I won the challenge

Last day of the November challenge and I believe I made it! Not all the posts were awesome but there was a trip to NY, a midterm paper, and a major holiday in the middle of trying to post daily. On the bright side, I had more stuff planned that I never got around to [...]

Comment/blogs I read part 2

Well, there are a few blogs on my list that never ever post so I’m skipping them.  I should really remove them from my list but you never know when they may start up again.
 
Next alphabetically is http://www.jonandamber.com/ and while Amber does not post all that regularly I also read her LJ and talk to [...]

Ack!  Almost missed a day!  Today has been an odd mess of stuff but we did get most of the christmas lights up.  I also am writing a paper for class so that sucked up alot of my time today.  More tomorrow….

Leftovers

Sorry, my ‘comment pII’ post is still in the works but here is my recap of the big Tday.
Bottom line first, it went really well.  Only minor stress over the stuffing and we forgot to put napkins on the table but everyone said everything was awesome and their plates were clean so I believe them. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

we started ours a bit early, 6am, with a little girl yelling potty from her bed. She did indeed need to potty. So I’m thankful for a potty training girl and the extra hour of sleep Lars took her for.

comment day

Day before Thanksgiving at work is rather empty. There are other people here but not the people I actually need to get much work done. I’m more or less through all the backed up e-mail from last week and so I took my coffee break time to do some commenting on the blogs I love [...]

two days to turkey day

Thank you for the turkey suggestions. It is out of the freezer and in the fridge as of 9ish this morning. I think it will be getting some water bathing tonight to assist with the thaw process and then into a bucket of brine! I found a recipe for stuffing that sounds good, times and [...]

The rest of the trip

Sorry, I have to blog every day so I am stretching the NY trip just a bit
Other then two days in museums we did a few other things;
1. hang out in the hotel – this was the point of the trip in some ways, my grandmother was turning 80 and wanted us all [...]

Why the Natural Histroy Museum is better then The Metropolital Museum of Art

Obviously, the first reason is dinosaurs… but, a close second is fairly nice guards.  The natural history museum had guards around but I don’t think they said one word to us all day.  We let the kids run and play and they had a great time looking at everything.  The guards in the Met were [...]

Back home again

Another busy busy day including traversing 7 states but everything was on time and relatively easy and I’m back at my home computer checking in for the day.  More tomorrow~

Last NYC day

We made it back out of the city and we are now back in Sayville for about 24h.  Tons of stuff to talk about but I’ve stayed up too late too many days in a row so it will have to be saved for later.  I’ll hopefully have some new flickr photos soon, I’m going through [...]

NYC day two

We are still in the city hanging out in the hotel and Niamh is napping so I actually have a few minutes to write more then 5 lines.  The other big reason I have time to blog is I FINALLY finished my midterm.  I stayed up to 1am on Tuesday and Wednesday and I finished last night.  I’m pretty [...]

Pictures are up

we took the train into the city, then we walked through the mobs and mobs to the hotel.  Taxi to the museum and then we saw everything fun for a pair of 1 year olds.  Stroll back to the hotel and now we are making dinner plans.  I posted basically unedited photos of the  day [...]

to the city

we arrived safely and now we are on our way into the city.  Who knows if they have internet in there . 
Pictures later today if I can but we are off to the city!

We are on our way

In the next 15m we will be heading out the door. I’m as packed as I can be and anything I forget I’m sure I can find in NY somewhere. The logistics of this are complicated because I need to navigate the airport, handle the luggage alone, and be able to repack everything [...]

I need to pack

This time tomorrow I’ll be half way to NY!
This trip snuck up on me with the Halloween planning and party and school work and I feel a bit unprepared. I’m meeting pretty much my whole family in NYC to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday. I’m missing my midterm for class and that really stinks but [...]

Mohawk update

I’m sure you all have been wondering how the Mohawk  has been doing.  Keeping you up at night I’m sure…  Anyway, it is most definately in need of a mow.  Here is a pic from 5m ago, my model is deep in the war against something in his computer so he would not pose and since the [...]

out for the day

I’m at an event today – hopefully having fun.  Lars and Josh will be fighting until they drop, I will be hanging out and watching stuff.  Feel free to come visit me if you are at ToC

Happy Friday

Baby dr apt today and everything checks out fine. I am getting a little belly but I must be loosing from other places because I weighed in at exactly my pre-pregnancy weight from last time and I was wearing jeans and sneakers (and a shirt etc but that is negligible). There was the vague panic [...]

something pink

Today I was running short on inspiration so I went to Google and looked for ‘random question of the day’ and there are a lot of results but this site had a list that triggered a thought right away; “Is there anything pink within 10ft of you”. My first reaction was no since I’m at [...]

11/11

I am booked solid this afternoon so a quick story…
I have been sleeping with a big pillow so I can still simi sleep on my stomach (the bump is growing) and the other night I had a very vivid dream of wiping Niamh’s ever running nose. It was so vivid I got a tissue in [...]

Sick day

Yesterday Niamh succumed to the ick.  I know it was not H1N1 because she got the vaccine and I know its not a side effect because she got it 10 days ago.

All weekend she had symptoms but nothing really lasting until last night when she woke up every hour and in the morning she only wanted [...]

little weekend recap

So I found out who the troll’s are.  The part that is really bad is I considered them both friends, actually friends not just facebook ‘friends’ or a person I knew.  Both of them had half a dozen ways they could have come to me first with their concern and they did not.  I suppose [...]

Sunday

just in case I can’t write a good post today here is what I’m doing;
Enjoying the great warm weather
putting away all the halloween stuff
celaning the garage (maybe)
and tonight we are watching all the tv we saved up this week because we have been watching the Doll House (very good)
Last night we had a great anniversary [...]

Sorry not SCA people and nice SCA people but there is a troll among us.

5 Years ago right now

At 10:37 eastern time I was getting makeup done for my wedding. I had woken up, fed my crying nephew, taken a jog, taken a water pill to shrink me so my dress would fit because the crazy seamstress didn’t just take in the bust area that needed it, she took in the entire bodice… [...]

Minor Gevalia rant…

I like Gevalia coffee, I really like their pumpkin spice and their blueberry coffee and when I got the offer for their Seasonal Flavors (please remember this name, its important) I thought it was a good idea. The other two seasons are German Chocolate for winter and Pecan torte for spring. I’m not a fan [...]

ABC costing

Today most of my writing energy went to writing a short essay on the ABC costing method v traditional Predetermined Overhead Cost Distribution in regard to setting product price.  Please feel free to read and even edit if you feel like it.  This is a masters level managerial accounting course so it needs to be good [...]

Nov 3

Hummmm…. What to write about today. By writing every day I can’t just do a big summation of the week past or the week to come, I need to have content or something. Not that my daily life is not stimulating and exciting, yesterday was full of exciting work, tv, then sleep. Actually Niamh did [...]

Halloween

Halloween day was a blur of busy, I’m so glad we had help!  As always I over fussed about the party but it was a reason to really clean and declutter.  Any by declutter I mean all the stuff I didn’t get to got shoved in the back room.  I do intend to go through [...]

1B, or maybe 1A2

Most of my family should know by the title I have some news.  My grandfather used to code all of us by an alphanumeric scheme where the first number denoted his childs birth order and the second denoted their child’s birth order.  I was a  1A being the first child of his first child, I’m not sure [...]
