So A few weeks ago, our Gymboree Play & Fun (or whatever) location moved. New bigger space, a little more “on the beaten path” (but they might want to put up a sign that people can see when they’re not already in the parking lot, for that part), etc. But. The old location had kitchen-style [...]
A few things that I noticed today. Why wear a dress that ends at your knees, has no sleeves, and then includes a turtleneck? don’t you think the rest of your clothes might be more efficient at keeping you warm? hell, just buy a scarf if your neck is that sensitive! WTF? It’s not macho [...]
So, this is just a quick post to tally the final fallout from Great Purge 08 13-15 bags of trash (13 bags, and then a handful of other things that didn’t fit in bags reasonably) 5 bags of recyclables 5 big collections of cardboard boxes 1 car full of electronics bits to the recyc 8 [...]
So. Missed posting yesterday. But I have a good reason: I fell asleep with DK at 8:30-9pm and apparently wouldn’t wake when kiir tried to prompt me up. bolted upright out of the bed ~11ish because I had a dream where DK was falling down the steps (again ; actually, seriously? you’d think that wouldn’t [...]
Quicken Spare Change Challenge Yeah, the questions are rather poorly formed. “do you brew your own coffee or go to specialty shops?” uh, none? “do you buy top shelf or bottom shelf alchohol?” uh, top shelf, but I’ve had the same 3 bottles of vodka for 5 years, so yeah. Bonus feature, it seems to [...]
So, this morning Kiir wasn’t feeling well (exhausted, tired, etc), so I had a brilliant plan to let her have a day of rest — I called my parents and took DK down to their place for the day ;) So, after gathering together basically all of his diapers that I could find (because half [...]
So, Yesterday morning the train ended up stopped in the middle of nowhere in particular for half an hour, then crawled around for a bit backwards then forwards. Turns out, from what the conductor said, someone “lost a body. They want us to stop while they look for it” Turns out, after I got to [...]
So In a few weeks we’re going to India to visit family. My family, specifically. And DK, in particular. Because if we (somehow) left DK with someone here, we’re not sure my dads siblings would let us in their front doors. “attriel? Who? never heard of you!” I’ve been 4 times in my life. Once [...]
Last night, I took DK out to the park after dinner, so he could play on the slide and the sandbox and the swing etc. Apparently someone broke one of the kid-swings :/ So that’s gonna have a line for weeks I bet. Anyway, after playing on the equipment for nearly an hour, he wanted [...]
So, the problem with the mac? Turns out the contacts on the power connector were corroded. Rusted, kindof. Kiir suggested that I look it up online and see if I could get an appointment with the “Genius Bar” at the Apple Store from online, that way we only had to go when we were actually [...]
