Hot
2007-08-17 02:53:00 Ohh man is it hot outside. Got up way stinking early because we went to sleep early last night. Too early to even find anything to watch on TV. Crazy! Eventually we went out for a bike ride yay! Today my husband went with me. That’s always fun :) What kind of bakery doesn’t sell bread though, ...
Today
2007-08-16 03:28:00 Very worn out. Two bike rides in one day is pushing it a little jsut yet I think hah! First bike ride we went around to a couple shops, mailed something off, got ice cream and came home. Very fun ride. Then a couple hours later went back out and rode up the street to the ...

2007-08-15 02:13:00 This is a kitty we’re gonna make! The pattern is free on this lady’s blog. Green Kitchen’s Kitty Pattern Cute ! Just need to gather up some energy to sort through some fabric. That alone could take days for color choices zzzzz. I think if I can make it come out cute, I’ll make a few more for Christmas ... More About: Super
Learn to paint?
2007-08-14 21:50:00 That’s something we want to do. Found a couple places nearby to bike to that we can check out classes. One is specifically geared to beginners and kids. That sounds good haha, have absolutely no painting skill as far as pictures go so that sounds great. Unfortunately the site doesn’t show shop hours, class schedule, ... More About: Learn , Paint
We did it!
2007-08-14 00:43:00 It takes 23 minutes round trip from the time we locked the door until we unlocked it again. When we got about halfway between here and the restraunt there was a little bit of panic, since a few dogs started to bark but all of them were leashed and kenneled. None were barking at us, ...
We did it!!
2007-08-13 20:14:00 Now this doesn’t really carry the same weight as if we did this a few hours from now but we did this just the same. Got the bike out of the garage (which is a task in itself, since he has something blocking the garage door so we gotta take it out the back!) and put ...
This week
2007-08-13 00:34:00 I have comments to reply to later tonight or tomorrow yay! Thank you :) We like comments a lot! This week has been a lot of fun. One night we had no Trazodone so that night was tough, hadn’t realized just how great it was at blocking the nightmares. I’m still a bit horrified from them ... More About: Week
Lately
2007-08-10 02:55:00 It’s been too hot to think, move, do crafts, sleep… it’s hot. The massive heat supposed to fade a bit soon. It’s too hot to bike ride safely. We’re working up the bravery to bike alone. It’s scary. Had planned to try this week but dude, it’s not worth getting heatstroke just to try being ...
Big day tomorrow
2007-08-04 01:19:00 It’s always difficult to leave the house for anything beyond groceries or the post office. I feel like an idiot when I’m too worked up with anxiety to go anywhere. We don’t drive a car anymore, too afraid to go biking alone even. How lame! Maybe if we get a bike helmet, we’ll feel better ... More About: Tomorrow , Morrow , Tomo
Brilliant Title Here
2007-08-02 04:32:00 The last couple days have been okay. Very physically exhausted because of all the rain but otherwise, not too bad. Still feeling a little off but today it’s a lot better. Did a little housework, knitted some, watched some tv, clicked stumbleupon a few times. It sounds boring but it’s about all I can manage ... More About: Movies , Title , Brilliant
Extra initial?
2007-07-29 21:28:00 I’ve always wondered why as a child I began to be called by my full name, without last name included, but with an extra initial tossed in. It wasn’t a term of endearment. I was the only one of all the cousins. The ones who added the extra initial, I am pretty sure the one didn’t ... More About: Internal , Memories , Extra , Xtra
Feeling odd
2007-07-29 00:31:00 Feel half here. Started yesterday, everything makes me irritated and I feel half here. It’s too hard to explain I guess. I don’t know. Feeling like stuck, don’t know what to do to keep busy. Can’t focus. Too many nightmares last night, possible storms tonight eeeek. It is sunny now though so we went outside and ... More About: Feel
Quilt progress
2007-07-27 03:14:00 Made a lot of progress on it today. All the bits for the top layer are together and ironed, cut out the batting and the backing. Pinned it all together. That turned out to be tough, getting it smooth and positioned right. Very exciting. More About: Progress , Quilt
A quilt - then and now
2007-07-26 09:22:00 Someone mentioned today (from within the village) that long ago, there were quilt pieces. Some say blue, some say they weren’t blue but they don’t know what color the bits were. One is absolutely certain the quilt was to be made for us. A few argue that it proves that the mom loved us, that ... More About: Internal , Memories , Quilt , Then
Old year books
2007-07-24 01:05:00 I feel a little bad that I just don’t know most of these people. I guess I wasn’t the one going to school. I recognize very few names, recognize a few faces, but mostly.. I have no clue. It’s not like the school we attended was big, not like ones other cousins had attended with ... More About: Books , Memories , Year
Ahhh
2007-07-23 21:32:00 Managed to sleep, not till after it was slightly daylight but still. Got 6 hours yay! So now, feeling a little rested and already ate something. Got a nice cool bottle of water ready to carry around and it’s time to keep busy! There’s some more organizing to do, but better yet.. there’s crafting. Organizing can ...
Sleep
2007-07-23 10:34:00 Sleep sucks. It’s very early in the morning and given how little sleep we got last night, should be passed out cold from exhaustion. Nope. Wide awake, so we’re doing crafts and reading and watching tv. Not all at once, just sort of going between it all. Once it gets closer to daylight, I can pretty ... More About: Books , Sleep

