I won NaBloPoMo!

With this post I successfully completed the challenge!
 Today at work it was like the day before christmas because they are predicting 6 or more inches of snow this weekend so all the guys were very excited to take out their snowmobiles, the engineering group was giddy all day.  I hope the snow happens but I [...]

Almost done with the November Challange

Just one more day and November is finished!  This month went very quickly and I can’t believe it is almost over…
 Tonight Lars and I went to spend my Kohles dollars and we got something for Josie and then we went to Target and did some much needed grocery shopping and now there is lemon chicken [...]

Finance class

Or should I say how to add a dollop of poo to an already annoying day.  My work day was riddled with annoying people and situations plus all my work friends were at different sites so I had nobody to eat lunch with.  I was already in a bad mood when three annoying SCA things [...]

The Bookshelf MeMe

There has been a cool little meme about bookshelves so I’m posting mine.  The ‘rules’ are your not allowed to tidy them or replace embarrassing books. 
Here is my ‘non-fiction’ shelf.  Far left is mostly school books, center is literature (Shakespeare and Grimms and all Lars’ Go books.  Right shelf is all my art reference books [...]

Back to a normal week

I really really really liked seeing my family and friends in NY and having a 5 day weekend but the routine part of me also likes having my normal day back…  I like my normal day work routine with breakfast and lunch breaks and my 5 big cups of water and my 1 big cup [...]

Lazy Sunday

Not that I didn’t have a restful week but it was nice to have a day with few responsibilities.  I finished my book (and dad, I guessed the killer half way through), wrote my paper for school and did a few challenges on my online game site.  I’m thinking seriously about actually getting off my [...]

Back in MN

Traveling was relatively easy…  All flights were ontime, I was upgraded to first class again and the flight was smooth and quick.  The only slight annoiance was that the luggage took 30min to start popping out and instead of the big baggage carousel that we were supposed to be on to the tiny one at the [...]

Last full day in NY

and it was sure full!  Started the morning at midnight at KB toys and got a few good deals for the kids in my life, the line was long but it moved.  We were at home by 1am so overall not a bad trip.  After sleeping for a while, up again and out to Kholes [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

It feels a little odd to be a different place then Lars, I think this is the first Thanksgiving in 7 years we were not together.  Many of those holidays were with our families one or two with friends and a few we were completely by ourselves and we went out to dinner (usually to [...]

Countdown to Turkey

Today was a pleasant day in Sayville and on vacation.  I stayed up way too late with Heather, my parents said it was funny to see us ‘princessing’ at each other.  I don’t’ think we were doing anything special but we did talk plans and differences between what we are doing in our respective kingdoms.  [...]

another late post

Not much to say really because I worked all day, mom fixed my knitting mistakes and Heather is visiting… more tomorrow because I officially took the day off!

A new twist on Monday

So I’m in NY for the week but today and tomorrow are work days.  Monday is still Monday even if you get to work in jammies at the kitchen table…  The staff meeting still took an hour and a half and the 4 other regular Monday meetings all happened to so it is hard to [...]

My Mom

Fun and mellow day today and after dinner we ended up looking at some pretty old photographs and found one with my mom pregnant with me.

This is her in Ireland about 6 or 7 months pregnant (no date on the photo).

In Ny

I am writing from my parents computer in Ny and its been a long day…
 I managed to get up at five after going to bed at midnight and got to the airport in good form.  I was very lucky overall today, first I ended up parking very close to the parking garage baggage check so [...]

Checking in really quick… I spent way to much time out tonight and I’m trying to pack so I can sleep so I can get up at 5am!!!!
 Thats about it for today, full report in the morning.

Almost missed a day!

Oh my goodness!  I had another hectic day followed by a hectic evening where I fell asleep and just woke up and saw it was 11 already so I’m posting quickly.
 I relized yesterday that I had quite a bit to get packed and ready for the weekend and the week.  Lars is off to ToC [...]

Today I am going to take Miss Zoots NAMBLO inspirational suggestion and write about gift giving rather then the fact that my work stinks and I felt like I was going to puke all day, so much so that I didn’t go to school and went home and went to bed.  (I’m awake because Lars [...]

Week 20

I am half way to the end according to the medical books.  At this point little baby is over half a pound and is the size of a cantaloupe.  I think I have pass the dubious milestone of bump being more prominent then chest…

In other news, work was non stop all day, I took a [...]

My liver will never be the same

Monday… Mondays stink when I have 100 meetings in the row.  I abandoned my laptop there and came home to do a nice run and now I’m blogging about nothing in particular to fill the daily requirement.
I have been saving a bit of news for just such a lull, I can now announce with certainty [...]

Sunday

I collected Lars at 12:30 am and I had a very nice evening with Jen to keep me awake until that point.  Earlier in the day I went on a fabric hunt to two different stores but we found the perfect silk for coronation.  I took a mid day nap and at 7 arrived at [...]

Saturday

Friday night was a pleasant evening at home, 50% spent on the phone to friends and relatives.  I watched all the tv shows I like and Lars really does not and ate a big salad for dinner. 
Today used to be on the empty side but now I have a very full day planned and Lars [...]

The Big Sonogram

Ok, the big sonogram!  It was big, it was fun, I have pictures of feet and hands but Lars has his cell phone off and he gets first news.  I will post the pictures when I get home.
5:02 Home now, uploaded pictures.  This thumbs up is my favorite, click here for more

Lars still has his [...]

Class last night was relatively painless and passed decently swiftly.  I think my amusement with the fact that the teacher wore a badly (too tight) fitting sweater that is the exact same shade of band-aid beige as the wall that occasionally he would just blend in and look like a floating head.  There is one [...]

11/7

We did end up going out to Murray’s after all!  Murray’s is one of the best steak places in the cities, very expensive but very worth it.  We were given gift certificates a while ago so we finally got to use them.  About 7pm we got dressed up (Lars wore a button down and nice pants [...]

Late post

It is 6pm and I finally have a second to sit and write something!  I went in for some tests today and they just took forever and in the end the results were generally good but inconclusive so they want me to do more tests and come back etc etc but I think I’m going [...]

11/5

This weekend was oddly social for not setting foot out of the house and spending hours staring at a test…  I talked on the phone to a ton of different people, lots of IM’s and played the online game with Lars for a few hours on Sunday.  I also managed to ‘run’ for an hour [...]

I promise to do more homework soon…

In-fact, I’ll post the whole test!  it is perfectly legal, the teacher said we could get help from anyone in the world except for other students in the class.  I tried work people last time and they got the questions as wrong as I did…  Anyway, if you want it click here.
 Anyway, last night after [...]

Big news of the day

Again… not something the non-SCA people will think is as awesome as Lars and I do, but, Konrad (far left) won the East Kingdom Crown today so he and Lars (far right) will be Kings together at Pennsic.  Andre (center) trained both of them and is probably more happy then all of us combined.  Lars and [...]

Second post of Nov

Yesterday was one of those days…  The morning raced by, then a supplier meeting an hour away that we traveled longer then the meeting actually was, and I got back with one min to spare for a conference call about maternity benefits.  By the end of the call I was just annoyed at the system [...]

Post #1 of Nov

Happy first day of November! I’ve been saving up my blogging so I can go strong every day for the whole month, I’m going to make it this year!
Yesterday was Halloween and I feel like I missed it completely because I went from work to school and I didn’t see one costume nor did I [...]
