Ugh.

It’s way past my bedtime, and I’m just finishing up the things I have to get done. I spent too much of today running errands, driving around in 90+ degree heat without the air conditioning on (it sucks up about a third of my car’s power, and my car has no power to spare […]

Where Have I Been?

At my desk pouring all of my energy into work, mostly. We’re doing a major portion of a six-month-long project’s work in two weeks. I’m very much looking forward to 4 pm on Monday, which is the deadline for everything. Then I can get back to my third-trimester nesting and introspection.
Last night […]

We stopped at a yard sale Saturday while taking the scenic route home from our midwife appointment–one of those yard sales with lots of furniture, the kind I’m most likely to stop at. I found a sturdy oak two-drawer chest with lots of “character” for $10, and MFH found a magnetic tape recorder.
Later in […]

Hoofin’ It

I picked up a copy of the Minnesota Women’s Press (the local feminist paper) while we were out and about today. This column was, well, interesting: a Bloomington woman found herself without a car to drive to the transit Park and Ride (a mile and a half away), and transit adventures ensued.
She ended […]

Fourth of July
