David and I are trying to figure out how we will be able to afford a trip to the east coast in a month for a wedding. This will be our first vacation since our honeymoon, so we’re hoping to be able to do some touristy things and drive up to Washington D.C. which will [...]
well, I signed on to blog about the geraniums my husband bought me on Wednesday which I planted yesterday (at the cost of three mosquito bites) in mounted planters on the railing of the balcony… but I got distracted by Gmail which is being offered to blogger account holders. [...]
What a wild week… I’m back in the ol’ Saturn L again… “The Blue El” is what I heard a lot of at the dealership while waiting for repairs. It gave the service guys a hard time. They replaced the steering column and gears, the right hub and bearing(s?), did an alignment and cleaned out [...]
The blue 4 door saturn L is hurt… but being fixed! It is sleeping in Waco tonight and Sunday night and maybe even Monday night while a HUGEnormous Chevy TAHOE is transporting me in its place.
The blue car had a bad power-steering column, which they replaced. There was still some humming, though, so [...]
My pictures from Zilker Park on Monday are scanned in. The scanner does a beautiful job… the pictures have not been edited by me yet… those are straight off the scanner! I have about 25 more pictures, but due to the lack of light, most of the ones not scanned in came [...]
I (this is Jen) have finally diagnosed a pattern in the problem which has progressively gotten worse with my car (the blue one). While driving, the car has this loud vibration kind of noise which seems to be related to speed, but not RPMs. Starting at around 45 mph, becoming surprisingly loud at 47 mph, [...]
I’d like to chime in, since I’m mentioned in this post. I won’t go into near as much detail as Mark did, but I’ll explain my Chipotle preference for the world (or at least our little portion of it).
The year was 1999. I had just moved to Evanston, Illinois. [...]
Yesterday, my brother and I traversed Zilker Park with our big cameras in hand in hopes to capture some good pictures the old fashioned way–on film. I didn’t take the digicam (digital camera) because I didn’t want to be tempted with instant access to images. I didn’t take the film to a 1-hour place because [...]
Easter weekend is always when my little brother comes to visit for the weekend. His first Easter with us was in Chicago. That was a blast. I don’t think we will be able to top that one… but we tried:
We spent last night with the Millers for
It’s only one o’clock and I’ve already sketched a quick sketch from my imagination which I posted for your enjoyment. I am by no means happy with the shape of the face, but for a quickie sketch, it turned out quite nicely. The nose is too long and the [...]
Yesterday was the CPMS Band DC Festivals trip to Dallas. Our alarms were set for 3:00 a.m. and after much being sick on my part, we left for the school around 4:30 a.m.. We got to the school and David worked with the kids to make sure all the percussionists [...]
