I meant to update a while ago about the CAR. The short of it? All is well--for now. I was actually very butchily mcButcherson and talked to the car part store guy about my heater problem. He recommended that, since I got the heater BLOWING again, I put the extra fuses back on the shelf and try adding antifreeze ( Read more... )

Hey, guess what? I got my author's copies of the spiffy new mass-market paperback edition of TALL, DARK & DEAD. They look VERY cool.

As we pay a pretty steep price per month, I thought I should at least do my two times. Plus, everyone harrassed me at the cooking class and I completely bought their ( Read more... )

Shawn's Christmas present came early. We now have wireless AT HOME. Yes, no more dial-up for me. I have officially entered the 21st century -- though I did read in the paper today that only OLD people (GenX and older) use Facebook and write blogs. I suppose all the kids Twitter or Four Square? I don't even know what the heck that last one is, ( Read more... )
