It's official: I have had enough of winter in Just the ordinary things
Yesterday's snow left some, but not a lot of snow. We were not hit like the City was. Then there's to be another one either tonight or tomorrow, and we're supposed to get clobbered. To say that I...
Janurary 2014 in The Reviews for 2014
Not too bad for January -- 15 reviews. That works out to a review about every other day. Now if I could just get caught up with my book reviews... http://www.epinions.com/review/AnnePerryTheTwis...
The Demise of OD in Just the ordinary things
I guess it is official. OD is shutting down. I am a bit shocked, but not surprised, giving all of the problems that the site has been having in the last year or so. I do wish that Bruce had been ...
Books in Just the ordinary things
J is in a wild snit ever since he got home and demanded pasta for dinner. But he didn't want a tomato sauce. He didn't want asian. He just whined and got pissy about it. Damn hard for me to make ...
Two more titles in Books that I am getting rid of
All the Queen's Players by Jane Feather The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaajte
Saturday, very quiet, with rain in Just the ordinary things
It's been raining on and off all day. When it is heavy, it gets nearly deafening on the roof. Tonight's dinner was short ribs in a barley stew, with rolls. J is getting very good at making rolls,...
Cold again, great programme on PBS tonight. in Just the ordinary things
Very very cold here today, I doubt that we got out of the single digits. All three of the kitties were more than happy to cuddle with me. I kept dozing off in my chair, which means I got very lit...
Monday is damn cold today in Just the ordinary things
Very cold today. My right knee was aching very badly for most of this evening, and the other joints just aching. I wish there was a line where I can get a new body; I wouldn't mind being eighteen...
Downton is BACK! in Just the ordinary things
Ooh, happy dance. Sat through the first two hours of season 4 of Downton Abbey tonight, and I have to say that this season promises to have plenty to chew over. (Spoilers here, so skip ahead if y...
This winter in Just the ordinary things
Last night, I was having problems with my hip and knee, and it took some reading for me to finally relax enough (and the pills to kick in) for me to finally go to sleep. So I burrowed under the c...
It's new years and all that. in Just the ordinary things
Oh goodie, I see we're going to get smacked around by another storm in the next few days. I tend to care less about New Years. I'm not a drinker, I'm not that much of a football fan. That pretty ...
A new year in Just the ordinary things
A new year. J pretty much as normal. Me just trying to stay out of the line of fire. Read 118 books this year, which is an improvement over last years numbers. Everything aches tonight, and it se...
Breaking bad in Just the ordinary things
I've been veging today and watching the Breaking Bad marathon on AMC. I'd forgotten just how good that series was, and how much it really pushed the envelope. Not for sissies, that's for sure. ...
More titles in Books that I am getting rid of
The Pursuit of Mary Bennet by Pamela Mingle
Fruitcake in Just the ordinary things
Well, got another two fruitcakes made today. And tomorrow is cookie baking day. Such is my life... I also managed two reviews -- The Curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters, and the movie Upsi...
More snow, and the like. in Just the ordinary things
We had more snow overnight. It took J two hours to get home last night, so you can guess that I was in a pretty worried state waiting for him. I hate it when he has to drive over the bridge when ...
What I have. available in Books that I am getting rid of
The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan (Mass Market Paperback) Spirit Gate by Kate Elliot (hardbound) The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble (trade paperback)
Cold today. SCA Kerfuffle in Just the ordinary things
Today was brutally cold. The appointment with the psychiatrist was today, and that went well. Then it was off to the local gourmet market to find food -- lovely, lovely oranges, nice and heavy. A...
There are days. in Just the ordinary things
Sometimes J is an enigma to me. Lately he has taken up the behaviour of asking me what I am doing every day. And it seems that cooking meals, the washing up does not count. Neither does writing r...
Karma is a Bitch; horrible news in Just the ordinary things
Karma at times can be a lovely, lovely thing. It seems that my ex, The Weasel hit the pinnacle of his SCA yearning, got that coveted baronial coronet, and it seems that there were some bad words ...
The itch has begun. in Travels
I have decided t hat I want to go somewhere -- this year is probably out, but '15 is a definite maybe. Celebrity has an Australia/New Zealand package that looks to be great fun, and I am very int...
Books and pizza in Just the ordinary things
I really need to be writing reviews right now, but at the moment, I'm working on getting caught up on ratings, and laughing myself silly over the comedy channel. Yes, I do laugh on occasion. Now ...
Hurrah! It's finished at last. in Just the ordinary things
Today the yarns from Belgium arrived, and I was able to finish a project that has been languishing for a long while now. The funny part is, it just took me a few minutes to fill in what I needed ...
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... in Just the ordinary things
I broke down and signed up for Dramafever. It's one of those websites where you can stream foreign television and movies. In particular Korean films. Last night I was finally able to watch the bi...
Sunday. in Just the ordinary things
Braised the lamb shanks for dinner. J was happy. Miss Sophie has been playing Queen of the Castle with the new cat tree. She definitely loves the top perch for herself. Phantom has been explori...
