Part of my DIY Christmas gifting includes a photo frame for Eric to take to work with him because he’s always saying that he needs a picture for his office. I stopped at Michaels after work last night (awww. It was kind of nostalgic, and I even saw my old boss, who was very nice)Continue reading “I forgot to take pictures”

50K
I reached 50,000 words today! And my story is not over – not even close. I will keep working on it throughout November, but I have officially “won” NaNoWriMo. Okay, not officially because I have to get it verified on the 25th, but what a freeing sensation! I had today off, which is what allowedContinue reading “50K”
Got a few hours to spare?
I’ve traded my 5am part time shifts for full time work and occasional late nights. That means, of course, that instead of leaving work, coming home, and being too tired to do anything, I get up at a reasonable time and don’t go to work until the afternoon. I also need more pairs of khakisContinue reading “Got a few hours to spare?”
Another birthday
Yesterday Eric and I drove to Lake Odessa to visit with Mark’s family and celebrate October birthdays (Eric and Mark, in fact). Since Eric already got his gift, I didn’t bring it with us, but he got some very thoughtful gifts from the folks there. Mark is my mother-in-law’s boyfriend, and he is a wonderfulContinue reading “Another birthday”
The unveiling
So for about 5 weeks, I struggled with ideas and execution on Eric’s birthday present. I knew I wanted to make him a board game because he loves board games, but I wasn’t sure how to create game play that could capture all of the facets of his personality, his life, and our life together.Continue reading “The unveiling”
Haunting Sunday
Alas, the Packers lost today. Despite that, Eric and I were fantastically productive. We got laundry done, cleaned the living areas, and we redecorated our porch with the new Halloween decorations that my MIL graciously gave to us. We also decorated a little bit inside, but I must say that our porch is sufficiently creepy,Continue reading “Haunting Sunday”
Lazy Saturday
I kind of just woke up from a two hour nap. Eric and I went out for Mexican food for lunch, then wandered around one of those season-only Halloween shops. But I am getting ahead of myself here. So let’s take it from the beginning. This morning was unusual in that Eric woke up atContinue reading “Lazy Saturday”
Birthday time
Fall is a busy birthday season for me. I have my bff/college roommate’s birthday, dad, Eric, mom, grandma, and a few others interspersed. There goes my Christmas crafting time, no? Especially with November’s focus being writing fantastic fiction stories. Hopefully I’ll have birthday gifts done completely soon. Today is dad’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Dad!), soContinue reading “Birthday time”
Stairs hurt
So…I lied about being patient and reading and learning before canning. This weekend, Eric and I went and bought the final supplies for our canning adventures. And then we made peach-honey butter. Here are some things we learned: 1. We were given two pressure cookers, which is awesome, but unnecessary for things like jams andContinue reading “Stairs hurt”
Fantasy Football Friday…
Sunday is the draft for our fantasy football league. I have been doing mock drafts this week, and I’ve been working, obviously. Today, as I left work, I bought a few supplies for the weekend. I haven’t done a really crafty project in a while, and my hands need to be busy. I bought aContinue reading “Fantasy Football Friday…”