2007-07-23 02:14:00 Comments left, emails from a friend who already knows about the village, my husband’s support.. it all leads up to me, us.. feelign braver about being.. well.. us. It’s all who I am. That is tough to remember. Today I am okay, no idea if tomorrow I’ll be in a panic about trying to be brave ...
Harry Potter 7
2007-07-21 18:42:00 It’s here! Don’t worry, we won’t post spoilers. If your looking for your book, you might should check your mailbox. UPS handed books over to USPS here, and they were delivered by a different carrier I think. The package is cute, red and white with HP artwork and a note to muggles on it. I love it! Then ...

2007-07-20 22:21:00 I don’t know who set the yesterday post to private, before I re-public it (hah.. whatever you call it) I will ask around and see. Thank you for the comments, they assure me that the comments were NOT the reason for it going private. Quite honestly I don’t think anyone knows a good ... More About: Internal
Nervous, confused, what to do!?
2007-07-20 03:51:00 It’s a big step, but it probably doesn’t seem like one to anyone else. For us it is though. For years we have kept silent, struggled to present ourselves as one. Both in public and online. We feel as if we allow those who tormented us to win by continuing to keep it so secret, yet ... More About: To Do
The second half of today
2007-07-19 05:28:00 Well I un-chickened, made an intro post on get Stitchy! The FO sections are great, it’s fun seeing what others have done. I really dislike making intro posts. Feels like I’m standing on a stage alone and people staring at me and probably laughing hysterically about a booger in my nose or something. Today I didn’t ... More About: Econ , Half
Today?s stuff
2007-07-18 21:24:00 I feel a little better now, laid down for a bit in a semi-dark room. Still sneezing my nose off though. Managed to get some lunch down (and it stayed put!) Then went out, cut two pottings of peppermint. Quite a bit available today! I have a metal strainer bowl and it was overflowing. Sat out ... More About: Today , Stuff
Ugh.
2007-07-18 19:38:00 I feel like crap. Stupid cold, stupid runny nose, stupid sneezes. Going back to bed. It makes my head hurt worse to hear my keyboard clicking.
Too exhausted!
2007-07-17 00:17:00 Today is break day. Organizing what is now three rooms is turning into a bigger project than I thought it’d be. I knew it’d be major but come on, this is ridiculous! I’m tired! So today my husband tried to convince me that if I feel the need to organiz anything. Pick one thing. Not ... More About: Haus , Exhaust
What to title it?
2007-07-13 20:28:00 Today I feel so sad. Early this morning (late last night, since hadn’t gone to bed), lost more time. Husband met someone else, but we found her. She lives just beyond the fog. The fog is less thick, we can see her building. They are talking with her today to see what we can all ... More About: Title

2007-07-11 00:31:00 For a week.. maybe two? It’s been very difficult to get through a day. Kept busy with major, major house projects. (Er.. the external house, not the internal village houses!) Moving furniture, painting (which I do not want to do for at least three more months thanks), organizing. It’s been quiet internally, not total silence ... More About: World , Happy , Internal
