In a little less than an hour, TheBoy and I will be headed to Dundee to purchase my new spinning wheel. I’m so excited, he just wishes that he could have slept later. We’ve got a busy day ahead of us apart from getting the wheel. We’re also having lunch with TheBoy’s mom, visiting with read more
Hooray!
It’s snowing! It’s snowing! Tiny, wee flakes that are actually falling pretty quickly. I’d be quite surprised if anything stuck at this point, but man, does the snow ever make me happy. In the few minutes since I paused in my writing we now have big, fat, lazy and yet still pretty heavy flakes. So read more
That’s Bullshit!
I believe that earlier today I earned the status of best gift-giver ever. And best fiance ever. At least the best one TheBoy has. I filed my taxes, and will have my refund sometime around the tenth of February. I didn’t get back everything that I paid in, but I am getting back most of read more

My Kingdom for a Camera Phone.

Slow Going.
Life continues. School is busy, and I have lost a lot of my motivation. Early wedding plans are shaping, although most of it is quite undecided at this point. Both Christmas and Whidbey Island photos are up in my flickr.
Too Damn Early.
I am up at 5.45 am. Why? Because I have to be at school by 6.45 am. To get in a van and drive for many hours. Something tells me I’m going to be tired this weekend. Good thing Derek will be around to make dinner for me Monday night when I get home. Hopefully read more
Ripped from the Headlines

Getting Rolling!
I’ve got an advisor for my thesis research! Huzzah!
A Little Tip.
A whoopie cushion on her seat is unlikely to delight a woman. Just a little tip in case anyone was wondering.
