Well, the tree is up.
The cats may die, but it is officially up. I have chicken-wired the bottom level of branches (underneath, to prevent their upward progress) but I do not know if that is enough to keep them off of it. The 7.5 foot tree is in a location where, if it falls, [...]
So, last night we headed out to Justin and Ashley’s house and met up with them and Nathan and Shannon and we all ended up going to Red Robin for dinner. You should take a peek at their website with the link back there. It’s made by Xylem, the same makers of [...]
I will be taking a break from posting for a little while to enjoy the holiday. Don’t worry, I’ll take notes and have a story or two for when I feel like getting back online.
For everyone reading this, please be safe this holiday and eats lots of food!
Yes, this past Saturday we drove eight hours in one day! We left Austin at 5:30 AM!! with me in the drivers seat and I drove us all the way down to Ray’s wedding. We arrived at 9:30, so we made good timing and Dave slept almost the entire way. With his mouth hanging agap. [...]
My friend, Shannon mentioned in her blog a new craft project that she started which I had never heard of! So I did a little online hunting and came up with a brilliant site which teaches in a very step-by-step manner how to make one! Of course, with TONS of extra fabric [...]
The dinner get-together was great fun with many a laugh! We had quite a crowd over here in this little apartment. There were 9 of us total, and Dave’s ribs were a hit. We are very very sleepy and need to get up very early to drive to Corpus Christi, so I will end tonight [...]
Ah, my favorite snack in all the world, Nori Maki for lunch! Mmmm…..
Life here in my tiny apartment has been a whirlwind of cleaning and re-decorating (which usually means re-arranging the furniture, but not this time! I only re-arranged the curtains!) and getting the kitties ready for a long day alone. They will [...]
I got up this morning no problem. Usually I’m dragging my feet and complaining about it being another day (I am not a morning person) but not this morning. That is, until I got to the nook where the dining table is. Here’s what I found…
Awhile back, we got a cat fountain for [...]
there are more of you out there reading this than I thought. According to the tracker, there were 7 hits today.. of course, 2 of them were me. I’m the only mac user visiting my site so far, and I can tell this because mindspring.com is earthlink.net, our provider and we’re using Safari (which [...]
Wow, yesterday was a whirlwind of clarinet. Mondays are my most packed lesson-teaching days. I had intended to get more of the little stuff out of the way such as putting a couple of bills in the mail, buying a few things I need to make the lava lamp work right, but as it was [...]
Fried pre-Thanksgiving turkey! Thank you, Mark, for that yummy dinner! I will try to post a pic or two on my geocities site within the next week or so.
Dave and I went to see Elf today. What a cute movie. Not being much of a Will Ferrell fan, I was [...]
A half-day! The only thing to make this more enjoyable would be to have David home with me this afternoon! My regular Wednesday load of 10 students is drastically cut to 3 due to the early release. I think I will spend the extra time cleaning… really cleaning, I mean, like dusting-the-floorboads-and-window-washing cleaning. All… probably [...]
WELCOME
