I don't DO sick very well. It's so inconvenient. Sitting still and resting in the middle of the work week ... this is soooo bizarre. The medicine or something is making me really sleepy, though. So off to snooze I go ...

P and I spent the afternoon out and about at Eastern Market. It was a gorgeous day for that -- perfectly clear weather, nice and cool without being cold. I'll (hopefully) write more about all that later. But we're about to meet up with some fol...

Olive Garden has traditionally been one of my favorite restaurants. (It's the breadsticks and alfredo sauce. YUM.) I'd go there for birthdays, for random celebrations, when I'm in the middle of working hard and have earned a tre...

I had a little bit of a problem with the dishwasher tonight. I'd been letting a pan soak in the sink, so it was filled with sudsy dish liquid. In tossing stuff in the dishwasher, I think I just dumped the water out (without rinsing it) ... so a...

I don't get it. What is it that compells people to sing in the shower? I can kind of understand if there's a radio or something in there. But there's no music. Just singi...

I can think of a few of my own, most of which are just for kicks. And I have a tendency to state these aspirations as, "I aspire to ... whatever."
