Why are there NO NORMAL PUMPS?!?
(I actually wrote this on OD July 1… and forgot to post it here!! I’ve decided it’s easier to post there first if I have pictures. Mostly because Flickr, where I keep my photos, is such a massive...
Work chat
Oh, look, it’s been almost a month since I finished my England entries, and swore I’d start writing non-travel entries regularly again. Hahahahaha!!! My job has suddenly veered from Really Really...
Well damnation...
Just saw the sad news. I’m on OD, same name - I’ve been double posting and was just thinking that is kind of a pain to post in both places because the photos are done so differently, so it’s poss...
Partner Survey
Oh, look, it’s a very random survey! How long have you been with your partner? We have been married since 1991, and lived together five years before we got married. SO…thirty two years. And that ...
Six weeks later....
....and I am making an entry at 11 pm on a weeknight, because (a) I have decided to, as they so amusingly say in Peepshow, pull a sickie tomorrow. I need a mental health day!! And (b), I got a te...
EEEKKKKKK!!!
OMG. Tomorrow I leave for England!!! I had firm intentions of making lots and lots of entries here before the Big Trip… hahahahahaha!!! I’ll just have to do a travelog when I get back, like I di...
EdnaLand Update
Not that there’s much to update – other than whining about wanting to write more and not doing it! If I’d do it more often, I’d probably have a lot more to say. Right now I’m at work, of course, ...
Currently in EdnaVille
It’s… it’s.... two entries in a hair less than three weeks!!!! Shocker!!! And of course I want to write but have nothing specific to say, so Currents it is. I’m back to having a slow spell at wor...
*Six months* later....
Why on earth do I wait so long between entries??!!?? I don’t know!! I miss it, I often vow I’ll start anew and write regularly.... then I vanish for, oh, six months. I see I made four entries in ...
What it takes to get me to write an entry.....
Is severe boredom, apparently. We’re currently experiencing our annual biggest downtime phase at work, which is nice, but it’s also booooring. And I even have something I need to be working on – ...
Good job with that writing streak!
So much for getting back into the habit of writing- a habit which I really haven’t been in since the OD days, but I keep hoping. And honestly, I am afraid the only reason I’m making an entry now ...
Christmas Escape Time
In keeping with my Always Avoid All Possible Social Interaction mindset, I am happy that we are (yet again) escaping to Charleston for Christmas. This is our newish tradition- Baker B was insisti...
Clearly I am on a roll
Another couple of entries and I’ll have written more in the last week than I did the entire previous year. Well, slight exaggeration, but still I’m pleased that I didn’t write one entry and then ...
In which Baker B is dragged into this century
Well, he wasn’t dragged as much as poked and prodded into it. Yesterday we went to Verizon and I got a new iphone (a 6; happily the cheapest one was what I wanted) and he got my old 5C. Which is ...
apologizing in advance if I break Prosebox
Two entries?? In the same week??!!?? I haven’t made two entries in the same month since…well, since April, actually. I guess I won’t be doing that fun “first sentence from each month of the past ...
and now.... three and a half MORE months pass by!!!
I have no idea how that’s even possible, but I am making several determined attempts in several assorted areas of my life to Improve My Lazy Annoying Self, and doing more writing is one of them. ...
It's only been three months, no big deal....
And what’s suddenly pushing me to actually make an entry?? A long long overdue entry in my very very neglected Prosebox? Which I really do miss, despite totally ignoring it for, like, EVER?? Beca...
After months of work-overload, suddenly it’s…quiet. Really quiet. May graduates are either done and gone, or they still have shortages that they are currently ignoring so they aren’t bombarding m...
Advanced Boredom Currents
Apparently someone broke Banner, and all of our Vital Operating Systems are down. And have been down all day, and are not expected to return anytime soon. Which means… I can not do one single thi...
making the jewelry public
I can’t figure out how this is showing up - if at all – but I just make a book public that I’d had on private: https://www.prosebox.net/book/14524/ I’ve recently been stricken with Jewelry Madnes...
RIP, Simon
First of all, my dad’s colonoscopy went well. He is fine and does not appear to be traumatized by the lack of willingness by the five adults around him to stir up a bowl of jello so he’d have som...
Things I am finding annoying tonight.
Ok, I am going to do a “real” entry soon, since I am really trying to get back into the writing habit… but I want to whine. I am annoyed by many many things tonight, and I want to whine, and whin...
*two months later.....*
That’s kind of sad. But I have been ridiculously busy at work, after that little bit of downtime way back in January. All the August and December applications came in and we’ve been working like ...
la la la la la .... nothing to see here...
I was going to finish the 2014 survey that I started ages ago … but you know, I’m just not in the mood. What I am in the mood for is a break from work. I’ve stayed busy for so long that I hardly...
thanksgiving with baker b and the cats
Well, just like last Thanksgiving, we’ve spent the day all by ourselves, us and the cats, just lounging around. Because.... it snowed. Yes, November is not over yet and we have already had three ...
