Good writing progress

We headed to Tyson’s Corner this morning to pick up Kelly’s wedding ring, which had come yesterday. This time, it fit perfectly. We stopped at Cinnabon so that I could eat something. And we stopped at Banana Republic for Kelly to do some dress shopping (and I got a shirt). Then it was back home, where Kelly [...]

It’s all a matter of taste

Productive day at work, mostly working on data migration scripts. I listed to three full Metallica albums in the morning, first time I’ve done that in a while. (And because strausmouse will ask which ones: Master of Puppets, And Justice for All, and The Black Album.) We had our "end of summer" BBQ lunch today and that was nice. [...]

I want candy

I wasn’t as successful completing my list as I had hoped to be today. I did produce my massive list of reports, I took my suits to the cleaners, I picked up Kelly’s stuff from the cleaners, and we worked on narrowing down our First Dance list. I didn’t complete anything else on the list, although I made progress reading [...]

Welcome to the occupation

We awoke this morning to bright, clear blue skies and sunshine. It was absolutely gorgeous out and we threw open the windows and tried to absorb it all. We lazed around for the early part of the morning, watching Charles Osgood on Sunday Morning. But after that, we were busy for the rest of the [...]

The roads must roll

Just finished up 4 scene critiques for the writers workshop. Professor Gunn has us working on "setting" this week. I think I have two more critiques to write, but those scenes haven’t been submitted yet so there’s not much I can do. Very productive day at work today. My Universal Importer for the Big Application we’ve been [...]

Moody

I was moody this evening for reasons I can’t really explain. I’m rarely moody, but there I was this evening, with a little bit of inexplicable attitude. Saturday too. I blame it on the fact that I spent all day in "programmer mode" (I was in a lesser "programmer mode" on Saturday). But still, that doesn’t really seem [...]

Peaceful weekend, part 3

Labor Day! I slept in later this morning than I did any other day of the weekend. I didn’t get up until 8:20 AM. Kelly had gotten up earlier, ate something, and then came back to bed for another 20 minutes. Then we finally got up. I had some toast and peanut butter for breakfast, and then did some [...]

Peaceful weekend, part 1

Kelly and I planned for these to be a peaceful weekend–our first one in over a month, since moving to the new house. And for the most part, today was very peaceful. I went to bed early last night–by accident. I got in bed to read, and before I knew it, I just couldn’t focus on the page any longer. [...]

Hump-day

Busy day at the office today. At one point during the day, I think I was doing 5 things at once. I was in a phone meeting, eating a sandwich, replying to an urgent email, participating in a IM meeting, and jotting notes on my whiteboard, all more or less at the same time. A [...]

Wedding showers, parking tickets, baseball, oh my

Despite being up so late last night, Kelly and I were up before 8 AM. Everyone else was up shortly thereafter. I decided to cook breakfast for everyone. stubiebrother helped. I made two batches of pancakes, and Jason made a whole bunch of scrambled eggs (with an without cheese). People said it turned out pretty [...]

Strings

After work yesterday, I stopped home to pick up Kelly and then returned to the office in order to hear one of my coworkers (and softball teammates) play violin in my office. She will be playing at our wedding ceremony and she wanted to let us listen to a variety of music that can be [...]

Busy Sunday

Up before 8 AM, had breakfast and got ready for the day. We dressed up nice because we had our engagement photo re-shoot this morning up in Columbia, Maryland. We left here around 8:30 and arrived at the lake shortly before our photographer. It was really pretty there at that time of the morning. The [...]
