Phone frustrations

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Carrie

Apparently, cell phone batteries aren’t meant to be immortal. I suppose I knew that, but I don’t like signs of weakness, even (especially?) in technology. The past several days, though, I begin the day with a fully-charged phone and end … Continue reading →

Dun-dun-dun(tist)…

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Carrie

We went back to the dentist today. Sam cooperated. Gabe…did no handstands, I’ll give him that. Sadly, that’s the only credit he can get for the visit, aside from not actually screaming in the dentist’s face that he hated him … Continue reading →

Yeah, yeah, I’m here

Posted on February 24, 2010 by Carrie

Workin’ on somethin’. It’s a little consuming, but it’s almost done, at which point, I’ll be happy to share with the class. At the moment, though, I’ve got to wrap that up, do a quick look-over Sam’s homework with him … Continue reading →

Catch-up

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Carrie

Valentine’s Day was awesome. Eric did himself proud! I was in culinary heaven from beginning to end. Now I’m all sad, because he’s away for the week for work; after this, we’ll have him home for one week, and then … Continue reading →

Yesterday was AWESOME

Posted on February 14, 2010 by Carrie

Okay, first I ran just under thirteen miles with running club, the first five of which I did with a very fast runner who (lucky for me, not for him) was recovering from surgeries, so I could keep up. (Until … Continue reading →

I’m running low.

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Carrie

Low on me. I feel snappish, impatient, unkind, tense. I resent the effort it takes to do almost everything. I’m tired. In trying to remedy this, I’m using entirely wrong methods – junk food, caffeine, quick fixes that leave me … Continue reading →
