The past few days (I’m mostly talking about food!)
November 25th, 2006 by pleia2
Thanksgiving dinner went well at my mother-in-law’s. I ate so much stuffing. Yesterday morning I made waffles with our new waffle maker. It’s a very nice waffle maker (thanks again !). And although making the batter for waffles is a bit more work than making batter for pancakes, the cooking process is really a no-brainer. […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

The three days of work I had this week flew by, and now I’m enjoying a nice four day weekend. I wish I had more of these. While I was away this past weekend Michael got to discussing our holiday plans (or lack thereof) with Morgana in Maine. She suggested that we come up for […]

Marketplace for free – YAY!
November 21st, 2006 by pleia2
I was listening to the podcast of Marketplace Morning Report daily, which includes 2 daily shows that are each about 8 minutes long. Then I was listening to the ~20 Marketplace Takeout which had the “best clips” of Marketplace each week. I love Marketplace, but I’m not sure any MP3 broadcast would make me sign […]

Philcon Weekend
November 20th, 2006 by pleia2
I had a nice time at Philcon this weekend. I met up with Nita around 7 on Friday evening and we headed down to the Sheraton in Center City to check into our hotel rooms and sign in with registration. Unfortunately they somehow never received my registration – which means my check is lost. I […]

New name and getting ready for Philcon
November 17th, 2006 by pleia2
I got my new social security card yesterday, the government now knows I’m Elizabeth Bevilacqua. This morning I went into HR with my new card to get my name changed with work stuff. I then updated my voicemail and made sure all the proper work orders were put in to update my email and everything. […]

Xubuntu Edgy
November 12th, 2006 by pleia2
I installed Xubuntu Edgy on my primary desktop today, replacing Debian Testing. I was quite stubborn about this change, always finding some excuse to stick with Debian, but ultimately I just got to the point where the pros of switching to Ubuntu outweighted the cons. Plus I wanted to check out Thunar! After years of […]

The past few days
November 12th, 2006 by pleia2
Wednesday – Normal day, worked and stuff, was feeling a bit achy Thursday – SICK! A slight fever and a flu-thing kept me up most of Wednesday night and I stayed home from work. Headache was too bad to do more than to email Michael to tell him I was staying home, call my boss, […]

Quick things
November 7th, 2006 by pleia2
1. The pool was closed at the gym today “Due to a power outage on Sunday.” Boo! 2. After a lousy night sleep last night due to post wood-piling soreness, I think the trip to the gym this morning helped work out some of those sore spots. Yay! 3. Is anyone who reads this going […]

Beer, Chocolate, Firewood YAY!
November 5th, 2006 by pleia2
One of the best ideas Michael had for “wedding stuff” was making a Wedding Celebration Ale. I made printed the labels. It was the first all grain batch, and I believe it was his first one with Belgian ale yeast. In preliminary tastings, Michael said it came out a bit sweet. We handed out the […]
