handmade Carcassonne

Published: 25 December 2009
I wanted to play Carcassonne with my family today and had remembered to bring home the Followers, scoreboard, point tiles, rules, and the River expansion tiles, but not the big bag of tiles that are the whole point of the game. Derr. Well, one can find all sorts of images of tiles online, [...]

apartment, HP, grad. classes

Published: 23 April 2009
Pfhew, so let’s see what’s going on in my life, since it’s been some time since I last updated with a real entry. I’m moving this weekend to my new apartment, and it’s going to suck like all moves suck, but this one I’m hoping will be better, at least in some ways, than [...]

independent study, a death in the family, and my car

Published: 21 January 2009
Pfhew, so I’m back in school and things are more hectic than I figured. Work at Lexmark has been pretty steady, as I work my 15 hours per week, but the other stuff has been up in the air. I had a meeting with my professor yesterday to discuss work on the Baby [...]

cancer

Published: 8 January 2009
Howard told me the other day my blog has gotten boring, and I told him simply that my life is currently boring! Not that I’m complaining: I’ve had a great time at home with my family, free of interesting trips and shenanigans (though not free of drama, more on that in a later [...]

weird sleep schedule

Published: 3 January 2009
I’ve never had my sleeping schedule so turned around in my life! For the past week and a half, I’ve been going to bed later and later (or earlier and earlier?) and sleeping through most of the day. I’ve finally started to shove it around, rotating my schedule so that I went to [...]

Pete’s Dragon and Mudslides

Published: 29 August 2008
I’ve seen the beginning of Pete’s Dragon about twelve times now because my four-year-old cousin has discovered the wonders of the DVD remote. I’m visiting my family and have been alternately sang to, tugged around, and shown every room in my cousin’s house. I was also introduced to my cousin’s dad’s exercise machine, [...]

things I love about my mom

Published: 24 February 2008
Conversely (see previous entry), here’s a post about some of the things I love about my mom. I was just inspired to do such a list because I’m cleaning my apartment (yes, it does happen!) and one of the things I found was a St. Valentine’s Day card Mom sent me this year. [...]

“Gay Love” by Derek and the Dominos

Published: 21 December 2007
I just heard a story from my brother that had me cracking up. You’ll need to be familiar with the song “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos to really get what’s funny, though. So my brother and his friend were hanging out, listening to some music, when “Layla” came on. My brother’s [...]

wedding fonts and turkey

Published: 10 November 2007
Today has been a really pleasant day for the most part. I’m at Todd’s parents’ house and all the kids (ha, they’re all older than I am) are home, so we have a full house. I worked with Todd’s sister Sue today, helping her decide on a font to use for wedding invitation [...]

mouse in the dishwasher

Published: 17 May 2007
Never a dull moment back at my parents’ house, apparently. Mom wrote me an email just now saying that last night when she opened the dishwasher, a little mouse was staring back at her from the silverware holder. Now how on earth a mouse got into the dishwasher, I don’t know, but there [...]
