I’m leaving for a few days, and will have questionable internet access.
Am I going on a romatic vacation with Kev?  I WISH!  Kev will be left behind, all alone.  Maybe I can convince HIM to blog.
Probably not.
Anyway, I’m going with two other girls from the lab to check out…our future home.  Yes…we’re moving.  It’s official […]

Tonight Kev and I dined at Moe’s.  Yes, it’s only glamourous nights out for us.  First we looked at wedding bands, but that’s another blog.
Anyway, we ate at Moe’s, and before we left, I had to make a quick pit stop.  The ladies room only had two stalls - regular and handicap.  The regular was […]

Two things are now marked “still needs: 0″ on one of my registries!
First time! Yeeeee!!!!
*dances around in self-absorbed bridal bliss*
OK, I’m done here.

I just spent WAY too much time picking out bedding for the registry. Two full evenings. Stuff like this shouldn’t be so difficult! And, of course, there were negotiations with Kev.
“no pink”
“just a leeetle bit of pink? pleeease? The brown is just…very brown. it will be too neutral!”
“ermmmmmmmm…”
“pretty […]

One of the best reasons to make leg of lamb for dinner, is that a few days later, you can have LEFTOVER leg of lamb.  mmmm…
and my favorite way to have leftover lamb is to make lamb spinach pita wraps.
take some pocketless pita bread and warm it in the microwave or oven
place on plate, and […]

I may be in the scooter/moped market in the near future.  For reasons that are an entire blog posts worth on their own, and I’m not going there quite yet.  Anyway…
anyone have one?  do ya like it?

Is it wrong to use those expensive “e2″ lithium batteries in an electric toothbrush?  My mom puts these batteries […]

at the aforementioned BBQ place which we enjoyed on Sunday, we decided to take advantage of the nice day and eat out on the patio. There was a large group of people also enjoying the nice day and BBQ together out there with us.
*noises of lip smacking and mmmmm-ing and chewing*
*buzzz*
Kev: damn fly *waves […]

I’m still here, hanging on. Thank you for all the hugs and comments.
My prescription for grieving has always been KEEP BUSY. So I kept busy this weekend.
Buying shoes at target:

Eating.
Going to church and work.
Uhhh…eating. Sunday Kev and I went to a new BBQ place. Mmmmm…tasty BBQ. Kev’s chicken was […]

It’s been 7 years today. I still can’t believe you’re gone. I think about you every day, little brother.
What would you have been doing today? Would you and Courtney still be together? Would you have gotten your art degree? Would you be putting out your own comics books? You […]

ESC: where are we going for dinner tonight?
Kev: I thought you were making bison burgers.
ESC: nah. I’m wearing a good bra. I hate to waste it on a night in.
later
ESC: where are those dinner coupons? weren’t they in your car?
Kev: I think they’re still out there. you can get them.
ESC: *sad […]

everyone is talking about boobs today. OK, not everyone. But it’s a little disconcerting to start composing a blog entry about boobs and bra fittings, and then go out and read blogland and find out that two people have already touched on the very subjects I was going to talk about.
Which doesn’t mean […]

Time to start thinking about KEVIN! And while he may have an opinion, it’s really up to ME, right?

here’s something I threw together online. This would be Kev, the other men would be in a burgandy colored vest/tie. What do you think?

the dress has been ordered. there is no turning back.
no returns.
no refunds.
ack!

I watch a lot of home improvement shows. One day, I will be able to build my own environmentally friendly and energy efficient home out of recycled styrofoam cups and mashed old newspaper pulp. And then tastefully decorate it using homemade art and mosaic tiles. It will be glorious.
But
I always giggle when […]

It was a fun trip.  Relaxing and countrified.  It’s nice to spend some time in the middle of nowhere.  Makes you appreciate the little things in life.  Like cell phone reception.
Saturday we waited until Kev’s nieces got back from their 18 hour bus trip from New York City (school club trip) to then drag them […]

So we’re packing up the car and the dog and heading on out to sweet home alabamy to visit my future in-laws for Easter.
I’ll have very limited internet access (dial up on an old computer), so don’t panic if I’m not “around” or “leaving comments” or “posting stuff.”  I will be enjoying the country life.  […]

I do NOT want to turn this into a gushy wedding blog - that’s what my OTHER place is for - the actual wedding blog.
But because Vince and Derek wanted details…
Sorry Derek, no wedding cheesecake. That would have been awesome, though. Our cake will STILL be awesome.

