So, it's been a while. How are you? Me? Fine, thanks. I recovered well from both surgeries last year. The first 3 months of 2014 have been OK - nothing big to speak of except the cold. Texas girls should not still be wearing hoodies and sweats in almost-April ( Read more... )

So, I bring you my first world problems: I need a new computer. The one I have is ancient (in tech life) - somewhere close to 10 years old. Opening iTunes brings the CPU to 100% capacity. Ancient, I tell you ( Read more... )

... But first - oh, Dowager Countess, how I've missed you ( Read more... )

I'm timely as always. :) I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and that your New Year has been lovely so far. Even though I don't post often, I still read your posts and think of you often. I love the little peeks into your lives so keep them coming ( Read more... )

I know I don't play much on here anymore, but I still follow along with all of you when I can. I hope your summer has been awesome, and that you're looking forward to fall. (Some of you may already be experiencing fall, but here in Texas, we're excited about having days that don't hit 100 - supposed to be 93 today but a cool front is coming ( Read more... )

Several weeks ago, my friend K mentioned a trip to Mexico over Labor Day to me. Now, you know how much I like to travel, but she wasn't sure she was going yet so I didn't jump on it. This is being organized by a travel agent friend of hers, D. Suddenly K posts on Facebook that she and her sister (K2) are going. Oh well, I reply. Guess I'm not going ( Read more... )

1. I has a sad. Terra Nova has been canceled. First Eureka, then In Plain Sight, then The Firm, and now Terra Nova.

2. At least we have a couple of new shows on that aren't cookie cutters. Did anyone catch Touch (with Jack Bauer Keifer Southerland) or Awake (with Lucius Malfoy Jason Isaacs). I found them both quite intriguing. I swore for a minute I ( Read more... )

I read something about a favorite celebrity recently that really changed my view of this person. Does that ever happen to you? I'm not talking about specific causes, but have you ever read/seen something that totally affects how you see an actor/singer/sports figure? Does it change your level of enjoyment of their talents? Right now, I'm wondering ( Read more... )

...to feel justified when your boss doesn't read an email you sent and then forgets to submit a report because he didn't read it ( Read more... )

Confession time: I am inherently lazy. I am the queen of procrastination. Not only do I think of things I'd rather do than housework, etc, I actually do them. (Though I'll reach my breaking point after a while and grab that dang mop.) I'm not tossing blame at anyone but myself. I do entertain occasionally, but most of the time it's just me, the dog ( Read more... )
