Ballooning again

Posted: 30th April 2011 by T.F.P. in Life

Ugh, I jumped on the scale bright and early this morning, and did not like what I saw. My weight usually fluctuates within a 10-pound range, and today it was at the very upper limit of that range. I knew this was going to happen, because I have not been watching my diet in the [...]

Done deed

Well, apparently William and Kate’s wedding went off without a hitch. As expected, enormous crowds lined the street to watch the happy couple go rolling by in a horse-drawn carriage after the event. I read that at least a million people gathered along the route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey and Clarence House, while [...]

Royal Wedding

As you no doubt know, the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton will take place tomorrow. It promises to be a major media spectacle (it has been since January, when the engagement was made official) not only in the UK, but pretty much everywhere else in the world as well. I’m the scene [...]

Wow, I am LOVING the Overdrive Media App for iPad! This app allows me to “borrow” ebooks and audiobooks from my local library and read/listen to them on my iPad!! I can’t believe it took this long for the app to become available (yeah, I know… legal issues and all that). This was the #1 [...]

Happy Easter!

We don’t really celebrate Easter as a family (certainly not as a religious holiday), but it was still nice to be able to have a 3-day weekend and catch my breath somewhat after being super busy at work for almost the whole month. Now I’m fully relaxed, the house is clean, dinner plans are taken [...]

Hawks back in!

Posted: 22nd April 2011 by T.F.P. in Sports

After losing the first three games of the series and being in serious danger of getting swept out of the first round, the Blackhawks have come storming back to make things a bit more interesting. Facing elimination twice, the Hawks responded by outscoring the Canucks 12-2 and chasing goalie Roberto Luongo out of each game. [...]

New salon

Posted: 19th April 2011 by T.F.P. in General

A friend of mine has decided to open up a new nail salon, so I’ve been spending the last couple days helping her get the storefront organized. We’ve done a lot of cleaning and painting, and have been there while some guys came in to install chairs and stuff. We’ve also printed off brochures and [...]
