I have not been reading LJ lately. Not that there is much being posted, and I'm as guilty as all. I also got logged out somehow so I did try to comment, only to see the dreaded "this user has disabled annonomous commenters'. so fuck it ( Read more... )

Last weekend my crocuses were blooming and there were bees buzzing in them ( I think it was last weekend) and this weekend it's back to the 30's. Though by mid week, we may be up to 70 again... Yes, winter is drunk. I used to post a lot more about the change in the weather, but again, the weather is so freaking weird these days that weird is ( Read more... )

Another icon, who seemed like he'd be around forever. 

My ablity to sit and read anything but short quips seems to be disintergrating. At least on the computer.

The weather.. is.. well, I guess the spring we never had. Its' beautiful out. But at 60 degrees at almost mid December, it's totally wrong. And not just one day of it, not one weird one off.. but a week of abnormal weather, or two weeks. There ( Read more... )

My biopsy came back negative. Yay!! I should be way more thrilled than I feel... maybe because I'm still having issues that make me think they missed something. But I guess short of having a full body scan of some sort, I'm going to have to chaulk up the issues I have to the divaticulousis... Which I asked about, given my grandmother's years of ( Read more... )

Well, health issues are on hold. Asside from my arms feeling like they will fall off every morning around 4 am. This is a direct result of raking and digging. I dont know what the medical reason is exactly for my fingers to go numb and my arms to ache, but sitting up helps, so this morning I tried to sleep sitting up on the couch. That didn't work ( Read more... )

The Lady is done. She's not an exact copy.. she looks like her mother... or an older version of herself... slightly more full in the face. I would have liked to have fixed it, but you get to the point where you'd rahter have a good looking painting than a perfect one.. not that I'd ever get it perfect, but it's that point of 'dont fuck with it!'.

ug... a half a million chanels and I have no clue how to find anything. Somewhere there is Netflix, but since the kid took the Wii out, I have no idea how to access it. I could try to find a DVD, maybe that's what I'll do. I think I still know how to do that.

A ha! The Big Chill. That will do. (15th anniversary edition.... cripes..  how old is this ( Read more... )

It finally rained today, but not the heavy 3 inches we were supposed to get. Like most of the storms that have gone through this summer, it's been far less than expected. Though still, a day of rain is a day of rain and when it's this dry, I'll take it. Just enough to spur the weeds on.

I've done 3 paintings this summer, and I am really happy with ( Read more... )

That's right, Global Warming is over. This summer of below normal temps proves it. Oh I wish. But I am enjoying this moderate and wonderfully dry summer, thought the trees and the grass are not.

It's been so wonderful leaving the windows open all day, but for the time we go to work and have to shut them against the possibility of drug addicts ( Read more... )
