Bit of Ivory

I’ve now officially been working at my job for a week and one day. I like it. There are still some things I’m unsure about, but most of it is starting to become familiar. At the moment I’m concentrating on the front desk, although there is a strong possibility that I’ll move to the actual […]

So Wednesday was my birthday. It was good. There was lunch at Tucano’s (a Brazilian steakhouse) and yarn shopping and other shopping and See’s chocolate and Backer’s Bakery cake and Litza’s pizza.

Long time, no update. I’m so bad. Really must get back into the groove of doing this. Because it’s not like things haven’t been happening. We had a fabulous time in Disneyland. Seriously, it was one of the best trips ever. The only damper on the thing was that I got tendonitis in both legs […]

My employer is closing. I’m losing my job. Maybe by the end of the week, definitely by the end of next. This royally sucks.

I’m so sorry for all of you who don’t live where I do. If I had a TARDIS or a transporter or if we could actually Apparate, I’d make sure you all got to enjoy this day. Seriously, guys, it’s gorgeous out there. And it may be gorgeous where you are, too, but you don’t […]

1) I got my hair cut. Really cut. As in, it hasn’t been this short since I was in 2nd grade. I also put in highlights and lowlights. I’ll take a decent picture of it soon. I’m getting no end of compliments on it. 2) The new carpet is going in my bedroom tomorrow. Yayness! […]
