All Quiet on the Eastern Front

I’ve been neglecting my journal. Bad Sarah. I swear I can catch you up. Not that there’s a lot, but it’s all interesting to someone, if not myself in a few years. That sinus pressure I had last week? It turned into full-blown sinusitis, complete with a sore throat, sneezing, sniffling, and most recently, coughing [...]

Death By Sinus Pressure

After what felt like a good night’s sleep (at least for me — Jon ended up on the couch because I was snoring so much) I woke up with a real pisser of a sinus headache. All I wanted to do was go back to bed, but that wouldn’t have made my sinuses feel any [...]

Marriage: Year Two

Today is the first day of my second year of marriage to Jon. The first year has been wonderful, but I hope we’ll get even better with age. We celebrated yesterday with forbidden pizza at Uno’s, antiquing, a homemade meal, and a killer cheesecake. And did I mention champagne to go with our year-old cake? [...]

The End

This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. It is, instead, the end of the beginning. [Winston Churchill]

Playtime!

The stamps are here! The stamps are here! Deb dropped them off late last night so that I could deliver them today and make everyone’s weekend. The only problem is that I have bookclub tonight, so I won’t really be able to play with them until tomorrow. I can hardly wait. The A Muse workshop [...]

I’ve Gotta Wear Shades

I love my new sunglasses so much that I can’t figure out why I never splurged on a pair before. They make commuting so much more comfortable. And they look pretty stylish to boot. Definately worth the extra expense to have prescription lenses added to them. If I could find an inexpensive provider of lenses [...]

Snafu

Imagine my surprise when my quarterly loan bill from WPI arrived today asking for twice as much money. Then imagine my surprise when I realized that the actual bill was for someone else. Everything inside was for a guy who owes a lot more money than me with a last name probably next in the [...]

Domesticity

Is it wrong that I want to neglect my wifely duty to feed my husband, fresh from a 5k charity race, to give myself more time to make spinner cards?

Working Out

A hilarious video from OK Go, courtesy of YouTube. Personally, I want to see the outtakes from the shoot. And I want to know how long it took them to perfect it. Not a bad song either. I have one of their others on my work-out mix. How apropo.

Decisions, Decisions

I ended up choosing Flower Filled and Stinkin’ Cute along with Happy Everything and the Paisley background stamp. Stinkin’ Cute was just too stinking cute to resist and I think Flower Filled will be really versatile. The order is supposed to be placed today so we should have our goodies in our hot little hands [...]
