New landscaping (and a tiny John Deere)
So last Saturday, Metro Greenery brought the whole crew out and installed our new ‘feature,’ as well as two pallets of sod. Jackie Simpson, the owner, was extremely helpful in keeping the cost down while still improving our curb appeal. If you compare these photos to the ones after the storm, you’ll see what a […]
The kind of thing old married people laugh at
Rich had a stress test this afternoon (his results were great, thanks for asking), and he had to fill out all the usual forms at the doctor’s office. Along with other questions about medical history and conditions, there was a question about oral contraceptives. We speculated whether or not “oral contraceptives” would include him saying […]
A new yard tomorrow
We’re having some more landscaping done (that’s in addition to the azaleas and podocarpus we had put in a few months ago). Metro Greenery will be installing some sod and a “feature” in our barren wasteland of a front yard. I wonder if they’ll pick up all the branches, too…. I guess the debris in […]
Now their wi-fi connection isn’t working…
…So I couldn’t blog at Central Market at all! (And you’ll notice I finally got rid of the “I Have…” title thing. Oh well.) So I’m back in my office, trying to keep from being too bummed. Rich hasn’t been out of work for long (he’s actually still officially on the payroll for another three […]
I have a little Ubuntu and a big afghan
Well, this Wednesday’s post is even later than usual. I have early Wednesday mornings set aside for blogging (in a time slot that used to be a networking group but is now only a social get-together-for-breakfast-if-anybody-shows-up thing), and I take my little Dell 9″ Inspiron to Central Market Cafe to do it. But in one […]
I have to allow more time!
Really, I have to start allowing more time for blogging. Net-Net isn’t quite as dead as I thought, so when I show up at Central Market on Wednesday mornings there are actually people there to talk to and interact with. So I end up not starting writing until later than I’ve planned. So today we’re […]
I have to say…
… that things do or do not work out, and that’s just the way it goes. Sometimes the time you have set aside for blogging turns out to be really productive and you get lots written. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes other people actually show up to the networking meetings you’re ostensibly attending, and you spend […]
I have my reasons….
Now, then. Where was I? Okay, so things have happened since we last spoke. Rich got word that his work group at Nokia Siemens Networks is being shut down in June, one of our dogs died, my sister is being forced to retire and her cat died, and my beloved Stars didn’t make it into […]
I have to stop this!
Not the blog, the title. When I started this, I happened to give the first couple of posts titles that began with, “I Have…,” and I thought I’d continue it. The TV show Friends did that. If you recall, their episode titles were all, “The One….” “The One With the Ring,” “The One Where No […]
