I managed to lose my ID and bus pass ON the bus. I had it when I got on, but didn’t when I got off. They did find it at the end of the day, but the bus office is no where near my work, and they are only open 8-4:30. Oh, and the bus [...]

Game Day
Yesterday we went to our school’s football game. It was a good – the fans are quite nice, and the stadium isn’t bad, either. Oh, except for the packing ‘em in like sardines part. Having personal space on a bleacher seat isn’t really in the plan to sell the most tickets possible.
We forgot to [...]

Friday Catblogging
The Blog is in time-out until things settled down. Things are going great; I really do love the new jobs. But it’s amazing how I find myself no longer, um, doing blog posts at work since I actually, you know, like the work. So I’ll probably only be doing one post on a week night [...]

I am really looking forward to returning to my passion. I know no job is perfect, but I feel so happy at this change. As a Lutheran, vocation has always been important to me. It can’t just be [...]

I still haven’t gotten around to replacing these pillows. I’m only working part-time next week as I transition into the new jobs, so that’s on my list of things to sew. And you can see the lovely flannel covering we put down over the seats of the couch (we remove it when company [...]

Blue Eyed Child
Babies are pretty nondescript until a certain age, so I don’t think I’m violating any chance of identifying this baby. He’s the child of close friends of ours, and I got to visit with him and his mom on a recent business trip to their state. He has the bluest eyes.
This was our second time [...]

Rug
I don’t think I ever showed you the new rug. We got it on clearance at Kohl’s. Matches perfectly with the blue furniture, tan curtains and chocolate brown recliner. Samwise looks a little evil in this picture. Don’t mind that. He’s a sweet kitty, I swear. Here’s the furniture shot before the new rug.
