I'm at my sister's for the weekend. The Amazing Niece has successfully turned 4, with the help of many presents, family, friends, a plethora of "My Little Pony" decorations-- and a singing balloon. No, really. Sis found a huge mylar balloon with several Disney Princesses that declared "It's your princess day!" sang "Happy Birthday" in a princess ( Read more... )

How the hell is it March already? Ye Gods, I need to get caught up with shit.

First off- Coffee is good for your brain.. I totally have to show that to p-doc the next time he suggests my sleep issues are caffeine-related. (They aren't. If they were, I wouldn't be taking so many naps when I get home from work- I'd be too wired ( Read more... )

I'd say I was going to kill the dog but it's obvious that she's either indestructible or under the protection of some all-powerful Trickster God, like Cthulhu. Seriously ( Read more... )

GeekBro, aka my youngest brother & youngest sibling, turned 30 on the 10th. As has become his custom, he had a big party on Saturday with much wonderful food courtesy of Adopted Son #1, jrtheotter. GeekBro commented, "The food's so easy to take care of. I just throw a bunch of money at JR & tell him to make something good." JR, it must be noted, is a * ( Read more... )

This was a good weekend- a fun weekend. I feel so much better now than I did Wednesday & Thursday.

Friday, I had two picnics to go to- one earlier in the day at Aunt D's with the rest of the family & one at night at bissonmomma's. The family one of course was filled with much typical family nuttiness, although this time most of it was provided by Hurricane ( Read more... )

Lots & lots of crap. And by "crap" I mean "stuff". I spent all day yesterday & a bit of today cleaning up my room, partially because someone will have to redo some wiring in my room so that the new air conditioner won't blow the fuse & partially because it was getting rather difficult to walk from the door to my bed. Contrary to popular belief, I ( Read more... )

I have a dog again! :-D Only for a couple of weeks but I'm still happy to have her back. She's got me a little bit worried, though, as she's not eating like she normally is. She's a dog that generally inhales her food (typical of Chocolate Labs) but now she's letting it sit in her bowl all day. She only eats it after Mom & I have eaten supper & ( Read more... )

Today was a so-so day. I didn't get the necklace problem worked out, so I ended up napping instead of going to the shower (just seemed weird to go when I didn't have a gift, although Cappy wouldn't have minded at all, I'm sure). I spent the rest of the day working on graphics for my Etsy site & business cards & cards to attach to my jewelry ( Read more... )

So I gave the Pooch a much-needed bath today. She very excitedly jumped in the tub before I was done filling it- she *loves* water. Actually, that's why she needed a bath- she'd gone swimming in the swamp out by Aunt D's house over the weekend. I couldn't smell her (of course) but Mom could ( Read more... )

IF you want to increase the resistance in your pilates routine, I recommend having a 70 lb. Chocolate lab sit on your chest. :-D
