Gosh, it’s Monday already?
She’s not cramming… Roxi was not kidding when she said she had a lot to do this weekend. Despite all of her diligent review work last week, she had many, many hours of studying (about 12) and writing (about 6) this weekend. Good thing she had a relaxing outing on Friday with her friends. Today [...]
Random stuff, Roxi, and more random stuff
Frost earlier this morning, taken with “the 50″. Random stuff Boy, yesterday sure got away from me. I was going to go into town to see the Rothko exhibit at the Tate Modern with my new friend Kathy. However, a sore throat the night before made me change my mind. I am fine now. Emm [...]
Talk a little, eat a little
I went to lunch at a friend’s house today. There were just three of us chatting, eating a delicious made from scratch lunch, enjoying each other’s company, and listening to beautiful Christmas carols playing in the background. It was a lovely time. Tomorrow I will have my dear friend S and her daughter Y over [...]
Monday Ramblings
Roxi was HILARIOUS as Eulalie McKicknie Shinn in her middle school’s production of “The Music Man“! She used a character voice throughout the show, which prompted a few people (mostly adults) to ask her afterwards to speak normally. And of course, what fun Mr. DJ and I had sitting anonymously in the audience and hearing [...]
A show of hands–how many of you will order pizza this weekend after overindulging on Thanksgiving fare?
I have been meaning to do a “local pizza delivery menu” post since I saw my first flier last year. Anyone who says the food here in the UK is boring or bland obviously hasn’t been here recently. The food is varied and delicious, and most of all, very fresh. I’m not going to promise that every [...]
Don’t you hate it when you talk about so many random things in your post that you can’t think of a good title?
I am on a new computer today. This weekend (while I was sick), I did a massive backup of my laptop to my external drive… and then I put my poor laptop out to pasture. So for now, I will be using the desktop Mr. DJ bought last month when our music studio computer died. [...]
This beautiful weather can’t last, I just know it can’t
Over our back fence. England. This pampas grass is so pretty this time of year, especially when the light hits the feathery tips just right. When I was in elementary school, my mother took me to an allergy doctor to find out all the things I was allergic to. It turned out that in addition [...]
A little homesick
The birds like to rest on telephone wires back home in Texas. January 2008. I’ve got a little of the homesick blues today. I’m sure I’ll get over it soon enough, but last night I realized that this is the longest I’ve been away from home–almost nine months. Anyway, this should help: some friends and [...]
Wherever you go I will follow… at least if you have a blog
Blogger has added a feature called “Following”. Have you seen it? It popped up a couple of weeks ago, but I had not paid too much attention to it. However, Sarah mentioned it yesterday in her comment. After giving it some thought, I think maybe it’s a good thing. My reasons for starting Just a Plane Ride [...]
More Hurricane Ike Aftermath
Sorry, but it seems like I’ve only been able to think about Hurricane Ike damage these days. I finally heard that my in-law’s house on Galveston Island had 4+ feet of water in it. That would be at least as high as the kitchen counters. The garage door is in the driveway and the iron [...]
