As promised: PICTURES! Love ‘em while you’ve got ‘em, because I’m going to delete this post in a few days. Having full-face pictures on the internet makes me uneasy, but these are just too good to pass up.

Did You Hear That?!?

That was ME, WHOOPING for JOY!
I came home from teaching this afternoon to find that my husband had come home for lunch and…

…installed my new keyboard and power button! I’m back on MY computer with MY bookmarks and MY files and MY mail program! It’s like I’ve been given a limb [...]

PHEW!!

Well, thank GOD for small miracles!
It turns out that the battery switch a couple of weeks ago DIDN’T kill my computer, as we’d feared. After much tinkering by both computer repair guys (which amounted to exactly zero useful information) and my husband (who, genius that he is, figured out what the real problem was), [...]

The Darkness…

I forgot that with the end of Daylight Savings Time comes the early darkness. It’s five minutes past five and pitch black outside. Pretty soon, it’s going to start getting dark at three thirty in the afternoon, and I’ll be gripped with an almost impossible-to-resist urge to crawl into my pajamas. I’m [...]

Sunday Love

I teach two classes at the health club on Sunday mornings: a step class that runs from 8:30-9:30 and a yoga class that runs from 9:30-10:30. I’ve been teaching these classes for years now - I forget how many, really - and nearly every single Sunday morning, my beloved has rolled over as I’ve [...]

Fall Back

Daylight Saving Time ends tonight. I always feel strange this time of year: I dread the impending winter with the cold and snow and the darkness that comes ever earlier, but I LOVE warm sweaters and woobie socks and the holidays.
And the extra hour of sleep I get tomorrow morning.
Today - or, rather, tonight [...]

Items of No Particular Note

So, I really don’t have anything interesting or exciting to say, but I feel the need to write, so you get this:
*While on a whirlwind vacuuming tear across my house yesterday, having finally gotten fed up with the bits of dried leaves, myriad spider webs, and cat hair tumbleweeds, I found Beanie’s home folder! [...]

Kizz’s List, #15: Friends

(author’s note: I reserve the right to re-visit this list item. I am profoundly blessed in the friend department and don’t think I can limit my posts on the subject to just one.)
I spent yesterday with someone I love and care for very much, and I’m feeling so much better for it.
WeedWoman is [...]

Le Chat Noir

In many things, my beloved and I have a very yin-yang thing going on. He is very often quiet and reserved and I am, well, not - at least, not often. He is math and science smart and I’m all about the language and the literature. He wants to know HOW things [...]

The replacement battery for my laptop, one that’s not supposed to be prone to, well, explosion, came on Thursday. Thinking that it was a good idea to have a stable battery in my computer (he’s sweet like that), my husband removed the old battery and replaced it with the new one.
I was planning on [...]
