frogs

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

OK, in general, I don't mind that we live in the country, amidst all sorts of wildlife. At night the sounds of crickets and frogs and owls have stopped irritating me and during the day, it's nice that the birds and squirrels entertain the animals. On the other hand, if said ...

bees, bees everywhere

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

We have bees. Lots and lots of bees... and wasps. Where, you might ask? Excellent question. EVERYWHERE. But mainly right at the front and back doors, which means I am not a happy camper when I have to leave the house. Chop checked for nests, and it appears we have a few ...

it's getting hot in here

Friday, April 18th, 2008

When we moved the first time last year (haha), I sold our big air conditioner as the first house had two. This place has two fans, but no air conditioning, and while so far that's been OK, today the high was 70˚ degrees outside and 78˚ upstairs. Downstairs it didn't get ...

why did I think this was a good idea?

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Somehow, after months have passed, I always forget that I really don't like being away from home, particularly when it's for just a couple of days, I end up on a sofa bed (made of nails) and the fellow travelers are stressful. In other words, I am sitting at the airport ...

I'm leaving on Thursday to go hang out with my parents while my dad's at a conference in Philly. While we're there, my mom and I will be traveling to her hometown, putting flowers on the graves of my grandparents and visiting my Nana's best friend Emma... who is in ...

I know I shouldn't post this... but I must. They're back. And can I say, all three on the left are looking kinda hot. :) Um, also, this is more for my sister than me, I swear!

I've been waiting for awhile to talk to my boss about getting a raise. My performance review was today, and I was planning to say, OK, this is what I need. And if they said no, I was going to start looking for a new job. I flipped open my review ...

lmao = no, of course i didn't say a bad word!

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

I recently taught my mom (again) how to instant message. Now, every afternoon at noonish, she IMs me good morning honey! and proceeds to tell me what she's planning to do during the day. And honestly? I LOVE it. Granted, one reason is that she doesn't call me as much anymore ...
