Random Picture Day

I was browsing through my picture folder on my computer and I found the file of all my scanned pictures–organized, it was not! I have probably thousands of pictures to scan and have barely made a dent.  And it doesn’t seem that I have any rhyme or reason as to what I’m scanning.  Still, there are [...]

A very successful beach trip

Okay, so the weather was not that wonderful…while it was positively summery in Hillsboro, it was foggy, windy and cold at the beach.  However, I’ve lived in Oregon long enough to expect that at the beach and it really doesn’t put a damper on the whole beach thing for me.
But, still, 2 notable things were [...]

Baptism update

So, I haven’t had time to post much lately as we’ve been getting ready for Lillie’s baptism, which was yesterday.  We had quite a crowd, brother #1 and his family came into town from Chicago (and DC, where his oldest daughter lives) and two of Pat’s cousins came–one from the Seattle area and one from [...]

Today is the day….

That I am officially full-term!  No need to break the champagne out, as nothing looks eminent yet.  Actually, my “due month” begins next Tuesday, so that is probably a better day to go by.  While I am definitely in the “get this baby out of my NOW!” phase, I would like to at least make [...]

Almost a white Christmas

For those of you not in Oregon, we are having snow…and cold weather…and lots of it!  A storm came through on Sunday, followed by cold air, which will be followed by another snow storm on Wednesday and Thursday.  The result of which is that many of us are homebound (my Studmuffin had to telecommute today [...]

Done!

Well, I took my last final tonight and I am DONE with classes…for a while!  I still have one prerequisite class to take that I was unable to take this term since both PSU and PCC canceled it.  Oh well!  I’ll take that, um, sometime!
So, now I have to get started on the holidays in [...]

Too much stuff!

I realized today that we (my Studmuffin and I) have a very long to-do list to finish before we are joined by the Little Otter.  For probably no one’s benefit other than our own, here is the list I’ve come up with…so far.
1 – Choose a theme (after, of course, we know if it is [...]

Pictures and stuff

Okay, I’ve finally put the pictures from Jordo’s birthday up on my Flickr site, for those you who might be interested.  Of course, this brings me to another point.  Why didn’t I post them here?
So, here’s the thing.  I personally know most of the people who look at this site.  However, I know that anyone [...]

Long overdue update.

So, it’s been 2 weeks since my last post.  Here’s what has been going on (and keeping me from posting):
1 – My Studmuffin and I celebrated our first anniversary–giving each other video game gifts (really, who needs paper!).  However, I ended up with killer heartburn on our anniversary night, so I can’t say it was [...]

Happy Birthday #5!

Today is #5’s birthday.  Our birthdays are only 11 days apart–well, 11 days and 14 years.  I forgot to put his card in the mail on time, so I made sure to call him last night to wish him a Happy Birthday.  I figure an early phone call would cancel out a late card.
Here we [...]
