So, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure 3-Day began this morning here in Washington. I'm a bit sad, feel like I should be there, but at least this year the event is being represented by my cousin Alicia, family-wise. It's her first, so I hope she does better than my mother and I fared back in 2006 (when Mom ended up in the CCU with severe dehydration ( Read more... )

Lessons in Motherly Gift-Giving: a loving child gives mom flowers; an awesome child gives her Mario Kart Wii. :@ )

Edit: Woo! Mom loved her present (see above sentence). Although the truth is, she loved playing the game so much on my Wii, she wanted her own copy. So, I was a good child and bought it for her (well, I told her I was planning to buy ( Read more... )

Ah, all will be well now...Mom was able to get a Wii online. I tried scouting Wii Tracker for the best deals (that's how I found mine through Circuit City), but the prices for places who had them in stock were so outrageous, and the good deals went very quickly, so I was holding out for something better ( Read more... )

Oh dear, I have truly created envy and desire in others with my Wii! My Mom sent me an E-mail last night (which is rare enough, since she can and usually does just call me or whatnot) asking where and how she could find a Wii, and the best way to combine/bundle, or whatever. Her tone sounded desperate; she ended the message with HELP!!!! (OMG, HALP ( Read more... )

OHAY, yeah, I'm having a GRRREAT week (feel the sarcasm oozing from that statement ( Read more... )

Man, WTF is with the lag on LJ today? Sheesh...took like 2 minutes just to load the post page. Do not want!!!! Whateva, LOL. Edit: Hrm, it appears it's the connection at work that's acting up; I had to reset the router and all that fun schtuff. Bitch, LOL ( Read more... )

Oy, if hosting a Thanksgiving feast isn't a ginormous challenge...this could get very interesting is all I can say. Thank goodness my Mom is helping me. One more week to prepare would have been so grand...but oh well. It doesn't help that suddenly I've been told more people are coming than we first thought. Hoo boy. It was way easier when we just ( Read more... )

This is a very exciting addition to LJ...comment editing! About damn time! I think thus far, it only works with paid accounts, and can only be done with comments that haven't had replies to them, but hey, it's still something! I can't even mention the countless times I've made a boo-boo in my comments, and of course by the time I realize it, I've ( Read more... )

*SIGH*

Well, I've had better weekends. And months, and years.

( Everything I Touch Turns to Dust... )

I got a brief bit of "radio fame" this morning, woo! (Hey, let me enjoy it; it's probably the only local fame I'll ever get, LOL.)

Well, no, I can't take credit for it; see, given October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, one of our popular local radio stations, Star 101.5, did a promotion they do every year called "Bras Across Lake Washington", ( Read more... )
