What a busy month! I can’t believe how much I’ve neglected writing in the blog, so I’m gonna blame work for that! 😛 I’ve been really busy trying to put together purchase plans and distributing and configuring new computer systems for the library that my time has just disappeared on me. By the time I get home I just wanted to vedge in front of a game or do some reading. On the gaming front, I was jumping into WAR fairly regularly, playing both my Order and Chaos toons. Then … Continue reading

Ok, I’ve been playing Warhammer a bit this weekend and it’s really starting to piss me off in some areas that are just horribly designed.

My shopping list included quite a few herbs, some showy flowers, and some scented flowers: Rosemary Thymes (various types) Lavenders (various types) Mints (various types, esp. chocolate, spearmint, and apple) Creeping Verbenas Geraniums (pelargoniums, … Continue reading
OY! It has been totally crazy around my neck of the woods and I feel like I haven’t had any time for myself or to do things that I enjoy, like posting to the blog! At least we were able to fill the open position at work in my dept. so hopefully things won’t be quite as fever pitch as they’ve been – but the new person won’t be starting for another couple of weeks. So until then, things are probably going to keep up the frantic pace, after that, … Continue reading
