Sleeping Beauty musings

I'm watching Sleeping Beauty with my cousin. I love this movie - as a kid it was my favourite, before the "renaissance" movies came along (ie, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast). I just have to say, though, Aurora's reaction to the fairies telling her she's a princess always annoyed me. "Hey, you're a princess! And sorry you can't keep your date with the guy you hung out with in ...

Star Trek

Star Trek was awesome! It was a whole lot of fun, filled with much squee-ing. Greek Fest was fun, too - ate some greek food, tried to dance to greek music, etc. And yes, we are nerds. We were first in line for Wolverine last week, and first in line for Star Trek this week. Ha.

Intruder Dog

These people down the street have this little tiny sort-of rat terrier looking dog. And they just let him out, no leash, no line or anything. So far it hasn't really a big deal - if we come outside with Indy, it's more an issue of keeping Indy calm. The little dog just usually barks but keeps his distance. Well today I took Indy out when I got home. She ...

1 Year Anniversary

Sunday was our one year anniversary :) I planned the weekend as a surprise - Chase usually plans all special "events" like birthdays and valentine's, so I thought I would do this one. We left Friday and drove to Heber Springs, AR, and stayed in a bed-and-breakfast. The whole weekend was just lazy, wandering around looking at stuff - which is exactly what we wanted. We didn't have to be anywhere ...

Kitty!

We have a stray cat who we feed at work. He has a little bucket-turned-bed and a food bowl next to our front door, AND he is spoiled - the people next to us set out a bed and food for him, too. I don't think he lives in the woods, though. While he's not exactly a "people-cat" he lets me pet him sometimes and will even rub against me ...

1st Anniversary

Our first anniversary is a week from tomorrow. While it doesn't seem like a year it's weird to me to think I've been married for a year! Chase is usually the one to plan this kind of stuff, and he likes to keep his plans secret from me. This time I'm the one planning the trip and keeping it secret :) I really hope he likes what I've gone planned. I've ...

Magic Erasers

Magic Erasers are so awesome. Ash discovered how well they could clean your shoes. Today I used one on my laptop. It's so shiny and sparkly, oooo it's like new again (on the outside anyway)

A redesign

I'm going to work on this blog this weekend, and get rid of this blogger-made design and replace it with my own. For now I at least updated my links and archive section over there. I'm really liking writing here again, instead of livejournal. Not that I'm going to switch completely, I'll keep using both, but it's nice. Haven't decided if I'm going to send all my posts to facebook ...

Cleaning

I took all but one of my photos down off my desk at work yesterday. Not for any bad reason or anything, but because I didn't have a single picture on there more recent than 2005. Get this - I didn't even have a picture of my husband on there, because the most recent picture up there was before I met him! It was all a bunch of old costume stuff, ...

A new start to my blog

I have been very neglectful of my personal blog the past couple of years. I've decided I ought to use it more - and not just to post stupid memes - so I've decided to start fresh, with a brand new blog and a brand new design. I have yet to redesign this -- that will be coming soon, but at least it's a start :)
