Waterfall and Over

Spring is back! It was eminently enjoyable after a stressful few months to just sit on a blanket in the baskable sun and feel the warmth on my skin.

Donated my hair again, much shorter than I've had it in ages. Looks very poofy and professional the way the salon did it.

Life is stressful, this we know. Lately it's been more than normally so for me. Full of medical concerns for my family, full of financial concerns for the same, and trying to find a place to buy with the boyfriend. I started this blog because I needed an outlet for emotions, ideas, and my imagination. I don't know how much longer I will continue writing about my life or events in it, but I will probably keep posting snippets of fiction, poetry, and other creations for as long as I have them.

Take care all!

To Weddings, Parties, Disasters, and Life

A quick summation of my last 3 months:
- To Panama and back again, having so much fun!
- More work on Tabby, and now she needs a new air compressor, like, yesterday.
- One bachelorette party, one bridal shower, one wedding, all down!
- One bachelorett party, one rehearsal, one wedding, to go.
- One painful glandular/jaw-related infection.
- New computer, though glitchy, now has its wireless problems fixed.
- Haven't been hiking in ages.
- New camera beloved by all.
- Saw 4th of July fireworks from 5 blocks from my house, since they were on the west side of the Hudson (thanks, Henry!) this time.
- Raj-paj got married!
- What, that's not enough to have happened? You want more?






Fine. House in CT is almost done being remodeled!

2008

Long time no write.
New news:
1. I haven't mentioned it before, but I've gone snowboarding three times now, and I absolutely adore it. I dream about it, I daydream about it, and no matter how hard I fall I always want to do more. I wish I could stop falling when I get off the ski lift, though.
2. My lovely boy gave me a Wacom tablet for Birthmas. Having a ton of fun with that one.
3. Two new members to the stuffed animal group: Kelly the frog, named by Emblem and gifted by the boy, and Sharky, designed by Niko and gifted by Sarsie.

Old recaps:
1. In the middle of season 2 of BSG. Shhhh! Don't tell me what happens. Hoping to catch up before March.
2. Wednesday night with the girls is a lot of fun, thanks to some crazy games and crazy girls.

Cool info:
1. Since I was born on a decade year, 20 years before 2000, I can play a little game with my age. On my birthday, I take the first digit of the year ("2" for 2007) and the last digit of the year ("7" for 2007) and get my age: 27. I can play this game until 2010, where I can begin to play another (provided I survive until then): take 20 +10 and get my age. Then in 2011, take 20 +11 and get my...you get the idea. Of course, Salvo can make this claim too. But I knew it way back when I was a kid in 1990.
