is at least full sized if not queen sized.  Why? Because both Will’s Dad and Will’s Dad’s [...]
