Long, Long Long*

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

It has been a long week.  Long. And…long.  And yet short. Isn’t that always the way?  When you’re in it, you think “how could it only be fifteen minutes? Haven’t I been sitting here for a couple of hours now?” and then all of a sudden you’re all “hang on, it’s time to stop for [...]

Not Much Longer Until NaBloPoMo!

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Is anybody else really looking forward to this year’s NaBloPoMo?  I mean, sure they’ve expanded it so you can do it every month if you want and then there’s that whole Blog 365 thing (that I failed MISERABLY in 2008) but for me November is always NaBloPoMo month.  And I am really looking foward to [...]

Blogging From the New Computer!!

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I didn’t quite mean to give my title a second exclamation point but now that I’m sitting here, it seems kind of appropriate.   If you follow me on twitter (and you should, seriously, I’m awesome) you’ll know that we went to Fry’s (the electronics fan’s wet dream).  We came home with two monitors.  Two big [...]

Can You Tell I was Raised (mostly) as an Only Child?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

My current template isn’t set up to display the time of my posts so I will just tell you that it is after midnight.  It is after midnight and I am still awake.  Heck, I’m not just awake.  I’m still up and moving around!  And so is Will!  We got the parts for the fancy [...]

Dear Immune System,

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

You and I have inhabited the same body for more than thirty years now and I have a question.  Why can’t I ever just get a head cold?  Why must every sniffle become a cough? Seriously I.S. what’s up?  As soon as I started to feel the sniffles take hold last week I swore off [...]

Catching Up

Monday, October 12th, 2009

I got through the major caffeine withdrawals just in time to come down a cold.  Will and I spent most of the weekend sprawled out in the living room moaning and sniffling and snuffling and blowing our noses.  Incidentally? When my left sinus gets clogged and I try to keep blowing my nose anyway?  I [...]

No Blue Sticks Yet. Keep Your Nickers Untwisted Please.

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Now that we are married quite a few of our relatives and friends are all over us like rice pilaf on a junior high school cafeteria wall to get with the babymaking.  This is partly our fault.  We let it slip to a few people that we would most likely start “trying” soon after the [...]

Learning As We Go

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Today was my first day working out of our makeshift home office and? It was grand.  I say that it is still makeshift because we are still in a little bit of limbo on our office equipment.  We’re waiting for some financing to come through so we can buy a new mega-awesome-fancy-schmancy-computer-of-the-gods that we can [...]

Getting Stuff Done!

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

I know, I know.  I punch myself in the face for not posting more often and then don’t post anything for almost a week.  I have no excuse except to say that the business of getting married is time consuming, yo.  I know, I know, there are plenty of other bloggers who are able to [...]

Not The Wedding Post Yet

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I am still working out the post about the wedding in my head.  What I am coming to realize is that the process of getting married, contrary to what I thought and hoped for, does not stop with the wedding and reception.  I’m not talking about the maturing of a relationship, that’s an entirely other [...]
