To DC, Where a Sister Gets Married

March 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Travel

I didn’t actually miss any work for the weekend trip, but there’s something about being away all weekend that really makes you feel like you have to play catch-up when you return.  So I’m playing catch-up but I’m mostly caught up… here.  Not at home, though.  I’m still behind at home.

I have spent the past few nights reading [...]

Shopping, Movies, Dinner- In Some Kind of Order

March 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering

I had such a great weekend for such a cold weekend… we were supposed to get snow on Saturday.  All the weather people were in agreement about the snow for Saturday, but then it never actually happened.  It sort of blew over us and then dumped a foot of snow elsewhere, which means that we [...]
