I want to thank Elizabeth for coordinating Her Cozy Swap. Getting a package in the mail full of fun stuff just for me completely made my day, and thanks to Renee’s awesomeness (she was my partner) I’ll be enjoying it for a long time to come! Check out what I got. SO fun! Wasn’t that a lovely package? I think we need to do these swaps more often. :) 0 Like

One of the down sides of seeing doctors in the biggest & best medical center in the country is that when one sees said doctors one must park in the medical center parking garages, which cost upwards of $12 a day and are quite limited in their spaces. I park remotely when I work and take the train in, but when I’m only going to an appointment for an hour or so it’s about the same price to use the garage, so I do.

Current Book(s): Way too many. I was in between book club books, so I thought I’d quickly read The Jane Austen Book Club. The first chapter was about Emma, which I had just finished, and when I got to the second chapter and saw that it was on Sense and Sensibility I decided I wanted to read that first.

That’s when I picked up The Well at the End of the World by William Morris which was recommended to me by my brother-in-law. I made it through several chapters before the…

Today I had my first Valium, my first dental procedure, and my first surgery. It was probably the weirdest feeling I’ve experienced in my life. When I woke up afterward I didn’t have any pain or nausea, but I immediately started crying. I was overwhelmingly emotional, which was NOT in my patient education handout. I guess they’re not used to such hormonally-imbalanced women as me. Apparently they had to break my bottom two teeth up into pieces to remove them. How pleasant. So far – other than the first few hours when my mouth was stuffed with gauze that made me want to gag (but I guess that was better than when I removed it only to have my  mouth…

Over the weekend David and I found ourselves discussing our respective domestic chores. Since we were left with nothing but applesauce, hummus, and pickles in our fridge, it was time to go shopping. After a brief discussion about what we needed David said to me, “You’ve let us run out of some things lately.” Feeling an assault on my wifely skills, I immediately responded on the offensive. “Who do you think cleans the house and does your laundry? Who is planning this week’s meals and is going shopping?” He came right back with, “Who cleaned the floors the other day? And you may go on a big shopping trip once every two weeks, but I buy a lot of little…
