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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It's miserable being chained to a desk inside while directly outside your window is a playground with kids having a great time in perfect weather.

You can always tell my life is going pretty swell when I stop writing in here for days at a time. Boringly swell, anyhow. Mondays aren't so inherently great, but Mondays when you decide to suck ...

Some people wanted to see pics of the Jack Daniels tiki torches. There are some pics on my twitter page: https://twitter.com/onacoffeybreak/media Today has been...meh. I hate Sundays. Well, I'll...

I woke up in even more pain than yesterday, so I bought some heating pads and Aleve. I was putting pressure on the most painful spot and felt something go "pop", so I'm hopeful that I fixed the p...

Fridays are the absolute best. I studied this afternoon and then spent the evening in bed because I managed to pull something in my neck and can't move it much at all. It's not like the kind of ...

Tonight I succeeded in making homemade tiki torches. Out of Jack Daniels bottles, since I have at least a dozen of them. I took a bottle and filled it with citronella. Specifically I just bough...

It's late and I've had a long day. I spent the whole day at work just trying to find motivation to do real work and failed, mostly. After work was date night at the franklin park conservatory. ...

Lots of interesting things are in the mix right now. One, I stopped by the friend of my mother's to inquire about the piano she is giving away. It's in fine shape; needs a key replaced (which co...

I had a rough day today, and then a really sweet thing happened...roomie came to therapy with me. I never expected it and it was so nice. I don't think he was comfortable to be there, but I was j...

I have been trying to wake up at reasonable times on the weekends. Reasonable, for me, means up and out of bed before ten. And then no naps after that, which I think is actually the harder part. ...

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to the fair. Today was the perfect day to go, since it was sunny but not too hot. And it seemed like everyone else in Columbus agreed with me, ...

My uncle (dad's older brother) came into town on Tuesday night and is leaving tonight (he had a high school reunion to attend in Illinois, I'm guessing it was the 35th or 40th), so my mom texted ...

For a month or two, I have been attempting to drink less Diet Coke. I'm not doing it because of the caffeine; I have such a minimal reaction to caffeine, and I don't suffer much in the way of wit...

I have been having a "what is WRONG with me?" morning. Every once in a while it the fact that I have a really great life just bitch slaps me in the face and I'm left wondering, why can't I apprec...

With the exception of buying a bookshelf for the study, I think I'm done spending money for a while. I still need chairs and a big bookshelf for the living room, and a new dining room table, and ...
