... because why else would I be trying to do this when I average about a thousand words a month when it comes to writing?

So I've been ill this past week or so. I'd actually caught a minor cold right before Phoenix, but shook it off in time for the trip. I then proceeded to be rather travel-weary for the next few days, only to be tossed into a car for twenty-four hours with Dad and E, burning rubber to Tampa to check in on Joanie and Ed (who'd been hospitalized last ( Read more... )

I bowl Mondays. It's a fun league- nine pin, no tap, which means if you hit nine pins on your first throw, it's a strike. $10 a week for ten weeks, and you get to play round-robin with a bunch of friendly strangers. Before two weeks ago, I'd bowled maybe three times in my adult life. So yeah, my average is not something to brag about. It hasn' ( Read more... )

So talking cell phones with Dad right now. Apparently Margret broke hers and had to have to replaced? That's a new phone, you ditz, how did you break it already ( Read more... )

Monday was bad enough- I couldn't hold down water until after noon and I'd been up since half 6. Tuesday saw me nibbling on saltines while drinking water like a fish.

Then Head Trip referenced it, and I went looking. (I now know who the Edward Cullen is I keep randomly seeing in icons.) And this is goldSeriously, I wrote ( Read more... )

So my birthday was yesterday. A big thank you to all the well-wishers, even Lee, who keeps different time than everybody else. It's was still night, so it counted, right? Spent the entire day answering the phone to different family members saying happy birthday. Well, except for E, who just took over my chair while I dressed and wished me happy ( Read more... )

Dad's humming Toreador. I am amused. He's got to have picked it up from me, because I've been doing it for years, and he's not much of a hummer ( Read more... )

Interesting times this holiday season. I visited Carmen after Christmas (dropping Laura off along the way, since FSU band doesn't get the same days off everyone else does, apparently). Accidentally left my trunk open after I grabbed my bag out of it (even though I double-checked because I'm paranoid like that, so really, no idea how it was left ( Read more... )
