Oh, and there is a Belgian beer and exotic cheeses tasting going on there today that I’m not going to.. Right, like I’m going to resist a Belgian beer an exotic cheese tasting less than 5 miles from my house. We went, it’s all Michael’s fault, whatever tiny bit of will-power was preventing me from […]

Yard work, beer, misc
April 30th, 2006 by pleia2
Friday was month end at work, what a nightmare. It could have been greatly lessened if my co-workers had properly prepared me for it – “What? You haven’t sent an email to all the locations telling them it’s almost month end?!” …I didn’t know I was supposed to! So I spent the whole week helping […]

Stuff and gas prices
April 27th, 2006 by pleia2
Work has been unusually quiet for month end, I know I’m going to get completely slammed on Friday with stuff to enter before the end of the month; no doubt it’ll be after 6 when I finally leave here tomorrow. And I haven’t been sleeping well this week, which doesn’t help me get through these […]

Tea
April 26th, 2006 by pleia2
The tea thing is going well. I’m still quite taken with Earl Grey, with the occasional green tea mixed in each morning. In the evening I’ve been occasionally enjoying Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea. My father used to drink Sleepytime Tea, and whenever I smell it I’m brought back to those good memories of my father. […]

Out of winter funk and angelfish :(
April 25th, 2006 by pleia2
The weather was delightfully weird yesterday. There was a wonderful thunderstorm in the morning, I got up around 5:30 morning to throw a load of laundry in the drier and spent about an hour reading in the living room and enjoying the thunderstorm. With Michael going to the gym so early each morning I am […]

Robert Rich and hanging out with Nita
April 23rd, 2006 by pleia2
The Robert Rich concert last night was fantastic. The plan was to head down with Bob, who showed up at our house around 5:30 so we could eat dinner. Unfortunately he got a call from work about 5 minutes before we were leaving and had to go in to work and couldn’t come to the […]

Shopping and things
April 22nd, 2006 by pleia2
I wasn’t in the best mood yesterday. It was the culmination of a lot of things, including working some things out with Michael before the wedding, working overtime for an audit at work, feeling like I’m getting nowhere with my healthier eating/exercise/diet thing, never seeing my tulips open. So when Michael called me last night […]

Thomas Dolby and PLUG West
April 18th, 2006 by pleia2
Michael emailed me earlier today to tell me he’d be home late and not to wait for him for dinner. I’m sitting here eating some fish sticks and french fries. On Easter things went pretty much as planned, we had Michael’s mother over and Michael roasted a whole chicken, made stuffing and broiled potatoes. He […]

Bathroom smoke stains and Easter
April 16th, 2006 by pleia2
Once upon a time we had friends over for an evening of movies and drinks. Being the ambience suckers we are, we lit some candles in the bathroom that evening. Apparently one of the wicks was too long on one of the candles, and late that evening it was noticed that it was creating smoke […]

O’Reilly Weblog
April 15th, 2006 by pleia2
About a month ago Carla Schroder gave me the contact information for a fellow over at O’Reilly who was looking for linux people to write for the O’Reilly weblogs. I sent some writing samples and information about my experience with linux to the editor and to my delight was accepted into the linux blogging group. […]
