Thanksgiving was ok. Lots of food for one person to eat. Gage didn't touch a bite of Thanksgiving food. No, that's not right, he did TOUCH the cranberry sauce. He just didn't eat it. It was more of a "what exactly is this mom?" touch. Not a "I think I'll give this a try" touch. At the moment he's laying on the floor in a pile of pillows and ( Read more... )

If you got that... well you're as big a dork for Ron White as I am ( Read more... )

So, I got some cross stitch kits from someone on one of the boards I'm on. She wasn't planning on doing them, so she sent them to me. Would it be unethical if I do the cross stitch and then sell the finished products? I've done a couple of other kits I got already. Ornaments. I haven't done cross stitch in years, and I've never tackled a ( Read more... )

I've begun plotting my search for employment. Going to get a part-time job while Gage is in school. I picked up an application at the Conoco up the road already. Just gotta fill it out and stuff. It'll be fun looking up all the past employment information. Especially since my last job is no longer there (it was a seasonal Kiosk), I don't know ( Read more... )

gage keeps holding up his blue crayon and saying “my blue crayon.” he’s also been asking for pizza rolls all day, it’s terribly cute. what’s not terribly cute is that he was trying to make me color, which is fine, except that he was trying to direct my hands in unnatural positions. it’s uncomfortable ( Read more... )

the lawn is still not mowed... someone was supposed to come and do it on tuesday. weather prevented arrival. she was supposed to come on wednesday. again with weather. she hasn't come by today, and it's starting to look like it wants to rain. unfortunately we can't get our lawnmower to start ( Read more... )

gage that is. and terribly clever. we had cake yesterday... a birthday/mother's day cake. he knows that it's in the fridge (so that he doesn't steal it away and eat it all). he took me to the fridge asking "apple?" so i opened the fridge to get him an apple. he took out the cake, handed it to me and said "please ( Read more... )

it's a very showtunes kinda day, while i take pictures of stuff for the next round of ebay auctions. actually, i gotta go thru stuff and pull more out for the listing. some things (very few) are being re-listed... some are being combined into lots and then re-listed. afterall, it's not just about the money, it's about getting rid of some of the ( Read more... )

they must be running short on recruits... the mormons, that is. for one, it's been about a year since any came knocking on my door. prior to that i was getting visits once every few months. and todays pair behaved like they'd never done this before. which wouldn't be odd if they weren't both wearing tags that indicated them to be elders. one ( Read more... )

gage stayed home from school today. he power-hurled on the bus yesterday, and was coughing madly this morning. so i thought i'd keep him home and try and get some cough medicine in him. he's been playing with this blanket all day. putting it on the floor and pulling up a couple of "peaks" in it. i have no idea why. he does it with the blanket ( Read more... )
