Five days off! I had five days off, all in a row! And I didn’t have any place to go! That was really quite a weekend. Even the dog was like, “What? Don’t you have someplace to be?” But I didn’t have any place to be. Well, I wasn’t completely nonproductive. I had to put [...]

How Was Your Halloween, Hon?
November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
For the past few years on Halloween, I’ve posted that picture of my dog in a pumpkin costume, but this year I’ll post a picture of myself in costume. I haven’t dressed up in years, but I decided to do it this year, just for the fun of it. I was all set to dress [...]

Here’s What I Did Instead
September 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
First day after Labor Day, a time when everybody pretends it’s getting close to autumn instead of continuing to celebrate summer, even though summer will last for another three weeks. Or maybe it won’t! This year’s super cool summer weather in our part of the world has resulted in some tinting of the trees around [...]

Every Weekend Should Be a Four-Day-Weekend
July 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, What I Did Last Weekend
Wow, four day weekends are GREAT! Woo! I’ll take another one of those, please. This one was like a regular two-day weekend bookended by another two-day weekend, so I came out of it feeling both socialized and productive. Yay for purpose! As far as socializing, the Fourth of July is always the weekend of a [...]

Holiday Celebrations Galore
December 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend
This is the first time I’ve waited so long for a family Christmas celebration, and I have to say that I’m disappointed with how quickly the rest of the world dismisses the holiday. Trees are lining the curbs and lots of people have taken down their holiday lights. My family has always left all of [...]

Thanksgiving and Tracy’s Decision-Making
November 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia, Travel
Wow, our party for Thanksgiving tomorrow has changed radically in the past few days. Unfortunately, it’s due to deaths in the distant extended family and hospital stays in the immediate family. It’s exactly what you don’t want to have happen around the holidays. So it may be the smallest Thanksgiving we’ve had in many years, actually, but [...]

St. Patrick’s Day
March 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Holidays, Mi Familia
Today is officially St. Patrick’s Day, according to the Catholic Church, because March 17 falls during Holy Week this year. Since Holy Week > St. Patrick’s Day, Holy Week wins. But many March 17 festivities were not moved, although this certainly lets you have the excuse of starting your St. Patrick’s Day celebrating early. Start [...]

Last Post of the Old Year
December 31st, 2007 · No Comments · Holidays
My stomach just does not handle alcohol. I had a glass and a half of champagne two days ago, and still my stomach is rumbling about and groaning. Yesterday, it actually turned over at the sight of food. I always know I’m sick if nausea keeps me from eating. And it might be a stomach [...]

Being All Disjointed and Shit
December 21st, 2006 · No Comments · Holidays
I think I have managed to get Christmas under control. I checked the video game stores in town, but after I didn’t find what I needed, I ordered another one online and I’ll just give it later. I managed to pick up a CD for the person that I didn’t want to buy a CD [...]

It’s That Time Of Year…
December 8th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Back in the Day, Holidays
when you obsess over tracking the status of all of your online purchases, right? Or is that just me? I love tracking packages across the country. I love knowing that something is out for delivery, and that when I get home it will be waiting for me. Even if it’s not something for me, but a [...]
