My good buddy Debra over at Reflecting *hearts* my blog, so I decided to rise to the challenge and respond to her call to action.  I have decided to mercilessly direct link her jpg first, so here’s the badge: The One Word Meme (well, we’ll see about that) Where is your mobile phone?

Today is my last day by myself in this place, so aside from pulling a Tom Cruise in Risky Business, I will be fixing up a few of the easy things that the previous tenants of this house left undone.  On the list is replacing burnt out light bulbs and the missing light switch cover.  […]

Today was a busy day… got to work on time (made the right turn, woot!) and had a very productive day at the office.  I followed that up with transporting one of my coworkers back to the airport car rental place to drop off her rental, and then we went to dinner. My coworker needed […]

Well, I woke up bright and early this morning, ready to greet my first work day at the new office permanently.  As fate would have it, I took a wrong turn and ended up driving around Westminster for 40 minutes or so, eventually finding my way back to my hotel, picking up the trail correctly […]

Tasha and I spent last night on the dubious task of packing up all of my swords from the basement.  It took awhile, and it ended up being much less distressing than I expected.  I woke up by my alarm (all by myself) today, and spent most of the morning telling inanimate objects, rooms, and […]
