Since I have cut beef out of my diet again I decided it’s time to once again expand my dinner menu. Right now we eat: Tacos: homemade soft tortilla shells, refried beans or Morningstar Farms meatless crumbles, lettuce, tomato, chedder cheese, sour cream. Spaghetti: homemade tomato sauce, cooked pasta, parmesean cheese, side salad, garlic bread […]

Issues with writing
January 30th, 2005 by pleia2
For many years I had self-esteem problems. It’s a pretty common thing, especially for geeks, so I don’t feel so bad about admitting it anymore. Since leaving high school in 1999 I’ve tried to overcome the self-esteem issues. I had a breakthrough almost 4 years ago when recovering from a bad breakup, for a couple […]

Today Michael took me to The Franklin Institute! I’ve wanted to go since I saw a PBS special about it a few months ago, and since both of us were feeling restless here at home we figured it’d be a good day. And it was! Even with all the kids running underfoot I had a […]

Slippers
January 27th, 2005 by pleia2
My feet get cold. Dead cold. I think I inherited bad circulation from my mother. When my feet are cold my whole body is cold, so I often wear socks. I am not a big fan of socks, they aren’t thick enough, what I needed was slippers! So for the past few months I’ve been […]

Traffic.
January 25th, 2005 by pleia2
Last night I was finishing up work, packing up my bag and walked to the front door. It was snowing. SNOWING? That wasn’t in the forecast! Worst of all, it was 5 pm, and traffic in this area is bad. Did I say bad? It’s worse than that. Traffic in the Philadelphia area can be […]

My crankie stomach
January 23rd, 2005 by pleia2
When I was 13 I started getting very severe heartburn. I was lucky to have a father very familiar with acid reflux to notice the symptoms and show me the bottle of tums. After one especially notable spaghetti dinner, where my chest hurt so much that I cried, I finally let my mother set up […]

milk drinks and snow
January 22nd, 2005 by pleia2
Ouch x_X I know quite well that I shouldn’t have too much dairy, it makes my stomach miserable. But every once in a while I binge and relearn how awful it makes me feel, like last night. It was movie night at our house, and we had a few friends over, we were having fun. […]

Food
January 19th, 2005 by pleia2
Tonight I tried a new recipe that I found online. It was for Chicken & Broccoli Manicotti. Once I figured out what manicotti was I was ready to go. We picked up the needed ingredients at the grocery store on Sunday and tonight I made it up. Success! But I didn’t take a picture because […]

Our MythTV box is up and running. Michael spent a good part of the weekend working on it (details here, it’s really cool). So now I can watch any movies from our digital library on the tv with a remote *glee* This also means that the media server is stable again. I always run irssi […]
