In DC

July 7th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Travel, Uncategorized

Context! I finished my trip reports from the trip Out West yesterday and cleaned up the formatting this morning, but I still owe you this, a description of my trip to DC over the weekend.  Maybe you don’t care.  I don’t care if you don’t care.  I write these so that I can remember later [...]

Quarterly Resolutions

April 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, Quarterly Resolutions, Uncategorized

I know!  Neither of us can believe that it’s already April, and one-quarter of 2010 (and 1/40th of this decade) is already over.  Before we know it, it will be 2013 and we still won’t have repainted the front door.  We are lazy, aren’t we? Stuff I Got Done: Open-ended goals: Well, diet took a [...]

Vision and Perception

July 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I just went to the eye doctor and had to have my eyes dilated.  Now I’m at work and I can’t focus on anything less than five feet in front of me unless I have my glasses off.  So my glasses are off, my computer screen is about six inches from my face, and I’ve [...]

Last Post of the Old Year

December 31st, 2007 · No Comments · Uncategorized

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 · Uncategorized

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 [...]

Learn My Lesson Well

December 5th, 2006 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Well, apparently, I can’t come to work at 6:30am. You may be asking, “Why would you want to come to work at 6:30am?” and I would tell you that I don’t know, but it had something to do with wanting to avoid the bad traffic that plagued the Columbia, Missouri, metropolitan area yesterday due to the [...]

The Case of the Missing Sweaters

October 24th, 2006 · No Comments · Uncategorized

So, if you don’t know, or haven’t gleaned from this little blog, I moved about six months ago.  It was a big move of a two-bedroom house and 800 miles, and it was painful and I’m glad it’s over.  I don’t plan to move again for quite some time.  And if I do move, I [...]

So Productive

October 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Such a productive weekend.  You would not believe! Dad and I put up a new garage door opener on Saturday morning.  He did most of the work, of course, but I was very good at anticipating what was needed next, and standing in the right place at the right time, and all of that.  When [...]

Neighbor Stalking

October 17th, 2006 · No Comments · Uncategorized

So my neighbors are, for the most part, a bunch of unneighborly jerks.  Only one of the people nearby has even introduced themselves.  Let alone bake me cookies.  I haven’t gotten any cookies from anybody. Well, maybe calling them jerks is going a little overboard.  I did try to arm their children.  I won’t be [...]

The Trouble With Walk-in Closets…

October 16th, 2006 · No Comments · Uncategorized

is that they leave most of the room for the walking-in. I spent most of the weekend doing load upon load of laundry.  Tracy & I spent time in the past few days trading out the summer clothes for the winter clothes.  Apparently, Tracy decided not to wash most of her winter clothes last spring before she [...]
