Type O Negative – “Stay Out Of My Dreams” Today I had to get up early after staying up late. My walk to school left me with blisters on the bottoms of my feet from my new shoes. I spent over eight hours in front of a computer screen only to walk home and sit [...]

Otyg – “Galdersbesjungen” Still sore, but not still sick. Fabulous. :cheer: Daniel got me this Otyg CD and I like it a lot; it sounds like Storm (folk-y Norwegian metal) and the singer (Vintersorg) is a guy that used to be in Borknagar, so goodness all around. Geh. I have been very sucky at doing [...]

The Beatles – “Oh! Darling” We made lots of cookies last night. Lots of them. Here is Callie, cutting out cookies. Paul and Daniel are giggling at something. Daniel falls over. The cookies come out of the oven, just the right shade of golden brown. Callie and Paul decorate cookies together. I was apparently concentrating [...]

nothing WOOOOOOOO!!! The box: Stuffing the foam bag into the outer liner (this was an absolute nightmare – I thought I was going to have an aneurysm by the time it was over): Finally getting it zipped up: Now it just has to expand. I’m so excited!

nothing. I’m listening intently for the UPS truck. Highlights of the trip: Seeing Kalena for the first time in years. Hanging out with Kelsie, who is the same age as my brother but you’d never know it. Using my Aunt Missy’s hair straight-iron – MUST HAVE ONE NOW. Crashing on the motorcycle. The fact that [...]

Mindbenders – “Groovy Kind Of Love” Today is Daniel’s last day at work. Yesterday his manager said that he will be well-missed by everybody, and I’m sure it’s true. They all love him there. It’s time for a change though, that’s for sure. He starts at the coffee place on Sunday at 7am. He got [...]

Tristania – “Evenfall” I did it. And I totally love it. :hearts:

Marilyn Manson – “The Love Song” Is this not the most hilarious yet cute passport picture ever? This is Daniel, circa the 5th grade, about age 11. For comparison, this was taken last year-ish: I love the passport picture just because his hair is so insane – yet another case of out of control hair, [...]

Enya – “Only Time” I’m feeling much better today than I was yesterday. I’m still not well, but I don’t feel nearly as crap. My cough is more pronounced, but my eyes and nose have slowed down a lot so that makes me happier. Thanks for your well-wishes. Happy 21st birthday to two friends of [...]

The Doors – “Break On Through” Tonight we had Callie and Paul over for a pumpkin carving party. You can see all our pictures over on this set on Flickr, but here are some other highlights: The ambivalent ghost tray I found at Fred Meyer. I think I love him. The immediate aftermath of the [...]

Fear Factory – “Supernova” Today is my dad’s birthday. He turns 44. I have young parents, I know. I tried calling him on my mom’s cell phone and they were at a high school football game, so it was incredibly loud. We were winning 14-0 though, so that’s cool. Best thing ever: Getting a letter [...]

Queens of the Stone Age – “First It Giveth” I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with IKEA. I visit their website on a near-daily basis and dream about all the glorious things I could buy if they would only make more of their products available online. I lament the fact that the [...]

The Propellerheads – “Take California” I get my refund from the school today! I will have dollars! I really don’t have anything else to talk about, so I will leave you with more photos from the trip. Seen on the way to Coeur d’Alene. On a pickup. Paul, apparently trying to fly or something. Meagan [...]

nothing The weekend was surprisingly light-hearted. Thursday: We got into Coeur d’Alene (pronounced “core-duh-lane”) at about 10pm Thursday night and stayed the night there along with Heidi and Aunt Dawn. Friday: In the morning, Aunt Kair-Kair came over and we hung out for a while and then left for Sandpoint, because Daniel’s dad (Dave) and [...]

The Bloodhound Gang – “Fire Water Burn” Paul at Target.
