Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer
Saturday, March 6th, 2010I gave Kory his first driving lesson today. Chip tagged along, even though there really aren’t supposed to be other people in the car, because we needed a pylon.
Just kidding. But, wow, that is one orange shirt.
Anyway, the day was perfect for the maiden voyage of the as-yet-unnamed Subaru. The sun was [...]
Snowpacolypse!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Kory and I both get a snow day! Well, I did have to go work for a couple of hours, but now I’m home and cozy. Visibility is rather low ’round here.
Stay safe and warm, everyone!
Tattoos and Typos
Saturday, January 16th, 2010It turns out my birthday celebration has extended well past the anniversary of my actual birth. Last night I collected on my everlasting gift from Chip: a new tattoo. Chip thoughtfully showed up right when it was really starting to smart and took some pictures.
Fair warning – don’t click around on those photos [...]
Glimpses of Paradise
Saturday, December 12th, 2009If my friend Misty ever invites you to stay with her, say yes. Don’t question it, don’t hesitate, just pack your bags and go. It’s not just that she lives on a gorgeous sailboat in the heart of the Florida Keys, it’s that when it comes to playing hostess, my girl Misty is the bee’s [...]
Finals
Monday, June 8th, 2009It’s Finals Week for me and for Kory. I have one, he has several. I’ve also started a new job and am still looking for freelance work, so we have a stress-filled household.
I’m committed to taking some fabulous photos this summer, though, so stay tuned!
Changes
Saturday, May 16th, 2009I’ve been lax about posting photos lately because the upload process, frankly, sucks. Unless I work from Chip’s house, the pics only halfway load and the process takes forfreakingever. Therefore, these photos are a little old, but still worth posting.
Chip and Kory ran the Sugar Maple 5k … Chip went on to run the mini, [...]
A Day of Rest (Not)
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008I have day off mid-week today, something unheard of while school is in session thanks to my full course schedule and my job at the writing center. So, am I relaxing in a bubble bath, or curled up with a good book and a glass of wine? No, I’m cleaning my neglected house and offloading [...]
Quickie
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008I’m busy, Chip’s busy, Kory’s busy, we’re all still addicted to WoW, and Riley is almost as big as Lilly already.
Happy Halloween!
Pens
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008For his birthday, Chip’s Ma got him the accessories necessary for turning pens on the lathe, something we’ve both been wanting to try. Chip’s first attempt was incredible … neither of us will probably ever make a pen this pretty again (it’s the one in the center):
Only trouble is, the wood wasn’t labeled so we [...]
The Early Bird Gets the Hot Air Balloon
Sunday, August 17th, 2008Since Kory was in Louisville this weekend with his dad, I was left in charge of Riley the Wonder Pup. As in, I wonder if she naps all day just so she can experience the joy of waking me up in the middle of the night to pee/poop/play or just look at me funny. [...]
