My stint as the breadwinner in the house is over before it began — IP is gainfully employed once again. The job sounds fantastic, the salary is apt for someone of his experience and skills, and it means this one thing . . .
I GET MY LIVE DOVES!!!!!1111!!!!!1111
Or at least IP will stop giving me [...]
The recipe is my mom’s; I had meant to show the process as I was making them, but it doesn’t really work when you’ve got salsa de enchiladas slathered all over your hands. *The* IP and I will have this for dinner, followed up by his birthday ice cream cake. I will sing “Happy Birthday” [...]
Happy birthday to my fiancé, who is a sprightly 34 (thirty-four; treinta y cuatro; trentaquattro; trideset četiri; třicet-čtyři; fire og tredive; vierendertig; tiedonhaku-ja neljä; trente-quatre; vierunddreißig; tριάντα τεσσερα; trettifire; trzydzieści cztery; trinta e quarto; treizeci şi patru de; тридцать четыре; trettiofyra) today. Many happy returns from your 30-year-old fiancée, who adores the hell out [...]
Oh, Spindly-Legged Couple. Why do you even try?
The Spindly-Legged Couple, mentioned on this blog only in comments, is an tiny yet interesting aspect in the lives of my dear fiancé and I. The SLC are what could be considered neighbors, but they do not live in our building; they live a few buildings [...]
The search for the perfect wedding dress has begun, but I’m hesitant to visit an actual bridal shop until we have the date set in stone (or contracted, as it were). We should have that in place by the end of September, so I can probably begin visiting shops around the DC area sometime [...]
Wedding planning so far has been, as I predicted in my last post, alternatively stressful and fun. Fun part! Knowing who your bridesmaids are immediately (little sis Dorkus is my maid of honor, my good friend L from my Dyn-o-mite! days is my bridesmaid). Stressful part! Realizing you know way too many people and happen [...]
On Monday, July 21, 2008, at approximately 9:20am HST (3:20pm for you in EDT), I turned to IP and asked him if we should move on to our next overlook at the World Botanical Gardens. We had just finished viewing the Umauma Falls, three-tiered falls within the garden. A man, another tourist, had just chatted [...]
Thanks to a wonderful vacation and a long flight home, IP and I woke up about 15 minutes ago. The vacation was, simply put, awesome; I will have to do another post to do it justice, because it definitely contained some memorable moments that I won’t soon forget (and not just because it’s still so [...]
I continue to revel in gadgetry and that wonderful new car smell. Dealing with gadgetry first, the Garmin foot pod has been delivered to my front door, waiting for me to scoop it into my loving arms when I get home from work today. The foot pod allows me to wear the Forerunner [...]
Sitting in our condo parking lot is a lovely, new 2008 Mazda3. IP and I picked it up yesterday after signing a multitude of papers and clearing up our insurance issues, driving off into the noonday sun (or lack thereof) in a little bit of disbelief. It hadn’t even been a week since our adventures [...]
