Well, friends, I’m happy to report that most of our yard sale stuff is now gone. There is one lone piece of furniture left, as well as a garbage bag or two of clothing and maybe 2-3 boxes of random crap. Not too shabby, I’d say. We’ll 86 that stuff after we move, probably, off …
another yard sale, another late night.
I think it’s written in the heavens that, when you decide to have a yard/garage sale, you absolutely MUST spend the night before frantically preparing. Thankfully, Daniel and I approached the garage tonight (after the Stars game, which I’ll blog about later) having already identified and, to a large extent, priced the items we wished …
a banner day for Liz
Yes, friends, I finally got one. Today, in fact. HOORAY!
the lost art of comment sincerity
I know many others on blogger have been dealing with comment spam, and some of us have turned on the “word verification” (think: random letters/words like on Ticketmaster) for commenters on our sites. I was doing my semi-regular check of everyone’s blogs today, and saw this comment — they’re not even TRYING anymore: Anonymous said… …
hehe
I thought this was funny. I don’t *try* to be a geekette, I really don’t … and I don’t even see myself in that light… but, y’know, as in so many things in life, everything is relative / perception is reality.
hmm.
So, the midterm-from-hell, which was supposed to be — nay, *promised* to be — graded and returned today, was neither. I got very little garage-sale/moving-prep-wise done tonight, unless you can count watching two episodes of “Commander in Chief” and three episodes of “My Name is Earl” that had been accumulating on our bedroom TiVo. Simon …
it’s like Christmas!
Today, for the first time in more than three years, my old Sony Vaio laptop booted. This is the laptop I used during the waning days of my undergraduate degree and throughout my time at Brooks-Jeffrey Marketing in Mountain Home. And actually, now that I look at some of the files, it was also heavily …
a swirl of boxes, dust, and cables.
If you haven’t had the undeniable pleasure of Daniel’s company recently, you have really been missing out. I say this in the most loving and supportive manner possible, at least, as loving and supportive as I can muster after enduring — no, that’s not the right word — *ENJOYING* his ongoing brainstorms related to the …
they’re making history
I don’t know the official historical stats, but my father says he cannot remember the Mountain Home Bombers ever winning six games in a row. And now, they have. That’s right, faithful LizBlog followers: My high school alma mater football team brought their winning streak to six games last night. They beat Cabot for the …
no more “no-sweat zone” at work
Why? In our staff meeting today, I found out some highly disturbing news. Specifically:a) Building maintenance staff recently dubbed our office thermostat “wall art.”b) Our HVAC system has been added to some sort of automatic system that means it does what it wants when programmed to do so.c) We can’t unplug from the automatic system.d) …
