No solace in being right…

  I was right: I didn’t get any sewing done.  Oh, well.  We didn’t even go for that test drive, I was simply too tired out at the end of the day. I did manage to run over to Michael’s before going to the gym to pick yarn for some new projects.  They have this fabulous [...]

So much to do.

  Tonight is supposed to be my sewing night, but I have a feeling that’s not going to happen.  I must go to the gym at some point tonight.  K and I are probably going to test drive a car (not to buy–we got one of those incentive deals where they’ll give you a gift card [...]

Random pics

  Since I finally uploaded photos, just thought I’d share. Kitty cuteness They actually do this quite often, where they fall asleep and one of them will drape a paw over the other one.  I tried to sneak up on them and take this pic while they were sleeping, but the noise of the camera turning [...]

Productiveness of a different sort

  I had a meeting after work yesterday, which I’m at least sort of glad I went to.  I feel like I actually had some important contributions to the discussion, plus, I’ll get paid for my time.  Yay! After the meeting, I ran over to my parents house to pick up my dad’s portable PA that [...]

Feeling productive

  Last night was great.  I feel like I got so much accomplished.  Wish every evening could be like that. I made dinner as soon as I got home since K was going to have to leave again for a meeting.  After dinner, I did a bit of crocheting until K had to leave, and then [...]

Taking the Plunge

  Well, that time of year has arrived…the time I’ve been both anticipating and dreading.  Community college openings have been posted and the deadlines are quickly approaching.  I’ve started tweaking my resume, but I really have no clue what a strong resume should look like.  I feel like such a dunce when it comes to marketing [...]

I miss Dreamweaver

  I also miss having a computer that feels like it is mine.  I don’t really want to go through the trouble of loading things onto a computer that I’m only going to have for a few more months.  But then…I also miss my iTunes.   I had a whole day of grading yesterday during which I [...]

Conspiracy theories

  Do you ever feel like events are conspiring against you? K came down with some sort of cold last weekend, so I spent a lot of the weekend taking care of him and the rest of it taking care of other little things that needed doing or that I had committed to.  Then, Sunday night, [...]

A Stitch in Time

  Well, one flounce is done.  Two more to go.  I decided to just do three tucks, mostly because I was running out of length.  Should be fine.  I like how it looks, I think.  It looks kind of plain right now, but it will be better once I get the fringe on there and then [...]

Not what I expected

  So, I’ve been reading I Am Legend. It was one of the very few horror movies K has taken me to that actually interested me. Yes, it is still very scary, but it also has an interesting plot. My interest in the book was further peeked when I read a brief summary in 501 Must-Read [...]
