Month: August 2006

So Grace's black cherry themed potluck party tonight seemed a resounding success, at least to my amateur eyes. Sure, I almost didn't remember to write down the address (well, it doesn't help that my computer decided temporarily that starting up without freezing wasn't an option except in safe mode where the internet didn't work… of… Continue reading On Black Cherry themes

Yesterday's day off was an exciting day of reading, relaxing, and cleaning. Sometimes I just need days like that. Of course a lot of it had to do with the return of my symptoms of my cold. I really really hope my sore throat and stuffy nose goes away soon!! Summer colds are not much… Continue reading Updates from Ali's world

Somehow I think that things are going to be a-okay. Sure I've a lot of uncertainty regarding life — who doesn't? But you know what? The sun is shining, and there's simply so much possibility in the everyday day-to-day. Yesterday's work shift felt remarkably good (YES we're short staffed. YES I'd like more co-workers. If… Continue reading Life directions…

So I didn't sleep well last night. This isn't unusual lately, but I really hope that it doesn't become a habit, as I really hate staring at the clock at so many intervals throughout the night. Surprisingly even when I was playing frisbee with Tom this morning I didn't feel terribly tired. Now however, after… Continue reading Tired… really tired

So today, I've been infernally sore. All day. So sore in fact that this morning I didn't want to get out of bed and just rested there daydreaming until the realization that I ought to rise and shine struck me… I nearly never do that — stay in bed for so long, regardless of how… Continue reading Sore as all get out… and why??

… for the first time ever, and had an utterly great time! Now, not only am I sore in the shoulders (the way I woke up) and in the shins (from standing all day at work) but I hurt more due to tiredness and two-steppin'! Somethin' tells me that if it was that much fun… Continue reading Went to Cook County…

So I'm starting to see why there's this Facebook addiction. Ever since Boston (and I guess clearly before that as well) I've been finding out more and more why I like www.facebook.com Now, it's even letting me crosspost all my lj posts automatically into its notes system… a rather cool idea if I say so… Continue reading The Facebook addiction…

So I've returned from a rather great trip to Boston (and previous to that an amazing time at my grandparents' 60th). And while I returned with a cold, I did manage to make it home EVEN with the crazy security issues (who would have thunk I'd be flying through the Logan airport right following the… Continue reading Home from Boston… with a cold.

that is if you consider 'my great accomplishment of the summer' (well aside from this wonderful attestation that says I completed my studies at UQAM in French with my NAME SPELT WRONG… I suppose that's a rather nifty accomplishment too — fortunately a quick call to Monique and an email to the language school means… Continue reading Mission accomplished…

So Tomorrow I head North for my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary weekend. On Monday I'll be back in order to fly to Boston… I return from that on the 16th. Essentially… it means I won't be around again. So if you want to reach me… bug me after I return or something else like that.
