Let me e'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

1. I owe my mother an apology - I was supposed to drive with her out to meet up with my sister and her kids in Tennessee on Sunday, and I didn't because I haven't been sleeping well and wanted to sleep in that morning. Turns out she had made a whole gluten-free picnic for the day, which I didn't ( Read more... )

Dear parents of Atlanta ( Read more... )

For the last few months I've been composing posts in my head, and then not getting around to actually posting them. And then I felt that that too much had happened since my last post, and I'd never be able to catch up. So now I present a quick Top Ten Rundown of What's Been Happening in Muse's Life Since She Last Posted Three Months Ago:

I'm sitting in the Jury Duty room at the Dekalb County Courthouse in Decatur - they have wifi, but I'm not able to get internet access on it for some reason, so I'm using my Blackberry's modem functionality. Not too shabby, as long as I don't have to download any emails with attachments greater than 2 MB.

So - weekend update!

And once again it's snowing in Atlanta - those of you living in cold climates would be terribly amused by the OMG!!!111 panic that sets in if anything resembling snow hits the forecast.

My mom-in-law made it in on Thursday from Ohio, and has been having fun playing with Luna. The real reason she came down (I haven't seen her in a year) is to see the ( Read more... )

Merry Happy Christmahannukwanzica to all!

We had a lovely holiday weekend. Mom-in-law arrived on Saturday, and on Sunday we all went to my mother's house for Xmas Eve. My mother roasted a goose which I find to be the tastiest of all fowl - the flesh is so rich, and when done right the skin is crispy and divine. It's much less fatty than a duck, but ( Read more... )

Flying home for 24 hours to surprise my stepmum for her retirement reception and getting the chance to see her, my dad, both my sisters AND my stepbro: priceless

Oh what a lovely weekend!

As previously mentioned, my step-brother, Claudio, was in town for a gig with his current band. He arrived in massive pain after doing something to his back whilst moving an amp, but miatuc was kind enough to stop by and diagnose it as a badly pulled muscle, and provided some lovely muscle relaxant and pain medication. (Thanks, ( Read more... )

Hello all...

My brother got into town last night - he's a drummer and supposed to play a gig at Smith's Olde Bar tonight. He hurt his back badly yesterday moving an amp, and he's in pain. I keep offering to take him to the hospital, but he wants to find a chiropractor.

Can anyone recommend someone good, preferably not far from Decatur, who may be ( Read more... )
