My Fat Cat’s Food Fights

  Now, people have made comments about how big Mochi is, but I certainly wouldn’t use fat to describe him.  He is a little pudgy around the middle, but he is nothing compared to some of the other cats  I’ve seen.  Plus, I thought we were doing pretty good about monitoring how much he eats. Of [...]

And then again…this also feels a little like summer…

  I was at work a bit later than usual this afternoon, and came home feeling a bit burned out and lazy.  Fiddled around on Facebook for a while and then vegged on the couch with my crochet project.  I was going to do a bit of reading after that, but got sucked into FB again, [...]

We’re out!

  Yikes!  What a weekend! K and I spent most of last week preparing to move.  We got most of our stuff boxed.  My brother cleaned the bedroom carpets at our new place.  We took the abandoned cat from the garage to the SPCA to get checked out and get him is shots; we then got [...]

Going home

  Well, I guess the third time is the charm. We heard back from our agent last night–the homeowners have accepted our offer. So, if nothing comes up in the inspection(s), and if all goes well with our loan, we will officially be home owners ourselves in about thirty days. It’s exciting and terrifying at the [...]

Third time’s the charm?

  Offer number three should be submitted sometime early this week.  That means we should know in about a week or so whether or not we are finally going to be home owners.  I’m actually slightly disappointed with this one.  It’s not a craftsman.  It was built in ’41 or something, so not as bad as [...]

Meltdown

  Well, my evening commute just got 10-20 minutes longer, and I haven’t even moved yet. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/29/BAGVOPHQU46.DTL

Reflections on silliness

  One good thing about the state testing is that it does allow me quite a bit of free time.  Even when I have to supervise students, I can get quite a bit of work and reading done if I’ve got a good group.  Today’s group is just mediocre–nice kids, but too talkative.  Plus, they aren’t [...]

More of the same.

  The weekend was pretty good, considering. K really did take me to see Vacancy.  He realizes that he owes me for this one, so I need to keep an eye out for movies that I’d really like to see that I normally would just wait to see on video. I got both sets of drawers [...]

Feeling a bit overwhelmed

  Well, I’ve got yet another busy weekend ahead of me, but first, the good news: My Costume College packet arrived yesterday!  Woohoo for the US postal service for getting mine to me on time this year!  Both mine and mom’s arrived yesterday, so I stopped by the house to pick it up this morning and [...]
