QOTW: Catching Up

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

With the move and everything I’ve missed my participation in Question of the Week. So here are my answers to the last few I’ve missed.
Question of the Week took a bit of a vacation itself for a little while, so this week’s question is: What is your favorite quick dinner at home?
My absolute favorite quick [...]

EW: Beginnings.

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

My Ergo Writing post from 19 March 2007 explaining how I started on this ‘writing’ thingummy:

I started writing in high school when I still lived in England. I would tell teachers I’d lost my exercise books and pay them 25 pence to replace them, miraculously find the other exercise book, and then keep the replacement. [...]

Redesigns

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

I don’t mean I’m doing a new layout for here, but I have added a bit to my design portfolio, and I’m going to get rid of Ergo Writing.
I’m not keeping up with that separate blog properly so I’m just going to combine the entries in with this one where I can, so that I [...]

Mad House

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

That’s what they must think of our place when they call, or we call. I tried to do something perfectly innocent today and got bitten for my troubles.
On the upside, and completely unrelated. We’re pretty much done with the old apartment! Yay! I turned the keys in today. Turned off the electric and gave them [...]

Fellow Moms

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

I love when I run across fellow Moms on the world wide web. Miss Kitty has a nineteen month old son. I find myself sympathizing with her while reading trauma in babyland having a small child can be so frustrating. For our part problems with the munchkin are coming from the fact that we seem [...]

Self Portrait Sunday

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

This weeks Self Portrait Sunday is brought to you by Gryffindor Pride!

And we have the bonus Munchkin self-portrait this week as well:

These self-portraits were actually taken yesterday because my husband needs our camera for work and I wanted to make sure I had everything taken off so he had plenty of space to record the [...]

Upgrades

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

In my quest to get the reman we bought working at a ‘decent’ level today I did the second memory upgrade and I installed a second DVD-ROM/burner.
Initially it had two 256 DDR chips in it mean it had a 512 RAM with a 160 Gig drive, which while not completely unusable was pretty rough considering [...]

Dear Baby…

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Yes, it’s time for another letter from your Mum.
I’m not quite sure I understand what your fascination with the brush is, maybe it’s a fifteen-month old phase but there’s a time and a place for declaring your love and while Mummy is trying to sweep up the mess you made by pulling the toothpicks down [...]

New Place!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

It’s time for a photo catch-up post. I’ve had these pictures for at least a week now but it’s taken me a while to get around to framing and claming them ready to post, and even so we mostly just have the ‘look at our pretty wall decorations’ so I will have to resize the [...]

Gaming and Gamers

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

If there’s one thing our family is, it’s avid gamers; be it playstation, board games, roleplaying or computer. I’m a big Sims addict but have been finding a lot of enjoyment in Final Fantasy and also in Baldur’s Gate games lately because of their connection to some of our role-playing.
A game that my husband introduced [...]
