I’m coming down with something dreadful. I already have allergies something terrible this time of year, so I had assumed it was just that, but now I’m running a fever and my head feels stuffy.

G’s second birthday party was today, although technically his birthday isn’t until the end of September. It’s just how it worked out with family in town. We also have C’s sister and her two kids...

Almost…there…! Another hour and a half at work and I’ll be free to enjoy my long weekend! We should have more of those. Tonight C’s sister and her husband and kids are visiting Cbus, so they’re s...

I’m losing these last few days of summer. Tonight I went to the dog park with K (sister) and we let our dogs run around for a while, which they all seemed to enjoy (I wasn’t in the mood for a lon...

The tutoring job went very well! The student is a 10th grader and doesn’t consider herself to be “good” at math, but she was understanding the things we went through. I think the problem with a l...

I think the dogs are settling in alright. Yesterday while I was at work we had an incident. One of the dogs (not sure which one, but we are guessing Lincoln, who C has owned for over nine years) ...
august 25
I have a feeling that owning a dog is going to result in a lot of work! Last night I went to bed around 10:30 and the dogs were all downstairs (we have two baby gates, which serve a double purpos...
august 24
We went back to the animal shelter today and adopted the weimaraners! They look almost brown in these pics, but the larger one, Thomas, is a light grey and the smaller one, Cadence, is dark gre...
august 23
Today it was hotter than it has been for most of the entire summer, and it was muggy, so we decided to take G to one of the dog shelters in the area, "just to look." Bad idea. We got there and i...

I am trying to not eat out anymore, when I can help it (I spend most of my money on food in restaurants! Unbelievable). So tonight I got some...chicken, mangoes, pineapple, strawberries, mint, or...

You know what's difficult? Trying to convince a not-quite-two-year-old that you're not really so bad when his dad is in a doctor's appointment and you have to take over for twenty minutes. There ...

My second meet up went well. It was full of old women, and at one point the conversation turned to menopause, but I had a nice time. That's it, I guess.
august 19
My office is right next to the north side of our outerbelt, and it seems like there are accidents happening regularly right outside my window. It can be pretty distracting. I made that goat chees...
august 18
The eating well challenge is going great, one week in. As I think I mentioned already, last week Tuesday through Friday I ate a healthy version of tuna salad (had avocados and Greek yogurt instea...
august 17
It's been a long day (at least for me!). I'd like to say I went to church, but C asked me last night if I wanted to go to the zoo today with him and G. I figure, I don't have a lot of nice-weathe...

Today we drove up to Dayton for L's daughter's second birthday party. It was windy, and it started raining while we were chowing down on cake. So we were only there for about two hours. We got he...
august 15
Happy payday! Tonight was a last-minute day off from kid duty, so we spent the evening doing totally crazy things. I wish. We just ended up going on two long walks. On one we walked down through ...
august 14
My first meet-up yesterday was fun. I had a hard time later in the day convincing myself that I REALLY wanted to go after all, but fortunately C was being very encouraging about the whole thing a...
august 13
Tonight is my first meet up! I'm all kinds of anxious about it, but I'm sure it will be fine. And, if I do feel awkward and out of place the entire time, at least it's a few hours of needlecrafti...
august 12
Oof. I just shelled out $102 for G's birthday cupcakes and a mini cake for those guests not cupcake-inclined (we will have around 25). And we haven't even purchased the cute monkey-themed individ...
august 11
I had my first piano lesson in ten years tonight. I get very anxious before things like this, and I had to get C to drive me over there since I was a little freaked out. It ended up being fine; g...

Well. When I said that last night's bachelorette party couldn't be THAT bad, I was kidding myself. It was bad. Really, really bad. Well, not the kind of bad where I wake up not sure what happene...
august 9
I was texting R, the former coworker friend, last night, and she mentioned that she was on her way to Columbus. She never tells me these things in advance, otherwise I would carve out some time t...
august 7
There have been some (in my opinion, ridiculous) legislative changes going on that you probably wouldn't have heard about unless your world is enveloped in pension plans. And mine is. It's the H...
august 6
I had a great day. Other than having to wake up at five to get to work an hour early, it was great. I had a productive morning, which is rare this time of year for me, and then roomie came and p...
