http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:38:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Ahhh.  The joys of air conditioning!  I got tired of the house smelling musty and yucky, so I got a rare hair up my butt and decided to steam-clean my carpets.  Boy, were they dirty!  They're probably still not completely clean, but they are far less dirty than they were.  ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/off-to-the-wilds/ Our weekend was quite lovely.  How was yours??? On Saturday we engaged in some excellent retail therapy at the premium outlets with my good friend Angela and her mother.  These two ladies are seriously some of the excellent-est women in the entire world, and I thoroughly enjoy their company. Of course, I ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/hurricane-in-my-living-room/ Lena was so kind as to tag me for the six-word memoir meme that's been making the rounds.  Here are the rules: Write a six-word memoir. Post it to your blog including a visual illustration if you would like. Link to the person who tagged you in your post and to this original ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/il-bel-far-niente/ .... but bringing myself back out again!! I feel soooooooooooooooooo much better today.  No tears today; instead I am laughing and joking with Kurt.  You can see the relief in his face when I laughed out loud for the first time today.  He just doesn't know what to do with me ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/down-in-a-hole/ It is clear that I'm in the grip of a hormone-induced malaise. This is not a good thing. Today was no better than yesterday, and in fact, it was quite a bit worse.  However, today's depression wasn't sparked by anything.  Not really, anyhow.  I woke up at 8:30am in a panic, realizing ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/you-gotta-spend-some-time-love/ I should really take my own advice more often, wouldn't you think?  Or at least the advice on the signs I have around the house... So yeah, I seriously need to put my big girl panties on and just DEAL WITH IT already.  But in my defense, it hasn't been the ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/put-em-on-already/ I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! The weekend went extremely well, of course.  Why wouldn't it?  We ran into a teensy bit of traffic getting across the Throgs Neck Bridge (what the heck is "Throgs Neck" anyhow?) between the tolls and a closed lane, but it only added fifteen minutes to our trip.  I thought ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/back-to-the-grind/ Not to keep posting photos of my 7 Days run, but this photo pretty much sums up what is going on in my life right now.  Just... ugh. For one thing, we'd just filled up the gas tank at $4.05.  That's the best price on the island, fortunately, and it hadn't ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/ugh/ I forgot to mention in yesterday's entry that I indulged in a lovely pot of something called "chirashi sushi" during lunch with my in-laws.  As they ate relatively normal food, I dug into a bowl full of sashimi and seasoned rice.  Yes, folks -- I ate raw fish.  Plus there ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/please-dont-despair-my-dear-mon-frere/ Stick a fork in me, I am DONE.  Finis.  Todo.  Finito.  The END. *lays head down on laptop, begins to snore* Who knew having company was so tiring?!  Let's just use my pregnancy as an excuse.  I've been doing it for a while now; don't fix what ain't broke, right? My in-laws arrived ... http://bluesleepy.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/where-it-stops-nobody-knows/
