I did have plans yesterday to spend President’s Day doing a bunch of projects that I haven’t done yet, but I did nothing of the sort. I did do one dog walk of the sweet greyhound and the English setter, went to two supermarkets and spent $80, did one last little thing for my taxes that I had forgotten to… (more…)
Yesterday there was one more episode of Downton before going home, episode three of series one, which I described as the butt sex version of Weekend at Bernie’s, (which I am inordinately proud of, though I am certain that I am the 500th person who thought of that particular gag), then came home to get the electronics that needed recycling… (more…)
It was so rainy yesterday, I was miserable when I left the house, but it ended up being the kind of day where it kept starting and stopping, so I really only walked in steady rain for one walk, two were completely rain-free, and one was half and half. the half and half one was Larry the bulldog, who hates… (more…)
About a month ago, my mom mentioned, apropos of absolutely nothing, that she’s like to see The African Queen again.

You may notice that I partially caught up with the Photo of the Day yesterday. I’m still behind, as it is not currently the 31st of January, you might have noticed, but who wants to look at twenty of them all at once? I’ll use that as my excuse and not that I got bored and decided to stop. Yesterday,… (more…)
Just caught up with the last four days of journal entries. I have been very naughty, and I don’t want to get into the habit of having to catch up, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks, writing yesterday’s entry the ne4xt morning. this is because what I want to do is write entries in… (more…)
After work yesterday, Blake and I went to dinner at the diner near his house, which is a real New York diner, 24 hour breakfast, you can get hard boiled eggs without having to beg on your hands and knees, big booths, and, after taking a look around, realizing that we were the youngest people in the place by some… (more…)
I was going to write tonight, but it is absolutely impossible to update when Mom is in the same room, as she just will not stop talking. Also, it’s garbage night, so the trash needs to go out. (cross-posted to livejournal)
