Feel Like Funkin’ It Up

March 8th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Movies, What I Did Last Weekend

Mardi Gras!  I swear one of these years I am going to make it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, or at least one of the earlier parades, or St. Joseph’s Day to see the Mardi Gras Indians.  Also, in related news, I need to remember to make my dad record Treme for me when [...]

Snow Days

February 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, What I Did Last Weekend

It is still Monday morning, but barely.  It is definitely still Monday.  And I am making a Monday out of it.  I am trying to hit the ground running, or at least half-heartedly jogging.  I am determined to start back on my diet & exercise regimen after too many weeks off it (the holidays were [...]

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 [...]

Back from an Epic Trip West

September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

I am in a weird place today, somewhere between exhausted and insanely productive.  I guess it’s the fact that it’s a short week at work (just today and tomorrow) after a long weekend with extensive travel, involving time changes. I don’t have to recap much, since all my tweets from Twitter are on here.  Suffices [...]

Last Week Was Crazypants; This Week, More Traveling

August 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

In case you have been sitting in anticipation of a follow-up to my last post, I did not end up buying any shoes or boots.  I am sorry if I caused you any sleepless nights. I guest blogged over at CoMO Whine and Dine today. I have been reading that blog for awhile. Long ago, [...]

On Top of Some Things, and Under Others

August 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Ongoing Projects, What I Did Last Weekend

I had a great weekend- one of those weekends that hit every note.  I love weekends that have the perfect mix of socializing and laziness and productivity, that end with a mostly-clean house and a general feeling of satisfaction.  It has something to do with getting two days off in a row and feeling like [...]

Small Stuff

July 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, What I Did Last Weekend

Middle of July!  I bought a box of Late July brand cookies at Whole Foods yesterday, and then had a think about the graphics on the package.  Am I having a real Late July, complete with lazy beaches and picnics and summer fun?  No, on those marks, I am falling short. But it has been [...]

Tracing That Line

May 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Books, Movies, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

This weather is why I haven’t switched out my winter clothes for my summer clothes.  In August, in the middle of the hottest part of summer, when I think back and wonder why I was still wearing sweaters in mid-May, I am kind of astonished at the idea.  It’s just hard to fathom, as it [...]

In Which I Tell You How Exhausted I Am

May 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Music, What I Did Last Weekend

I am pleased to announce that I did, in fact, manage to ride my bike to work this morning.  It is Bike, Walk, and Wheel Week in Columbia, and I am taking part like a good little citizen.  I have been thinking about doing this for several weeks, but I did not actually get around [...]

A Rainy Weekend

April 26th, 2010 · No Comments · What I Did Last Weekend

I really had a wonderful weekend even though it rained almost nonstop between 11am Saturday and, well, right now.  We got 3.4″ of rain on Saturday.  They said we wouldn’t get much yesterday, but if it stopped raining on Sunday, I didn’t realize it.  It rained constantly. I was able to help out with the [...]
