Had unexpected company tonight! Someone showed up on our doorstep thinking that tonight was the Marc Gunn house concert and was embarrassed and horrified to learn it is scheduled for Feb 5th. But she drove probably 20 or 30 miles or more to get here, so we invited her in. Actually, we forced her in. She was going to turn around and drive right ( Read more... )

I complain and complain and complain to myself about not posting on LJ enough then I go and write a HUGE post and make it private. But it's about being a part of my friend's home birth experience, and I don't know if she'd appreciate me writing about it ( Read more... )

I seriously want a gingerbread icon - but so far I haven't been able to make one I like or find one premade despite some of the amazing holiday icons out there. Anyway - please to be checking out how incredibly talented and artistic and crazy my friends can be with gingerbread.

But months went by w/o emails or ( Read more... )

I got to play with my godson today!! My friend came up for lunch on the perfect day. Weather was lovely, so we walked to the cafeteria. Best of all, my bosses were both out. While they probably wouldn’t have cared that I had someone in my office for an hour after lunch since I’m actually caught up and Fridays are very slow days - it was nice ( Read more... )

I can do the full Thriller dance now!!! The Vincent Price version, not the 3 minute radio version. Yay! I still need to play the video with the spoken dance steps; I can't do them completely on my own, but I'm getting close. I can do the radio version even without the spoken words, so now it's just a waiting game - some day I'll be in a Walmart ( Read more... )
