Now I am Graves Gerard. Though, the "other" wizards at the rental car place still think I'm Lacy Guarder. Which is not right... 2799@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-08-14T15:50:45-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002793.html Husband is here. He likes the new place and said I did good. Yay for me. We got cable and internet today. I look forward to being able to serve clients properly again (still doing freelance for the moment). I... 2793@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-08-10T11:39:47-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002789.html Sigh. I am back from spending a weekend Michigan with my beloved and his family. It was, fortunately, NOT hot there (relatively) so I could live without being air conditioned for a weekend without suffocating. It was my first trip... 2789@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-08-07T14:41:40-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002786.html I am tired. I haven't slept well in a few days. But yesterday we came one step closer to being Texas residents: our stuff came on a big Graebel truck and some dudes unloaded it in the 100 degree heat.... 2786@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-08-03T16:52:33-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002781.html This morning I had another disturbing dream except this time I think it was more meaningful. It was night and I was in Haifa, Israel looking out over the Port of Haifa and over to Akka. I saw a rocket... 2781@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-08-01T10:38:23-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002779.html I miss my husband. I don't know how Shokufeh and Sam manage. I have a picture in my cube of Myk and I dancing at our wedding. I nearly have to turn it over so that I don't cry when... 2779@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-31T11:10:43-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002775.html PART I: Unsolicited Opinions I've been learning a lot this week. Not just about my new job or about the area, but about people's perceptions of the area. Myk and I have rented a lovely townhome in a gated townhome... 2775@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-27T15:28:13-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002770.html I have a new cube. It is one of many cubes on the some-teenth floor. And when I sit in my cube, I hear/feel a noise. Tell me if you get deja-vu: It is nighttime on a windy, stormy coastline... 2770@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-24T21:04:50-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002769.html Well, here I am: Houston, TX. Our new home. Last night we invited a few friends over and that turned into a few more friends and then we played homemade Scattegories and things got hilarious. It was my idea of... 2769@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-23T21:11:34-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002763.html I can't believe it's been over a week since I last blogged. Much has happened, I guess, but mostly of the detail-variety. Since Myk and I don't really have to move any of our stuff ourselves, it's freed us up... 2763@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-20T23:35:02-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002746.html And I'm knitting things that will keep me WARM in overly-air conditioned spaces. THAT is funny. And I even sold my car this week because I'm anticipating purchasing a car with a/c that will freeze the toenails off a polar... 2746@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-13T11:41:20-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002745.html Other stuff goes first: what is this about Justin Timberlake having a new CD? He's my not-so-guilty pleasure. Second half of other stuff: to the love of my life Myk: happy birthday, sweetie. I love you! Third half (?) of... 2745@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-12T14:32:44-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002735.html PLEATHER. I'll let you run with that for a second. See you at Myk's twenty-tenth bday party! If you feel left out, it's probably because either 1. you're really far away or 2. I have left you out by accident.... 2735@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-06T17:27:14-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002728.html We're back from our whirlwind trip to Houston, the trip that hopefully yeilded to us a place to live. Fortunately, we did find that place, so we are pleased. But, I have to tell you that we found some rules... 2728@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-07-03T11:33:01-06:00 http://lay-c.com/log/archives2/002723.html No, really. I'm not going to spoil it for you. All I have to say is that if you can, you must see Superman Returns at the 3-D IMAX. My mouth was literally hanging open a couple of times. That... 2723@http://lay-c.com/log/ 2006-06-28T17:28:34-06:00
