Yes, Bob and I are big Christmas people. BIG Christmas people.
Gift Cards Are Now an Even Worse Idea
Yesterday NPR broadcast that, with businesses folding right and left, gift cards are not the the way to go this year. By the time your recipient gets around to using that card, the business might no longer be accepting gift cards (yes, they can do that) or could be...
Oregon, man, Oregon
Here are some honeymoon photos taken with my little camera. This was my favorite rest area ever!Cool plant in the rocks on the shore.View from the road, between Waldport and Corvallis, Oregon (which is pronounced OR-uh-gun)Bob standing just outside of our honeymoon...
Hurricane Gustav
I think it's very creepy that the Gulf Coast is getting ready for another big hurricane, just as it was three years ago. Actually, I hope it's not preparing in the same way as three years ago and I have faith that it's not. Is anyone else with me on this or am I being...
There Are Only Two Choices
1. I like Joe Biden. I think the Obama campaign made an excellent choice. Joe has several things Obama doesn't have, one of which is a sense of humor that plays well to large crowds! He's funny. I haven't noticed Barack Obama being funny, but I think that's because he...
Whiny
I just re-read what I posted yesterday and it sounds whiny and defensive. Now I'd like to apologize for that. It's entirely reasonable for a readership to expect regular postings from a blogger who has previously always posted regularly. I didn't mean to come off as...
I Might Like My Job
Has it been 12 days since I last blogged? That's terrible.I don't know why working 37.5 hours a week as a waitress left me so much more time to blog than working 37.5 hours a week as an office worker, but I guess it did. Or maybe my level of unhappiness kept me...
Thank you, N/A!
A second anonymous person has sent us a wedding gift and it's the bedsheets we've been needing. Thank you, Whoever you are!
Thanks, N/A!
Someone sent Bob and me an anonymous wedding gift through our online registry: the twelve-inch everyday pan. Since you didn't leave your name, I can only hope you read my blog (and I'm guessing it was someone who reads my blog since I posted the info about our online...
“Spring,” Part II
Another Chicago spring day: 49 degrees at 7:30 a.m, gray and drizzling. Temperatures today are expected to top out at about 56 F and it should rain all day. Hah! Happy Mother's Day! Maybe a sundress and hat? Addition: At 10:30 a.m. it's 47 degrees, raining quite well...
Big Wedding Favor
Just ripped a pair of bedsheets recently and the situation is a bit dire. Donations?MyRegistry.comName: Regina RodriguezPassword: bobreg.How's that for a shameless plug for wedding gifts, Obesio? Or just have fun looking at our wedding gift registry.
“Spring”
Today on the far northside of Chicago, it was completely overcast and right around 60 degrees. At 6:30 pm, it's 57 degrees and cooling fast. Shall we slip into mini-dresses and sandals and go clubbing without sweaters? (Refers to my post criticizing the way Chicagoans...
Taking My Married Name
Intersection: 1. A month ago I got married, anticipating my new identity as "Regina Rodriguez-Martin." 2. This week I began a new temporary FULL-TIME job (yay!!) and am reminded that until I have a new social security card and driver's license, I am legally still...
Tough times
I guess it's just really tough times for people right now because the morning of March 25th we sent out 75 mailed announcements to let friends and family know that we just got married and we've heard from a surprisingly low number of people. We did get a couple of...
