I love lambics, especially in the summertime. So when Michael came home one evening last week and informed me that they Ortinos Northside had in stock some of the Floris lambics made by Delirium (who makes one of my favorite beers, Delirium Tremens) I was excited. Delirium makes lambics?! AHHH!! YAY! From Delirium.be: In 1993, […]

I was in bed this morning staring at the curtains we bought a few months back and wondered how much a decent sewing machine would cost. When we bought the curtains a few months back I was surprised at the cost. They’re nice curtains, and we bought them with a gift certificate a relative gave […]

Clerks II
July 27th, 2006 by pleia2
was right, Clerks II is funny. As we all know, Michael and I don’t go to the movie theater much because we don’t like them. But last night I was feeling burnt out from another 9+ hour day at work and I wanted to watch something funny. There was nothing saved on the MythTV box […]

Sister, internet, family
July 24th, 2006 by pleia2
Happy Birthday ! is my sister, she just got a LiveJournal about a week ago after the nagging of family members. It’s amusing to me that having an online journal has become popular enough that family members encourage each other to have them. I still think about how funny it is for me to go […]

Fast, busy, hot
July 19th, 2006 by pleia2
First off, we got the FiOS installed yesterday. Michael worked from home all day so he was able to meet the Verizon techs and stick around for the 3-4 hours the install took. The install was pretty labor intensive, they had to run a cable from the FiOS box on the utility pole to our […]

Skippack Strut
July 18th, 2006 by pleia2
The Skippack Strut on Sunday was fun. It began at Road House Grille at 1:30 in the afternoon. The temperature was hovering around 90, but there wasn’t too much humidity so it was decent in the shade and generally tolerable in the sun. First course: Road House Grille Assorted hors d’oeuvres paired with McWilliams Riesling […]

Still hating summer
July 14th, 2006 by pleia2
I hate summer. I seem to forget every year how miserable and exhausted prolonged humid, hot weather makes me (although, I’m pretty sure people close to me don’t forget how cranky I get!). This is even true when I can hop from air conditioned place to air conditioned place, being stuck inside sucks. I hate […]

To be FiOSed!
July 11th, 2006 by pleia2
Sunday afternoon we ended up at Michael’s brother’s house for a BBQ celebration following the Christening of Michael’s niece. We had a nice time in spite of the heat. When the heat got too bad we went inside where there was AC and the overtime bit of the final game of the World Cup. I […]
