    I’m sorry.. here’s a cat pic as apology

    Here I was really trying to starting blogging on a regular basis here again, and I’ve totally NOT done that lately LOL With all the house and Dragoncon stuff I’ve just been super busy. We leave for Dragoncon Thursday and hopefully we’ll be closing on the house not long after we get back. Once that happens, life should go back…

    House hunting again

    I hate house-hunting. But hopefully everything will go smoothly. We’ll know where we are by the end of the week – so we can see what our options are. BTW – here’s my twitter. I’ve gotten to where I use it pretty often. We are off to Metropolis for Superman Celebration this weekend. Lots of work left to do between…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Indiana the Genius Dog

    Indy will take anything I hand her. She’ll usually drop it after a few seconds once she realises it’s not food. Well last night I was walking into the kitchen to throw away a piece of paper, and as I did Indy came walking around the corner. She looked up at me so I handed the piece of paper to…

    Box of Rainbows and Magic (aka Books)

    I got my shipment from Barnes & Noble yesterday – all the books and dvds I ordered with my leftover christmas gift certificate 🙂 It really was like christmas, too – I got 4 new books and 2 dvds (Tudors season 2 and Shakespeare in Love – the 2nd one because I had like $10 more left on my card…

    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…

    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…

    Valentines!

    So Valentine’s Day was really nice… Chase surprised me with a Beatles DVD and a toy set of two unicorns (Good Unicorn vs Evil Unicorn lol). Then we went to the Tower Room, a restaurant I didn’t even know was there… it’s on the 33rd floor of Clark Tower, and it was really cool watching the sunset from way up…

    Animal Crossing pics

    I stole some pics from Ash. She took & uploaded all these. All I did was steal them. Me (on the left, with WW shirt), Ash (top), and Kevin (bottom) standing in my living room! With my fishing trophy! Ash (on the left) and me outside of Nook’s. Us meeting Kevin for the first time. Like my gas mask? My…

    christmas 2008!

    Our first Christmas was really nice 🙂 I got a new laptop bag, a really nice top hat for my Zatanna costume (the one I had at dragoncon was a rental), a new external harddrive, lolcat magnets, the new dvd shelf we wanted, a wine cooler (LOL yeah we drink so much wine), lots of new clothes, etc. Also a…

    blurb = FAIL

    So. I made & ordered four photo books through blurb.com as christmas presents. All wedding photos, nice hardback coffee table books for my parents and grandparents. I had it shipped to my parents’ house, as I always do (less chance of someone walking off with it than at our house). I warned my mother not to open it when it…

    Ornaments and Hair!

    Chase and I bought our first two Christmas ornaments together – Wall-e and Beauty and the Beast 🙂 I won’t be doing Leia at events for a while – I was tired of my hair and told Frankie to do whatever he wanted to it, so he dyed it purple yesterday. It eventually fade to a deep, deep burgundy once…
