  • Well, I'm a total slacker, blog-wise and in just about every other regard. Part of it is that I've been working on a couple of other projects, and part of it is that I just can't stand to sit at the computer for very lo…

  • It's so hot! I went to Sears today and bought a tiny little air conditioner for $70. It has yet to make any sort of impact on the temperature in this apartment, but I think that's because it's been so hot in here for sev…

  • I came home from tennis last night feeling like a train wreck. It was very hot in the tennis center and we opened the doors, and luckily I remembered to use bug spray before I left. We played singles and doubles, mos…

  • Detroit Lake was fun, but tiring. It was pretty much a typical camping trip, so I'll spare you the details. If you've been camping, you pretty much know what we did. We did manage to get a spot right on the lake, wh…

  • Alex and I are off to Detroit Lake for the night. Yay!

  • Getting up at 6 on Sunday morning sucks. The good news is that I have tomorrow off, so I can sleep as late as I want. Or at least until 7:30, because Alex has tennis camp at 8:30. We're leaving to take Mack to the ai…

  • I feel like I should write some angsty post about turning 39, but it really isn't that big a deal to me. It took me until my mid-30s to be more or less comfortable in my own skin, and I feel, in many ways, that my life i…

  • I'm back from two very hard hours of tennis class. The class is Tuesday and Thursday nights. I'm going to have to bring a couple of clean shirts from now on, because the one I was wearing was soaked. I was probably carry…

  • I rarely watch movies at home, because I can't really sit still long enough when I know there's laundry to do, dishes to put away, etc. etc. etc. Even though I had a busy weekend, I managed to watch several movies: Captu…

  • I'm just back from a run, and am getting ready to go play tennis. Finally, the running is beginning to pay off in terms of weight loss--I've lost 3 pounds this week. Not much, but my first loss in five weeks of running. …

  • I think I'm going to be blogging on a reduced schedule this summer. There's so much stuff to do right now--the weather is nice, so Mack and I are playing a lot of tennis in the evenings. Which means there isn't much time…

  • In honor of Alex's 11th birthday, a rerun (it'll be new for many of you, anyway): It was July 2, a couple of days before my due date.I'd had some back problems for a few months. It was obvious that this baby was quite a…
