I’ve been dreaming about my grandmother lately.
Only a couple of dreams, but they’ve both been wedding related. In the first, I was rushing around on the day of the wedding. Both IP and I were two hours late to our own ceremony, we somehow hadn’t left my parents’ house yet, and my hair [...]
IP and I have never been big on Valentine’s Day. The first Valentine’s Day we spent living in (not visiting) the same area didn’t happen until 2006 (and we started dating in 2002). That’s not to say that there haven’t been sweet moments that were associated with this day, even as we mock and ridicule [...]
I am so tired. But I am so excited. I cannot begin to describe how much I’m looking forward to being on my own, beginning a wonderful career, and learning the ins and outs of a new city. It’s also a wonderful chance to make new friends and colleagues. It’s also, [...]
Part of me is moaning and groaning that it’s only Wednesday. Another part of me is going, “Holy crap! It’s Wednesday! I start my new job in a week! What am I going to do?” There’s not much I can do but shut up and get working, so that’s what [...]
I have returned to the land of Michigan, having successfully pulled off another boss-dupe, interviewed for a job that would be very busy but rewarding mentally and financially, seen the boyfriend and bought him sangria (though nothing beats Dominick’s . . . sigh), toured a couple of museums, and was buffetted by winds that would [...]
The word from on high is that there will be no Christmas bonus. But they have enough money to spend on the UPS guy.
Sure, the UPS guy only got a loaf of bread, but at they got him something. Springing for chicken and then making us bring in potluck crap? Doesn’t seem [...]
This is what my boyfriend said he needed after spending the entire weekend with me–I sincerely hope it was said in jest! Even if not, I know that I had a ton of fun–I’d detail it, but it’d give away key details which do not need to be given. I did get to see a [...]
Yay, Saturday! Not that I have much to complain about, really; I’ve been an efficient little worker all week long, and no one’s bothered me too much. There was the incident in which I absolutely blew up when I saw someone had capitalized the word "by" in all of their titles in a report (I [...]
So October ends, as does my rest after the half marathon. I’m going to lift weights today and start running tomorrow. My goal? Stay in shape and tone some muscle. Stave off winter fat as much as possible (I seem to do this particularly well–in fact, I tend to gain weight in the summer, and [...]
Gaauuuuugggghhhh.
That’s the sound of me flopping over and dying a theatrical and highly dramatic death. Or, I can do what my sister does when she demonstrates something dying: Loll my head back, half-close my eyes, and go "ugh" in a soft voice that signals a last breath. I can’t do justice to her subtle and [...]
