I didn't keep my NY Resolutions.

Again.

I wasn't nice.  I did gossip.  And I wasn't very patient with the dumbasses.

I was a pretty good friend, though. I kept many secrets - all the ones I was asked to, anyway.  That's good, right?

I totally got way closer with Jayse.  We're tight, but now he has a new love, so he doesn't need me like he did.

I've ( Read more... )

Despite apparent evidence to the contrary, I am alive and well.

I've just not really been on the computer very much.  Really.

I hope everyone had a great holiday!  I made dinner for the 4 of us and had Jayse over.  We had a really nice time.  Friday, after the 5am shopping (yes, I do it, but only to study the animals out there, kind of like a ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEX!!!

I hope your day is beautiful!

Remember I was going to buy a new computer?  Well I did, and I managed to pick out a lemon.

After dozens of emails, phone calls, suggestions by HP support, instructions by HP support, commiserating by HP support, they agreed and have overnighted me a new hard drive.

I get it today, and that is what I'll be doing tonight.  I have been computerless ( Read more... )

I have a new obsession:  Augusten Burroughs.

A little late, but I love finding a new author to read.

The danger here is that I want to climb into his life and be his BFF.  I adore him.  I love people who make me laugh so hard that I am in danger of losing control of my bladder.  Which, that is either due to having two large children or the muscular ( Read more... )

Hey kids,

I am alive - I've been on vacation!  We took the kids Up North last week, and did many touristy things.  Visited Mackinac Island, Tequamenon Falls, Lakes Michigan and Superior.  It was fun and relaxing and we ran into some friends up there, and spent a couple days with them.  Took a tube float trip down the river - ouch!  Branches and ( Read more... )

First, yay Al!  I told you her relay team won the competition.  Here's the picture.  There are four girls in the center - Al is in the front on the left.  I'm waiting on action shots so I can order some pics.

It occurred to me yesterday, after a quick conversation with Sticky, that I haven't shopped at all for this trip!  I need new clothes!  But I ( Read more... )

I had Friday off.  Brian and I took Al to Holt, MI for the Hershey Track & Field State Final.  She was competing in the 200m run and the 4 x 100m relay.

Al didn't train at all.  I blame her, because she really thought that it would be easy.  That she would blow the competition away.  In short, she believes her own press.  Damn the talented kid!  So ( Read more... )

I hope everyone had an explosively fun 4th of July!

I was able to read and read and read some more.  One book I read, by far my favorite of the weekend, was Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane.  She's the daughter of Tina Louise (Ginger).  Hysterical, and her writing style really reminded me of
