• All good things must come to an end…

  January 26, 2014

  And one of those things is OD.  I've been here since 2002, and have made so many friends along the way - I will never forget this place, nor will I cease to miss the people who have disappeared from it over the years.  That being said, I know a good many people are heading to ...

• I’m alive!

  April 12, 2013

  Not that I think anyone is actually reading this - or if you are, you probably already know I'm alive because we're FB friends (and I still do occasionally note here).  I just got wrapped up in school and other craziness and haven't been motivated to write for the past five mo...

  You guys, my husband is awesome.  And do you know why? Even though we've been saying forever that  once we got down to two dogs, that was where we would stay because that is a reasonable number of pets (not to mention the cat, plus the outside cat that I've started feeding who now think...

  Today I was uberproductive.  For years, our living room has doubled as the kids' playroom, resulting in constant chaos that drives me mad.  We have a finished room in the basement that's basically unused - it does function as our guest room on occasion, as my brother-in-law built a murp...

  Tomorrow we're off to DH's mom's house for Thanksgiving.  It's a bit of a relief not to have to cook this year - though I did make pumpkin cheesecake and coquito (Puerto Rican coconut eggnog) tonight, and I'm making green bean casserole to take with us tomorrow. Went to Babyland Ge...

  Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!  (To my international readers, Happy Thursday!) We had dinner at my MIL's house, and I literally ate so much that I was ill.  That was three hours ago and I'm just beginning to feel normal again.  It was delicious but I really mu...

  Another NoJoMo fail.  Oops!  I was so busy on Friday that I couldn't find the time to write, and then Saturday I came down with a cold and felt pretty nasty up until yesterday.  Poor DH hasn't been sleeping well due to my incessant cold-related snoring!   Anyhow, not much to r...

  Today I'm going to the Twilight Marathon.  Yes, I'm slightly mortified, but it's going to be a lot of fun because I'm going with my friend H, and we are both giddy with the prospect of a child-free day at the movies!

  New obsession: Angry Birds Star Wars.  I let David play it for a little while during Sophie's piano lesson today, but now I'm the one who's obsessed.   Survived another day.  Tomorrow is actually going to be fun!  But I'll write about that tomorrow - if I can ge...
