hahahhahaahhahahaha....vacation?  What's that?  Been waaaaayyyyy too long since I've had a real vacation of any kind.  You know the kind - where you actually pack a suitcase and leave town for a couple of days.  Sigh... one day I'll have one of those.

It's been a rather interesting year so far.  *snort*.  Bath tub plumbing issues, kitchen sink ( Read more... )

*sigh*... my car died.  It's not only really dead, it's most sincerely dead.  I couldn't get it started Saturday morning and since we were going to Austin, I figured I play with it that afternoon.  Nothing.  Nada.  No go.  Sunday, being Easter, meant nothing could be done.  Had already figured out it needed a starter (highly recommend the online ( Read more... )

Tax time - gone.  Sorta.  Have to do an amendment but need to finish gathering info first.  pppfffttt to credit card companies...."want us to settle/cancel your debt?  sure! But you have to pay for that privilege...."  Hopefully the info will be enough so I don't have to pay an arm and a leg.  And a foot.  And an ear.   You get the picture ( Read more... )

Sunday.  The first day.  Whew.  The doc said it could cause jitteriness...noticed the affect about an hour after taking.  Felt very peppy!   Good thing, too - we were swamped at work and the extra boost really came in handy.  Now I just need to be sure and follow the rest of the plan. Can't expect miracles and can't expect to see any results right ( Read more... )

April 1st.  April Fool's Day.  *sigh*   The day slipped by us.  We've been so busy at work that I don't think any of the girls even thought about doing something...and considering the personalities of a couple of them, that's saying a lot!!  Can't decide whether I'm disappointed or not.  They do jokes and little pranks all the time so maybe for ( Read more... )

edit...read thru it and realized it's a bit long but don't feel like going back and doing LJ cuts.  Be warned!

R.I.P.
Diana Wynne Jones passed away the other day.  While I love the adaption of her Howl's Moving Castle, I'm still not thrilled with the English actors chosen, with the exception of Jean Simmons and Lauren Bacall.  I did read the novel ( ( Read more... )

My little baby....didn't realize he was already over 18 months old.   At least the mystery has been solved - Coco is...ummm...was...a boy.   Never could tell because there was sooooooo much fur and someone didn't like to be checked out.  Based on mannerisms and other things, I was fairly sure, but then again you never know.  Took him in this ( Read more... )

Well, not really since I work today.  However I am on vacation for a whole week.  woo-hoo!  So many things to do at my house, but there's still so much to do at mom's.  Need to finish getting it cleaned out so we can sell it.  Need to do a lot at my house first, though, in order to make room for her stuff.  Especially the room full for books that I ( Read more... )

....it's been so long since I've posted, I didn't want to scare LJ and have it malfunction or something.  Frankly, I can't remember when I last posted.   Or what. *slight pause while I go check....please enjoy the Muzak while you wait ( Read more... )

Haven't been here in awhile.  Lots to catch up on but will have to save that for the weekend...hopefully.  Why haven't I been around you ask?  Well, here's the short but sweet version:

How I've Spent My Time Lately

Mom suffers from a form of vertigo that makes her really dizzy when she bends over - even slightly.  She had lost her balance threes ( Read more... )
