sick. sick. sick. sick.

I know I haven’t written about Peru yet.  I will.
Right now, I am so tired of being sick.  Every time I eat, the cramps start somewhere deep in my intestines.  Sometimes I sweat and I shake, other times it just hurts.  I am not going to the bathroom like I used to, and I lie [...]

dramatic life events & peru

We leave for Miami to catch a plane for Peru in 3 days. I have a glorious 18 days off of work, and am seriously considering not going back. But in this economy, that would be pure stupidity. Just have to find something better, right?
My sister in law moved out on Thursday [...]

new year’s.

The holiday of drunks everywhere.

Some drinking and pictures. I’m the fat white one on the left. Duh.

MIL, Mirko, me.  We can tell who the family lush is.

I do not know what that crap under the tree is, and at this point, I don’t care.

Living proof he’s not as normal as he says.  Before [...]

viva chimichurri

Last night, Mirko and I were on the hunt for a place to eat – I’d originally said Tijuana Flats, good cheap Mexican food.  I’m on a budget here.
So we wind up at an Argentinian steakhouse, where we ordered a parillada for two for 39.95.  It was enough food to feed a whole damn family!  [...]

seeing orange cotton in my dreaaaams

give me some more…just like that give me some more
booty keep bouncin’ booty keep bumpin’…
I am halfway done with the orange pinwheel baby blanket from hell.  With aqua trim.  It wouldn’t be so terrible if it didn’t seem so neverending…and if it didn’t have to be done in two weeks.  As I have been moaning [...]

i’m back!

I bet you didn’t even know I was gone.
I went to visit my parents last week, for only 4.5 days.  I am sad that I live so far away from my mom, but we had fun. On Saturday, there was a cook out – I drank too much and went to bed dizzy.  [...]

Classes started this week, and accounting may or may not kick my ass.  It’s [...]

9 days till classes start.

I’m going back part time.  I’ve done full time.  I’ve worked 42 hours a week while going full time.  But I am going back part time, one online class, one live class.  Why am I freaking out?  I’m not sure.  Maybe because I haven’t taken any classes, online or live, since May of 2006.  While [...]

WHERE ARE MY NEEDLES

Smartpost tracking says my needle tips and needles are supposed to be here TODAY from Knitpicks – following the pattern that, one day after my package leaves the Orlando sortation center, I get it.  I am in a new apartment, I am not sure if they will leave it outside my apartment (UPS did) or [...]

moving in

I wish I could say that I am all moved in, but I am still unpacking, and throwing away, and destroying. I spent all Tuesday obsessing that I had fleas in the new apartment, which we don’t – I’m an obsessive compuslive freak, basically, and must always find something to obsess over.
The old landlords [...]
