It’s a meme, but hey I’m posting!
Oh my have I neglected this blog. There’s just been so much going on! So to get back into it, I’m posting this silly meme even though I’ve sworn off this sort of thing in the past.
Do you like bleu cheese? Only if it’s *good* bleu cheese.
Have you ever smoked? Not really. I tried a [...]
let’s see if this works
Progress report
I didn’t exactly work out on Tuesday, but I did do quite a bit of wandering spindle spinning which is both walking and an arm workout! It finally dawned on me that spindling is probably what gives me these lovely firm triceps, and maybe some of the other arm muscles too. Just for tracking purposes, [...]
Lumpy is not forever
I keep telling myself that. This weight gain and body shape change was a really rude shock! I weigh almost as much as I did right before Noodle Girl was born! Some of it is probably medication-related, but I’m sure it’s mostly a mid-30s metabolism shift. Gaining weight is still a novelty to me, and [...]
Whee!
A lot can happen in a month. I got a new license plate for my car, started trying to lose weight, failed to get invited to any job interviews, and started playing World of Warcraft. We finally started “spring cleaning” our house and got rid of the fleas. I got a down wool fleece from [...]
State of the munchkin
Four year olds are interesting. One minute they’re big kids, and the next babies. And they often start speaking clearly and making up their own words. Funny!
Noodle Girl got new shoes, again, already. I guess I should quit worrying about her eating habits; she’s clearly growing. Just not as fast as her cousins! She [...]
The opposite of yippee
Humankind cannot stand very much reality. T. S. Eliot (1888 – 1965)
We definitely can’t stand much reality right now. Because reality sucks. I’ve been spending most of my free time in Velgarth or assorted fictional Japans. The mister spends nearly all of his time in the World of Warcraft. Noodle [...]
No sir, I don’t like it
I have got to get journaling again. Things have gotten really crazy and writing it down usually helps me cope. Or at least remember it correctly later, for comparison. Humans are built to forget the really yucky times, and I’m afraid this is one.
We’re all familiar with the current economy, right? [...]
Now we’ve done it
Well, mostly. There is still the sorting of all the stuff we shoved into boxes to get it out of the way. But, new paint! New floor! New couch! New TV! And it’s eerily clean for now, too. Awesome.
The tv is one of those LCD flat [...]
Fun with home improvement
We finally got a flat panel TV! LCD, full HD, 1080p, high color ratio and quick response time. Good for next gen video games and so forth. And fully digital for that digital broadcast changeover, not that we’ll notice.
It’s actually part of some minor renovations to our [...]
