Good day today! Though I did get soaked running from Macs to my truck :/ uncool. Dad got his legacy from my Auntie Lil's estate and I finally got a new phone and number for looking for a job. Wahoo. We're going Saturday to pick up our new Buff Ducks and I got to pet April reeeeaalllyyy long...
In the end Kitty found a new home with a lovely family in Bancroft. Truth is, mum has been looking to get rid of Kitty for a while as she isn't on the breeding roster and we've been having troubles keeping her a) in the house and b) entertained since she cannot be put out with the other girls...
Last year we planted two wal-mart buy strawberries in our front garden thinking they'd produce okay that year and not last through the winter. They lasted, and I didn't cover them at all. They're huge and sprouting off strawberry babies and have been producing non-stop this year. Pretty easy to...
When I was a kid my mum read to me all the time but in the end of it all I listened and learnt how to read by myself. I taught my younger brother to read and that happens to be something he hates doing. He feels forced to read and doesn't often read novels at all despite being a very bright kid...
I don't resell ever :/ Only on occasion do I notice a book or two missing from the enormous collection currently hanging out in my travel trunk. I've filled my bedside table (which happens to be a bookshelf) with books and theres still probably about 150 books downstairs. I use my horse...
I am NOT a morning person at all and I have a tutorial at 8am starting in September :/ I live just over an hour away from the campus when I'm in the city so I have to be up around 6am. Eek.
I suppose thats how my parents must feel. I have books in storage around here and for a few years a few books go missing every year.
I will never surrender! One book goes missing, I buy another!
henrietta, my uncle was in a fencing club when he was in university (for one of his degrees, not sure which). I suppose nerdyness runs in my family, my uncle Stephen (who i am named after) has several degrees and works for JPL in California as an infrared astronmer/navigator and teaches at a...
:/ my dad is a network specialist. i didn't really inherit is computer genius but my brother did.
i have an awesome photo of my dad working on one of the original computers.
i'm really more of a booknerd, but for about 3 years of my life i was obsessed with photoshop and creating websites. i...
:/ I had contemplated it but I think there is something vastly sick about not being able to hold and touch and feel the pages. I love having books around me at all times. I like being able to write in the margins and post-it note them.
I bet your wife will just love her Nook though.
I haven't been back to the UK since 2005. Even when both my Great Aunts died within a year of each other (Lil just this past winter) we were not able to get away as my Dad is not able to take time off work. He is on-call 24/7-365 (yes, even Christmas).
I'd also like to suggest Youth in Revolt...
Mum's been talking about finding Kitty a new home for a few months now, mostly because she can't go out with the other girls because she fights with them. I suppose this was the last straw and Kitty may have a new family tomorrow. The issue is that we can't put her out with the girls and we...
:)
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters is amazing
I absolutely cannot get enough of that book and I tell everyone they need to read it. Fantastic and satisfying read.
Atonement by Ian McEwan
Another one of my favourites. I've read this book so many times my copy is very worn out. Lovely...
we shear our poodles with clippers but it can be scary! i've knicked them a few times and they just scream like stuck pigs. makes me feel awful lol.
sounds like it all went very well though!
Kitty is our 4lb Toy Poodle. She lives in the house with us because she doesn't get along with the other girls and thus doesn't get to go out in the run during the day. Normally she hangs out in the front yard, and could careless about the chickens or ducks. I put our new ducklings out last...
