We woke up at 7:58 on our own. Fully rested. A sign of a good morning. And then I checked my morning reading list, and found that Chris Frenchy has posted the story his proposal to his lady love Brandy, completed with video. I’m smiling ear to ear now. Yep. It’s going to be a good day. *UPDATE* Soon after I posted that, I wasn’t having too good of a morning. It’s going better now though…...

Here’s me meeting Owen for the very first time! Also, I uploaded the photos from this year’s first Ren Faire. (You’ll have to go down half a set to see this year’s photos.) Yes, I said first. Because the Boren and the Grat-Clark clans will go again this Sunday!...

I’m here. I’m here. It’s been a busy week. And it’s only going to get busier. But I want to drop by. I will have pictures from Renaissance Pleasure Fair posted soon.

1. My review and my raise. I didn’t think I had the gut to chase after a raise originally. And I did. And here we are. 2.

At the end of the month, he’s moving to Aspen, Colorado, to work at a firm he’s worked at over the summer. 3. I reconnect with my former best friend Jen. On Saturday, while waiting for Brandon and his...

1 a.m. and I’m not in bed. Wow. I’m all wired. Partly from 2/3 of a massive blue cheese and bacon burger and fries at Hennessey’s. Too full. Partly from a pint and a half of Bass (Brandon didn’t finish his). Too full-er…and a little buzzed. And why the celebration? I had my performance review. It was stella. And I got a raise. Yey....

I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with my ophthalmologist next month to follow up on my dry eyes. God, I can hardly WAIT to get back into contact lenses (although I do LOVE my kick ass geeky New Balance transition lenses glasses)! I was going to take the afternoon of June 1 off to take Brandon in for the vasectomy appointment anyway, so I changed my appointment to earlier in the afternoon so I can just take one day off. When I told Nhien about the appointment, this is the conversation that followed: Nhien: So you’re going to...
