But I’m not counting. That is technically the time remaining on Randy’s excessively long business trip. A trip that found him in clouds and rain every single day, and one that found me dialing 9-1-1 in the middle of the night because the damn fire alarms wouldn’t stop going off. It’s been a trip of [...]
OK, so Randy is up to his 8th night away from home. So far, it’s been a rather uneventful week or so. I’ve done some cleaning, I’ve done some shopping, I’ve had friends over for dinner and games. All in all, it’s been a rather low key spell of alone time.
Until last night.
Sometime after 9PM or [...]
My weekend started out predictable enough. Friends came over Friday night for dinner and games. On Saturday I was supposed to get together with different friends but they bailed on me at the last minute since one wasn’t feeling well. Instead, I had a nice lazy Saturday, which was fine by me considering the torrential [...]
Does it ever end? Seriously, it seems that every weekend we do a bunch of work and think the place is done. Then we decide to try “one more thing” and that takes up an entire other weekend.
The “one more thing” last weekend was painting the top floor of our townhouse. After we moved in [...]
My parents came up to see our new pad this weekend (and loved it). They arrived on Saturday and left on Sunday. In between we shopped, ate, and played games. All in all a good time.
But Sunday evening Randy began to notice that he wasn’t feeling well. I’d noticed a few sneezed and sniffles since [...]
…is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.
So Randy left yesterday for his business trip to Portland. As always happens when he travels, the first night is the easiest for not missing him. It’s kinda’ nice having the place to myself, watching what I want on TV, etc… And I notice that I can wake up in the morning [...]
Randy and I (along with a gaggle of friends) went to see the latest Ryan Landry play this weekend. This one was a spoof on the classic camp-fest, Valley of the Dolls. It was cleverly called Valet of the Dolls (Nealy O’Hara ends up being the face of a parking garage chain). Having seen the [...]
AHHH – I must admit that I wasn’t to excited about our trip to Puerto Rico. I had been so focused on the move (and the expenses associated with the move) that I was reluctant to spend any money on a trip.
But since were found absurdly low airfares ($234 round trip) and used credit card [...]
Mid-October and snow is falling? That’s just wrong. Plain wrong.
On the plus side, the crappy weather is supposed to get worse Saturday night into Sunday but we won’t be here for it. Realizing we’d be so exhausted from moving, a few weeks ago we planned a long weekend getaway (Saturday – Wednesday) to Puerto Rico. Our [...]
It’s getting there!
I
Am
Exhausted.
Randy’s poor father arrived Thursday, not feeling very well (probably a combination of getting up too early, not eating breakfast, drinking coffee, and anxiety over flying) and after a brief nap, began helping us prep to paint out new place. Of the next five days he was put to work taping, spackling, sanding, [...]
