Today, I went to a place to paint called, well, “A Place to Paint,” where I did some paint-your-own-pottery. I picked a silly-looking turtle piggy bank. Not only did the turtle turn out decently (I refuse to use the adjective “good” describing anything that results from my delicate-detail work given my shaky hands), but I …
Waxing sappy about Amy
Yesterday I went to my GP’s office for my three-month check-in to make sure my weight and blood pressure are coming down, as well as to donate some blood for the benefit of checking my CRP (apparently, cholesterol screening isn’t in the cards this time). Anyway, since sometime in late February when I started doing …
Inedible truck?
Can ANYONE explain this?
Julie’s got a blog!
We’re still ironing out the bugs with the photos, but here’s the URL: Julie’s blog
A couple of quickie announcements …
First things first! A great big, huge, enthusiastic CONGRATULATIONS goes out to AnnaLisa, who finished her bar exam earlier this week. I got an e-mail from her today saying she has mixed feelings about her actual performance, and is hoping for the best / preparing for the worst. To celebrate the fact that it’s over, …
Hawaii-bound!!
I have finally bought tickets and requested time off (er, maybe that was the wrong order? haha) to go to Hawaii to visit my FAVORITE aunt & uncle, Fred & Dalis. Um, not respectively. 😉 Anyway … hooray! {happy dance} Travel dates are Sept. 22-28 (+ wee small hours Sept. 29 for return flight). Just …

I’m already plotting …
I’m prepared for the jokes …
Most days, I read my hometown newspaper to keep up on what’s happening. And this story caught my eye today, mostly because it got its own section (it’s not a “news brief”) and had two paragraphs. And, don’t fail to notice the fact that it appeared FOUR DAYS after it happened! Geez! Tuesday must’ve been …
New favorite kitchen gadget that I don’t have!
I saw the absolutely coolest kitchen gadget-I-don’t-have on an episode of a BBC show called “Kiss Me Kate” in the wee small hours Saturday night. It was a two-handed oven mitt with fabric between the two hand compartments. I really don’t know how to describe it … but suffice it to say, it was awesome. …
{bow}
When I told Gary, Julie and Paul at dinner tonight (which was in Lewisville and which I left at 9:30 p.m.) that I’d have my homework (which I’d not yet started at that point) done and turned in, and hoped to be in bed, by 11 p.m., they sorta looked at me funny. But, thank …
