Benjamin 1, Tree 0

(Aside, you know, from the electrical, phone, and cable lines.)

Around 10:40 this morning I went out to what had been an arena barn when horses lived here, but is now used for vehicle and equipment storage, (it also has a small fenced area for expecting female alpacas and the recently weened). I fed the six alpacas in that barn before...

Day 2

I met another neighbor today, Monnie (pronounced like Lonnie but with an M). She knocked on my door at 8am, sending Nefret through the metaphorical ceiling. She told me Louis & Beverly, the owners of The Tree, are in Florida for three more weeks, and then wanted to know what my plan was for moving it. I didn't have a coat, shoes, or...

Update, 4:51am

I'm sweltering beneath the blankets and the cats. The house is freezing and dark and Nefret is having nightmares. Of course I have to pee.

I can hear the tap in the bathroom crackling from time to time. There is the occasional cat fight as cats who detest one another try to get as close to me as possible. There's a lot of...

Update, 10:47pm

It's 22 degrees outside and 54 degrees inside. The plus side is that the tap water is really and cold. The minus is that the tap water is really cold. I have all the taps on just a bit so we should be ok.

I'm in bed in socks. I haven't worn socks to bed since maybe Iowa. They're thick SmartWool socks and...

Blizzard-Palooza 2009

It is, at the moment of this writing, 8:48pm on Wednesday January 28, 2009. I'm sitting in my car, charging my cell phone, and warming my feet. About twenty minutes ago two flashes of lightning accompanied by ozone flavored Pops! signalled the return of power to my neighborhood. Not so much to my house: the lines connecting me to the grid are beneath...

Avoidance

My Mom asked me to help her print out the invitations to the Wedding Rehearsal dinner. I told it it would be easier if I just print it out, and asked her to write the copy. I now have... sixty-some-odd RSVP cards and odd little invitation envelopes to run through my printer one by one. It's going pretty smoothly (when it goes) but I...

25 Random Things About Me

from a meme wandering around Facebook

1) I used to think I was a pet person, favoring neither cats nor dogs but loving them both. Then I adopted a great dane puppy. I can honestly say I am a cat person.

2) I used to listen to music in the car. Now I listen to podcasts and NPR when I'm...

Peace & Love at the Post Office

After driving back from Cincinnati this morning (my fiance lives in Cincy, for those of you who don't know) I ran a number of errands, one of which (as the title of this charming little blog might suggest) was to stop by the Mt. Washington post office. I needed stamps for more wedding invitations and, while I was...
