Days of Grace 7-29-10

1.  Dinner with Mo last night was wonderful.  And losing easy access to her wonderfulness is one of the few things I’ll regret about leaving this city.  Fortunately, we’re planning on being down here all the time so the Boy can stay connected with his kids, so while he’s hanging out with them, I’ll go [...]

1.  Freedom from work!  Wooohoooo!  Everyone at the temp branch was really nice – one of the ladies brought in a gift for Thor! – saying nice things about me, and promising to say them to the Princess, as well.  My meeting with HR went well, and it’s going to be easier for me to [...]

Days of Grace 7-27-10

1.  Um, where to begin?  Well, I’m the luckiest woman in the world and I am so well-aware of that fact. 2.  The Perfect House looks like it will, in fact, be our Perfect House.  We put in a low bid, they countered within a few hours, and we’re going to be discussing details today.  [...]

1.  Chickens are ok at the New Perfect House.  It’s, well, perfect.  As perfect as the previous-Perfect-House with the added bonus of being located in a good school district.  The boy got tears in his eyes when he told me how much he liked it.  I certainly liked it – (what’s not to like about [...]

Days of Grace 7-25-10

1.  While last night’s sleep wasn’t as refreshing as I’d hoped (much hotter last night than the night before) it still felt good and I feel ok this morning, though I think my hips would prefer I never ever lie prone again.  I seriously begin to understand the appeal of the Barcalounger… 2.  I still [...]

1.  Nice being up here where it’s at least 5* cooler than in NYC.  Every little bit counts.  I’ll take it. 2.  Found The.  Perfect.  House.  Unfortunately, it feeds into the worst & second to worst high school & middle school, respectively.  This is a problem.  Perhaps on many different levels. 3.  I ate an [...]

Days of Grace 7-23-10

1.  Heading up to NH again tonight after work to look at a whole new slew of houses.  I’m exhausted & dreading another weekend spent away from home (away from my BED!) but it’ll be fun, nevertheless.  And the phrase ‘striking while the metal is hot’ comes to mind, since I never expected the Boy [...]

Days of Grace 7-22-10

1. Fake cooked Sushi for dinner.  Because it’s cool and high in protein and contains nothing to make my stomach react.  Plus I get to eat it on the couch because it’s one of our favorite eat-in-front-of-the-tv takeout dinners.  And the couch is officially my favorite place in the world. 2.  Feeling much reassured by [...]

1.  My tour of Beth Israel’s Labor & Delivery (& NICU) is tonight and I’m excited.  Rather more so than the Boy, who is maintaining his blase attitude about all things childbearing.  Tell me honestly, city-blogger-buddies – did you/do you plan to call a cab when you’re in labor or spring for the hospital’s valet/parking [...]

Days of Grace – 7-20-10

1. I think I have something going on every day from here til the end of the month. This is good because I am getting rather ready to be done with being at work. 2. The a/c is fixed at work. Hating the weather this summer but learning a new love for a/c. 3.  Dinner [...]
