I did actual work yesterday

I&#039m not at home where my quotes document is and I&#039m not in Brad&#039s office too look at his quote book, so no quote today. I&#039m at work though, and other than stopping to take a break to type this up, I&#039m doing actual work for now. Continue reading

Yoga and Pilates

Ouch –Erin Doyle

Well, I&#039ve been meaning to get into some sort of shape for a while now (other than pear-shaped, thank you), so I&#039m trying to get in the habit of doing one or both of my exercise videos. One of them is on VHS so I roll the exercise mat out in the living room for about thirty minutes, and the other is on DVD so I roll the exercise mat out here in the bedroom for about twenty minutes.

7th anniversary

Happy seventh anniversary, Baby Doll!

Today Ian and I celebrate seven years together as a couple. We started dating May 23, 1997, and even though we didn&#039t get married until September 7, 2002, we still prefer to celebrate the May date because that&#039s how long we&#039ve been committed to each other. Continue reading

Mon roman

&#034Who wouldn&#039t want a dick with lasers?&#034 –David Crowder

Vous savez, je veux vraiment écrire dans mon roman, mais je n&#039ai pas pris du temps et je suis si près d&#039en finir aussi! You know, I really want to write in my book, but I haven&#039t taken the time and I&#039m so close to finishing it too! Continue reading

Saying goodbye a third time?

&#034The family that picks on eath other, sticks to each other.&#034 –Erin Doyle

Yeah, so I&#039ve decided that there&#039s really no point in ever actually saying goodbye to anyone. Here I was all mopey that I wasn&#039t going to see Tom or Nick again, then I saw them both again. Continue reading

On rain

&#034For I have seyn of a ful misty morwe

Folowen ful ofte a myrie someris day.&#034
–Geoffrey Chaucer

I like rain, I really do. I don&#039t even generally mind getting my pants cuffs wet or my sandals soggy unless I have to be somewhere that requires that I look presentable. Continue reading

Ah, the power of Rantfest

&#034The key to happiness is self-delusion. Don&#039t think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing toward oblivion.&#034 –Dogbert

Hmm. My format for Rantfest seems to be confusing people. For consistency&#039s sake (a trait I am generally lacking), I decided to cut off each post at two sentences then leave the rest to be read upon clicking the &#034More&#034 link. Continue reading

Bored.

&#034Someone has somewhere commented on the fact that millions long for immortality who don&#039t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.&#034 –Susan Ertz

I think I&#039ve had that quote on the page already somewhere, but you know what? I&#039m bored, so who cares? Continue reading

First day on the job

&#034I&#039m never going to get back down to my birth weight.&#034 –Brad Byers

So today was my first day doing random office things at the tutoring center. I&#039m not sure I&#039d call it overly productive, but the summer session really has just started. Continue reading
