  • Extreme archery!

    Posted on June 30, 2009 by Dan in random.

    Because it was 103 degrees. One hundred and three degrees. While we were outside. Shooting arrows at targets. And also, while we were packed inside a tiny NON air conditioned room taking the informational class beforehand. Ugh. But, learning archery has been one of Dan’s “would most like to do” things for awhile now. Lately, […]

  • Letter from the Management

    So, we’ve heard from a few people that you can’t leave comments on the blog, which we have double-checked and updated in our settings. Everyone can, you just need to make sure to click on one of the last two options — either “Name/URL” where you can just type in your name, you don’t have […]

  • Hello? (echo, echo)

    Well, I realize that it’s been about a month and a half since we’ve written here, so who knows if anyone will actually read this. I’m not entirely sure why we haven’t been updating, but we do feel pretty bad about it, and the stern talking to we’ve gotten from some folks has just heaped […]

  • Take five Wednesday.

    Project go vegetarian for a week is complete. I stuck to it (although on Sunday, I got a soup with a base of chicken broth, which I felt bad about later) and had some brisket for lunch. Not really that exciting. I do think I’m going to be eating less meat for awhile. Wow, that […]

  • I heart grocery stores.

    So, this eating vegetarian thing is going fine, although the first two nights totally reduced us to eating like college students. One night, pasta and sauce from a jar. The next night, pancakes and eggs for dinner! Tonight, I think we finally got our act together and made sweet potato and black bean burritos. Feeling […]

    This week I’m trying to go vegetarian for a week, starting today. We shall see how it goes. So far, so good (considering I skipped breakfast so have only had two meals). There are a bunch of reasons why – none of which are super important to me, I’m just kind of trying it out. […]

    5 things that have made you laugh lately 1. My cats being ridiculous 2. A student tonight at our Hall Association meeting – he wanted to be appointed a position and stood up and read a prepared speech and passed out his resume to everyone. It was adorable/awkward. Don’t worry, I only laughed on the […]

  • NOT a let down

    Posted on January 21, 2009 by Dan in random.

    So I went to the doctor today (nothing to be concerned about) and in the interest of full disclosure, it was the “lady doctor”. I was recommended to my new doctor by a co-worker and this may sound stupid, but I haven’t ever had such a positive experience with a doctor. So I got there, […]
