  Easing back into things: Week 8 of 2012 in photos

  Last week was transitional, really, and I didn’t have the energy to post these photos last night, but here is last week’s set of photos. Monday morning we got up at 3am and had a 5am flight to Maui. Redeyes are usually cheapest (which is our motivation, though I’m not sure for how much longer–…

  Here, there, and everywhere: Week 7 of 2012 in pictures

  This week’s photos will be without much more explanation than what they themselves contain. Please bear with me. Monday, 2/13, we got to welcome home a certain ship. ^_^

  My Little Helper

  Cats all have funny little habits. As someone who spends a lot of (let’s call it) quality time with her cats, I especially notice their odd habits. While I’m convinced that Caspian (a.k.a.

They freeze, they jam, they just don’t work and no one knows why. I also tend…

  Bookshelf Shopping: Take 1

  Actual Conversation I just had with Furniture Store Employee: I went into a few furniture stores today to look at bookshelves. I’ve reached the point where I can no longer squeeze all of my books onto the shelves that survived the move– two broke, and I gave away enough books at the time to be…

  Revisiting Childhood: The Valentine Ritual

  Just a little memory I had tonight… When I was little, my grandparents came to visit us quite often. Thinking back on it, they were probably at our home every other month. It certainly felt like that, anyway. Because of this, they would always come visit for Christmas, and then be back sometime around February.…
