Scents and Sensibility

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I’ve never really been one for perfumes or make-up. Even when I was working full time I never made myself up. In fact I think until the last few rounds of job interviews I had I hadn’t worn make-up since I got married, unless you count Gothing Up for Halloween.
I’ve tended towards men’s fragrances, not [...]

In the mean time…

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I realize I still need to schedule an appointment for Gemma to go into one of the car lifts at our local mechanic’s shop and get an oil change; and my husband’s car needs a look-over as well.
Despite that we’ve been working on things we can’t fix. I started white-washing the front of the house [...]

Muddling Along

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

I’m still without a working computer of my own; but there are some good things going on in the mean time. We found a local person who is willing to assess the computer’s problems for a lot less than I had anticipated given Gateway’s assessment fee was over $100; and other places it’s usually at [...]

Virus — Death

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

My computer is currently kaput. I at least had some warning, and am only going to lose a couple of files if I have to nuke and pave; but it’s dead at the moment.
I knew it had a virus and my friend was supposed to be bringing me a program to fix it today; but [...]

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

In amongst all the other things to do with the diet we have a few things we’re going to do over the next week so that we can live in a better environment.
Tidy the loft.
Clean up the laundry room
Last of the boxes into Kore’s room
Go over the furniture with upholstery cleaner
Rearrange the pantry

Serious about the Diet

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I’ve been going on and on for quite some time about how I need to diet and then not sticking with it. This past weekend Kore and I were invited, along with the munchkin, to a barbecue held by a friend of ours, as we were in Wal-Mart picking up the food and things I [...]

Self Portrait Sunday

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

I actually remembered to take a picture for Self Portrait Sunday this week. I know I don’t look so happy…I was having a hard time lining things up in the Instinct to take the picture.

However, I am happy. The collar I’m sporting is actually part of my Valentine’s present. Hubbie got me the collar, and [...]

Expanding Business

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

More and more lately I wish we could just get a place of business instead of having to do things every which way, online, over the phone, via mail. It makes things very clunky and complicated, some days I feel it more than others.
Even though we don’t have a place yet that doesn’t mean I’m [...]

Valentine's Special

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Just wanted to mention in case I haven’t. I can never remember, and I don’t see it in recent posts, only on the twitter, that we’re doing a reading special at the tarot site right now. The romance readings are $5 off a piece, and the candles are still on sale. Both of these things [...]

Wine and Roses

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I find myself in a semi-romantic mood recently given the time of year. It’s an anniversary for us as I’ve said in other posts, and I was at the grocery store today stocking up and there’s, of course, things every where promoting Valentine’s Day. One of the main suggestions our grocery store has is to [...]
