So I’ve been having fun visiting with my little sister - we ran around, saw two movies (Mirrormask and Wallace and Gromit), went shoe shopping, and I think I found some possible wedding shoes. Now I don’t have to worry about not having shoes when I get married in around seven months. I am [...]

I came down with an icky cold last week, and I thought it was all better but I started feeling sick again yesterday. Does anyone remember the Anastasia Krupnik book where’s she’s obsessed with the possibility that she’s caught leprosy? She keeps checking out a medical book from the public library that lists all the [...]

I suppose any Monday when you don’t have to go into work must be a Good Monday. On the last day of the long weekend I went downtown to the Windsor Button because they were having a 20% off yarn sale. It takes a 20% off sale for me to not look at a skein [...]

I’m back from my mini-vacation. I saw 3 movies, read 4 books and several volumes of manga, ate at my favorite mexican restaurant, bought a bunch of random turquoise clothing on sale while I was waiting to get my bag back, got my bag back, and sent out around 2/3rds of my save the date [...]

I had a very weird airplane experience yesterday. The morning before my trip, someone called me and told me that I was being bumped to a 4:00 flight. Then when I arrived at Logan airport, I was put on my original 2:00 flight, I had to run to reach the gate. I was the last [...]

Server went down due to the power outage in L.A. I still can’t get into my e-mail.
One of my projects at work that has been hanging over my head finally launched today, I am so relieved. I knew I was stressed, but I didn’t realize how stressed I was until it was unveiled. I’m sure [...]

I got the save the dates for my wedding in the mail today! Somehow even though we’ve reserved a park and are investigating caterers, the whole thing seems much more real now that I have actual stationery related to the wedding. I’m sort of bummed out that the muppet stamps aren’t out yet. But perhaps [...]

So I’m back home in Champaign. My best friend from high school is getting married today, and my Mom is going to host some sort of after party tonight where between 30-60 people may or may not show up. I’m worried that Mom will want to keep the future Mr. Tangognat, as so far he [...]

Now I am in Ohio, or as Mr. Tangognat calls it, “God’s Country”. I’m wondering why “God’s Country” has so many potholes.

The future Mr. Tangognat and I are about to embark on a cross country road trip where we will drive to ALA, and along the way I will meet his parents and he will meet mine. One benefit of driving to Illinois - I was able to pack 6 pairs of shoes, maybe 7. I [...]
