Continued holidays! So many holidays! This is my third and last day of work this week, and I am off again soon for another long weekend. I didn’t start padding my holidays with long weekends until last year, maybe, or the year before. I used to just work every day if I didn’t otherwise have [...]

Keeping Warm When It’s Cold
January 26th, 2011 · No Comments · In Summary, Pointless Updates
I have really been feeling the cold this year. I don’t know if it was the extra few pounds of weight loss last summer, some of which I gained back anyway, or if it’s just that it’s colder this year, but I recognized in November, before we’d even had any cold days, that I was [...]

Ending the Holidays
January 12th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, In Summary
I am so behind. I had lots of great ideas for how I would start the New Year off right, all sorts of resolutions about blog posts, and then I got sick and then I had to go away for work, and now I’m barely resurfacing after finally getting a full night’s sleep on a [...]

All Lit Up Like A Christmas Tree
December 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Holidays, In Summary, What I Did Last Weekend
Every blog post from now on will begin with some groveling and whining about how long it’s been since I last wrote anything. That should be entertaining, shouldn’t it? Or can we just take it for granted? The reason I’m not writing is that I’ve Met Someone, and that Someone is taking up a big [...]

Post-Halloween, Pre-Thanksgiving, Holiday Season
November 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Holidays, In Summary
This fall has involved a lot of blog neglect on my part, but I put up a post at the retro blog today (see post below) and will finally eventually blog about the end of my 365 project at the photo blog later this week. Really, truly, maybe! I’m just super busy these days, and [...]

How I Came To This Momentous Decision
September 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · In Summary, Television
Tracy has commented more than once in the past couple of years how much I have changed since I met her (lo these many years ago). Another nail in the coffin that was my 20s? I cancelled my TV service last week. I have been a big-time TV watcher for a long time. I don’t [...]

It’s July and I Am Home
July 1st, 2010 · No Comments · In Summary, Travel
It is July and I am home again. No, I have not yet finished my trip reports from the Out West trip earlier this month! I did spend a lot of time writing, though, and I am not far from having those finished and uploaded. They just take forever to write. Much longer than you’d [...]

Home Again
June 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · In Summary, Travel
Home! Home, home, home. It’s alien and raucous, home. It felt weird to drive into Columbia on Thursday night after driving through so many other cities and towns and states and highways. I drove so much and so often that I had callouses on my thumb and index finger on my left hand. Weird, right? [...]

Rave: Buying Glasses Online
March 19th, 2010 · No Comments · In Summary, Rants/Raves
Okay, I am officially recommending the practice of buying prescription glasses on the internet. I have bought three pairs (3!) in the past 3 months, and all of them have turned out pretty well. In total, I spent less on three pairs than I spent on my last pair of replacement lenses (not including frames) [...]
