Sorted by genre, author, and – where applicable – series.  Obviously, I need more books.
(Actually, there’s another bookshelf and a half full of my books, and two bookshelves full of Bradon’s books.  Still…need more books.)

Oy.
1.  It rained off and on all four days we were moving.  This not only resulted in soggy boxes and rain-splattered clothes, but also in me worrying the whole time about people tracking wet, muddy footprints all over my clean, new carpet.  (To be fair, they did a wonderful job of not tracking up the [...]

Today, I found out that I’m moving this weekend.  Surprise!
A couple months ago we were informed that we seem to have a radon leak in our apartment.  The apartment we’ve been living in for five years.  Great.  The management told us that we had to keep the fan running 24 hours a day so that [...]

After quite a while of doing really well, I seem to have fallen back into a slump of misery and confusion.  I am adrift, and looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.  As such, some questions:
1.  Do you love your job?  Like your job?  Tolerate your job?  Hate your job?
2.  How did [...]

Let me start by saying that, though Bradon and I are cluttered housekeepers, we are not unsanitary housekeepers.  Yes, we have piles of books, papers and yarn scattered around the house.  Yes, we don’t dust as often as we should.  But our apartment is not, as a rule, gross.  We don’t leave dirty laundry or [...]

We have returned from Ohio, the land of all things green.

I have a tendancy to forget just how green most of the rest of the world gets in spring.  (Yes, Carrie, Tucson is brown.  Well I remember.  *wink*)  Everywhere, the world was a riot of growing things – quite pretty, quite bad for the allergies.  [...]

Sorry, lovies…no blog of substance this week.  Tomorrow Bradon and I fly out to Columbus, Ohio for a friends’ wedding, and we’ll be out all week.  I’ll try to make at least some effort to keep up with Twitter and Facebook (yes, Facebook,) but no promises.  I hope you all have a fabulous week, and [...]

Thank you all, so very much, for your kindness.  It’s been a shit twenty-four hours, rounded out this evening by one of my aunts getting a confirmed diagnosis of throat cancer, and me getting rear-ended on my way to the salon.
Sigh.
(I am, obviously, fine.  The car is even fine.  It wasn’t much of an accident [...]

Today has been a day full of sadness, worry, and bad news on all fronts.  Nothing that I’m comfortable sharing here, since none of it really affects me directly, but my protective instincts and love for my friends and family are overwhelming.
If you’re the praying sort, or even if you’re not, please send out a [...]

(This post will be mostly whiny and terribly mundane – not quite “I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast” mundane, but close.  Consider yourself warned.)
Fucking shopping.
In a little less than two weeks, I will be attending a wedding out in Ohio, and while it is undeniable that I need a new dress for this [...]
