Filing an extension on my taxes. Just like last year.

Did some cross-stitching tonight.

I've been thinking about collections today. Every one collects something, Ryan has a huge collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, my mom collects rooster things, my grandmother collected thimbles, Ryan's grandmother collects spoons. I collect smashed pennies. But the sad thing is that I had a booklet almost full of pennies...

I am so stressed out about doing my taxes this afternoon that I've started drinking to calm my nerves.

It's one of those married nights where you tell each other, "I love you, but you annoy me sometimes." And usually I am the more annoying one.
I just need to survive Thursday. If I can do that then I can do anything.

Going to Chicago next week to shoot a set with writeboy and I'm pretty pumped I'll be shooting with him one day and then pookiebutt and I are planning a thrift store crawl around the city on the other day.

Ryan is sick with some bacteria thing that leads to pneumonia. But Duke won so he's content. I guess his world is balanced out.

Duke won! Now I can live in peace for a few months
Ryan and I were sick today, I started on another cross-stitch pattern today and worked on that for most of the afternoon.
Booted my computer and now have Windows 7, it's nice but my computer resolution is messed up, I can't get 1440x900. Scott has been trying to help me find drivers and...

I have been busy since Thursday when Mysi got here. I've been either shooting, fighting computer problems, hanging out with Mysi or cross stitching.
My reception computer which was also my personal computer caught a horrible virus that won't even let me open the web browser, so I had to back up everything and tomorrow will be spent working on wiping it and starting over....

It is glorious outside!!! We bought a cheap charcoal grill last night, set it up and cooked some burgers for dinner. It felt so good to just sit on the deck, watch the kitties in the window watch us, and not watch television or be in front of the computer, just Ryan, Scott, and Me, talking about nothing and watching the stars pop show up...

Happy Day Before April Fool's!
So, I pulled a prank on Ryan. I filled his mini-van full of balloons. It took me 2 hours to do since I had to blow them up myself (I bought a pump but the balloons wouldn't fit around it.) There were about 100 balloons. He runs on Wednesday mornings but he drives over to our friend's place to run...

Hanging out in my reception room tonight. Usually I have the house to myself on Monday nights because Ryan goes out to play DnD. However his DM's house had some problems so they're at our place starting a Delta Green game. I wish I could play, but they already have too many people. So I'm playing the Sims. I finally got the Perfect Garden life...

It's been a really really good weekend so far.

Ryan was offered a full time job in town yesterday. It's better pay, better hours, and on nice days he can walk to work. They liked him so much they're even letting him finish out the semester at the school he works at. I know he really enjoys being an aide at the school because he's...
