I am a deadline-oriented person. I actually love deadlines and thrive on them, which is a good thing because deadlines play a huge role in my field. Lately, I’ve had to deal with some deadlines, but found myself not liking one of the deadlines. I am still doing that biweekly layout/design work for that auto…
This weekend was a big ‘ol family reunion of sorts. Mostly with J’s sisters and significant others coming to New England and wreaking havoc. J’s sisters (SILAdventure & SILMeow) live in Denver and Chicago, respectively, so we don’t all get together often, aside from occasional holidays. So it’s nice to gather just for the hell…

ShortShorts has been very giving with the vegetables this summer! And we picked up some fresh garlic from another gardener we know. It’s the best birth control yet.
And I’m not even doing it!!! This training schedule has me very tired, very tired. Today, we drove up to the triathlon site and completed the bike and run. No swimming yet. We did try to go swimming again, but got the hours mixed up and the pool was closed. I think J is destined…