This is what our cake will look […]

Someone from school found my blog.
Yippee.
try not to ruin it for the rest of us, OK?
speaking of people reading my blog, I have been checking my stats lately. And HOLY CRAP, 63% of the people reading my blog are using Linux, and a browser called Konqueror. Wow. Either many geeks read my blog. […]

The mole thing on my leg was bigger and deeper (unintended porn image!) than the one on my arm.
Which do you think hurts worse today?
dammit.

Can she clean?  She can clean out my kitchen, if she wants 
Yesterday, I got a call to my cell phone I didn’t answer, because I didn’t recognize the number or even […]

This is a picture of my bedroom in a state it has not seen since before Kev moved in. Look how clean and organized it is.
*sniff* beautiful.
However, the bed placement is the same. The bed is a four poster canopy bed, sans canopy. And therein lies the problem. We can’t […]

Dear Neighbor,
As you read this note, please keep in mind that the walls are thins. Night after night, we are forced to participate in your lovemaking through the walls. Unfortunately, we are often woken-up out of our sleep. I know that you may not be aware of this matter, but we can […]

Christ Among the Partisans - New York Times
awesome piece. go read it, will you?

Today Kev and I went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden to pose for some engagement pictures. We finally got to meet the guy who’s doing our wedding pics (after emailing back and forth for two months), and he’s super nice. Just getting into the business, so his prices are looowww…but what business he […]

Attention mother who sat next to us with her friend at the restaurant tonight.
Just because the outdoor eating area is surrounded by a fence, does NOT make it a giant playpen for your children. The running around like little savages thing was NOT amusing.  And your pathetic attempts at disciplining them were laughable.
in bored voice, […]

I HAD a ranty evil post all in my head for tonight.  Oooo…it’s a good one.  One that might get me Dooced.  But OHHH, i wanted to VENT earlier!
But now I’m home and comfortable.  And it’s a friday night.  Not a ranty time.  I’ll save the Dooceable rant for another time.
Right now I’ll tell you […]

So I’ve bitched on here before about messing with radioactivity. I hate it. It’s stressful and time consuming. And until recently, my results were never worth it.
For a long time, I would just throw on an old button down long sleeved shirt of mine, snap on the radiation badge, put on the […]

It seems my handy dandy stat tracker logs every page refresh, ping, rss read…uhh…sniff and nudge that meanders by my site. Which is SORT of nice, because it really looks like my site is SUPER POPULAR…until you read the “unique page hits” and realize no…not so much. I have NOT, in fact, gotten almost 10,000 […]

I’d like to give Se7en a huge shout out, as well as big sloppy kisses, because he redesigned my butt-ugly popup comments into something readable and pretty. And powered by EVIL SCIENCE!
So awesomely awesome.
Anyway, everyone KNOWS Se7en for his gorgeous personalized blogger templates, but did you know he also does Wordpress templates, too? […]

I headed down to the little-but-increasingly-growing snack stand/sub shop in the building next door this morning for some over-priced coffee.  I could have gotten a 50 cent one from the machine, but this morning called for a big cup of their darkest roast.
They have big insulated pots of it - dark roast, lite roast, vanilla, […]

not really.
Hot Italian girl from adjacent lab comes up to me.
HIG: I steel hav your kiss.
ESC:…what?
HIG: Your kiss!
ESC: *blank look*
HIG: kiss from the…the…phosphoeeeemager?  I steel need them for tomorrow.
ESC: ohhhhh!  keys!  no problem.  I’ll need them saturday
HIG: OK, sure!
That’s as hot at the action gets around here.

Buh bye, blogpatrol. You are crappy and break down too much. I know, I know…you have a lot to do. And you are a free service, so how can we complain when you die. For weeks at a time.
But now, I can track stats WITHOUT YOU! Using an easy plugin. […]

Sorry.
I DID go shopping - CLOTHES shopping! - for something nice to wear for Easter and to wear for our engagement pictures, which hopefully will be happening soon (assuming I didn’t scare away my photographer in that last email asking if he’d be able to include Sadie in some of the shots.  what? SHUT UP!  […]

Nothing too exciting.
Actually, yesterday was fun, as it was an eat out extravaganza for me. Went out to lunch with my lab to a place called “saigon cafe.” Yummy pho, and BUBBLE TEA!!!!
Then Kev took me out for kabobs for dinner. mmmm…kabobs…
Then I treated him to ice cream - the place formerly […]
