I had this moment of clarity today while I was sitting at my sister's house for another fun-filled morning of babysitting the contractors as they worked on the floor. As much complaining as I've been doing about the house sitting recently, when else do I have an excuse to do nothing but sit and read and write. Yes, I can do it at home, but there' ( Read more... )

My lovely friends kimbrchick and jenahville stopped by today. And being the awesome peeps that they are, we watched episodes of Supernatural. Not part of my marathon, mind you, just random episdoes that caught our fancy. For those that are wondering ... No Exit (JO!), The Usual Suspects, Tall Tales, Ghostfacers, and Bad Day at Black Rock. We were kinda going for ( Read more... )

I think my darling boy is all set for school tomorrow. His lunch has been made. His backpack is packed with LOTS of school-related goodies. His clothes have been picked out. We went by the school today so I could show him where his classroom is. Normally, we'd just go find out where he had to line up on the playground, but since he does safety ( Read more... )

Where did August come from? Huh ( Read more... )

I stayed up too late last night. I had a hard time waking up this morning. Boo. But I did finish my book.

Book #60 - Paths not Taken by Simon R. Green - 5th in the Nightside series. I really like how things that were set up in the first book are coming around and being addressed now. Defining moments are happening - Things that shaped the ( Read more... )

Just so I don't forget ...
Book #58 - Dead Man's Folly by Agatha Christie - Another request by oddmonster and we all know that I must bow down before her requests. For once I figured out parts of the mystery before the big reveal. Of course that does mean that I got parts of it wrong. Look, no one's perfect. I got part of it. I really liked this one.

I've been marathoning Star Trek Enterprise over the last week or so. However, I had to seriously slow down on the number of episodes I was going through so my season 1 dl could catch up. Fortunately, I have all eps now and can continue with my hardcore marathon. Word ( Read more... )

I get to get up at 5 tomorrow morning to take Hailey and Heather to the airport. They're heading out to Florida to go to Disney World. According to Amber and Phil (who are already there) it's ridiculously hot. Grossly hot. On the other hand, it's supposed to hit upwards of 100F Saturday and Sunday here. Yikes. That's hot. We've already ( Read more... )

Cole has just been invited to spend a couple of days in Tahoe. Starting tomorrow. *blink* Didn't he just get back from time away from me? Darn kids today with all their socializing and being friendly and not shutting themselves into their houses ( Read more... )

Oh crap. I'm tired. If it's 7 here, it has to be later somewhere else. Using this logic it's not too early to go to bed. Except that I have to take the dog out in about 2 hours. I guess it could be a nap. Who am I kidding, like I'd wake up from that ( Read more... )
