Happy Second Day of Autumn!

Today is my second wedding anniversary. Steve brought me Taco Bell and spent ten minutes eating it with me as our lunch date today. (I am on campus from 8am to 8:30pm today, and he works 2:30-11:00pm, so we made do.) …
House and Re: Rant

I'm still reading "The Politics of Research," which is actually quite interesting. I've even gotten Steve to nod his head, laugh, or shake his fist at different passages. But this Orson Scott Card book (Rachel and Leah…

When I woke this morning, I saw kitten was on the armchair next to me, curled up into a tight little ball like a roly-poly. I was so pleased at the autumness I told my mom last night I was facing a big decision - whet…

The temperature and correct degree of sunlight when I walked from my apartment to my car this morning were wonderful. Getting back into the homework scene, and the football scene (my poor useless Browns)... and the pump…
Happy Sunday! My husband's new computer is here, and I'm tapping away at his new keyboard to test it out. The weather is promising to be cooler soon. My orange shirt and brown skirt today might even leave me a bit chi…
Leadwood Folk is awesome! Listen to that catchy-but-sophisticated guitar riff and that gorgeous Dylanesque harmonica.I want to go to Farm Aid like nobody's business. I've told three people about this desire, and they a…
