I think my computer's dying. It won't stay on without being plugged in (despite the fact that, according to my computer, I have 42% battery), and I had to tape the cord coming out of the converter box in a certain position so that the computer considers itself "plugged in." And my battery doesn't re-juice; it's stuck at this mythical 42%. And ( Read more... )

I just read all the curses relating to the body in Yiddish, and I've had most of them. Perhaps I was an anti-Semite in a previous life, and I'm finally getting my just desserts. And all of a sudden, my life seems to make a little bit more sense ( Read more... )

...but I don't think anyone will get the reference which makes me very sad indeed. Resigned to allusionless subject lines. *sigh*

So much to tell, so little time, but here goes:

Monday the 21th:Ben's team had the end of year dinner, which was surprisingly nice. Partly because I'm so proud of my baby brother, and the other part because all the ( Read more... )

I would have sworn that the 1st counselor in our ward told me that our meeting was at 7 AM at his house on Sunday morning; a time I'm rather opposed to on principle, but I then, I'm opposed to anything before 10 AM on principle, so I'm always having to damp down that gut reaction of hatred. Anyway, so I get up at 5:55 Sunday morning (O.o) and drag ( Read more... )

Last night I felt like I had a hangover (or at least I assume that's what a hangover feels like). Dizzy, headache, nauseous, the whole shebang. Blech. So I was up late, trying to go to sleep, and then I woke up late. But I've felt better throughout the day, so that's good ( Read more... )

...not that that's all that hard ( Read more... )

Baseball playoffs started today. Air Academy kicked butt in the first game, winning 17-0, despite weather that changed every two seconds. We had everything from cold winds, to warm sun, to mini ice storms, to spring rains. It was bizarre, but we got through a full regulation game (thank heaven). The next game at 3:00 should be a bit more of a ( Read more... )

I don't know how we've managed to get all this fog this week. The nearest large body of water is the Great Salt Lake, and there are these small hills in the way of that ( Read more... )

We did our second group of Music Man tonight. Second night's going to be the harder night; these are the kids who are a little less into the whole acting, being onstage thing. And I was doing it alone because Mom was at a champions' dinner with Ben (honor athlete-scholars in the area) and Dad was at Jefe's choir concert, so I was doing a lot of ( Read more... )

Total ftw for our kids tonight. The girls got their parts and the characters so quick, and the barbershop quartet was amazing. All the director/costume/props/leaders people came in to listen to our readthroughs of the whole scene and they were so impressed. Then the boys even stood outside and serenaded people as they left at the end of practice ( Read more... )
