Arrrrgggghhhhh! (*shakes spear*)
GirlDetective has started a questionnaire/meme thing on Shakespeare, so I thought I’d join in. So here you go, and enjoy. (I know you are ecstatic, Dad:-) 1. Name the first five lines of Shakespeare that come into your head. (Don?t cheat?write the first five that you think of, then check for accuracy later.) 1) If […]
it ate mine
Dude, I had a great post about dentists/dental work/flying pebbles . . . but Blogger ate it. It just went absolute bonkers on me, just flashing and hooting and eating my words. And I’m feeling too lazy to try to remember it all up again. I’ll write it again some other time, when I’m not […]
April 32nd again
Just writing a quick note here because, just like last year, I want to be able to go back through the archives and say, “Look at what I wrote on my birthday!” So that’s what I’m doing. I bought myself an old guidebook to Paris — in French — for myself the other day, so […]
laundry for engineers
Steven and I have some odd arrangements when it comes to household chores, but none that amuse me as much as our laundry arrangements. When we first got married — and started living in the same abode — I took it upon myself launder both of our clothes heaps. That didn’t last long. Once Steven […]
confessions of a self-proclaimed book nerd
Recently I have found one of the best things about working at a large university is having access to their bountiful library.

Everything should be back to normal once we unpack our last box. We expect this wonderous event to occur sometime this November. _________________________ […]
dental thoughts
Since I have been — and still am — too mentally exhausted to write about our moving experience in a fun and witty manner, I shall give you this lovely piece called “Thoughts @ the dentist whilst the teeth are being picked,” which is leftover from last December. Enjoy. “Ow. ow. ow. ow. ow.” “Eww, […]
Great Big Easter Move Extravaganza
Morning! The Great Big Easter Move Extravaganza is now upon us — we close on the house Monday — and I’m only able to sneak in here to write some cause I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn to check on the storms. No Great Big Easter Move Extravaganza is complete without a major […]
I sold my baby
I drove my Contour to work today. It’s been a while since I drove her last, and I haven’t driven her reguarly since June. As we zip along Hamilton Road with my A-tag dangling on the rear-view mirror, I hope that she isn’t mad at me for what I am about to do. At noon, […]
