Today was VERY productive! Despite it being the third day of an unseasonable Bay Area heat wave (I get more & more heat-intolerant each year!), I got a surprising amount of stuff done! So especially since I'm sometimes hampered by my ADD tendences, I just want to brag on myself a little ( Read more... )

HELP! D: I'm addicted to Crackbook... err... Facebook! And it's all the fault of two folks who "recruited" (haha) me the other month -- beckerbuns and rangereeyore! Actually, many LJ folks are on FB and have been for quite a while, and I think some even recommended it to me (justjesi and savvyelfpirate, did you? heehee) However, it was Becky S. and Shawn who sent me actual INVITES and ( Read more... )

I said in my previous entry that I'd only use LiveJournal's scrapbook/photo hosting feature that one time, but now I have to use it again! *chuckle* I've been taking TONS of pix with my digital camera here in Colorado, but I don't have a way to download them to my laptop. Even if I did, I don't have Photoshop here; only on my home desktop. So.... I ( Read more... )

*giggle* I like that word... junket... but I so rarely get a chance to use it. :)

Thursday of last week, I took a day trip, via chartered bus, to Jackson Rancheria, an Indian casino, hotel and conference center in the town of the same name, located in beautiful Amador County. Normally these trips are sold-out, but this one wasn't, so I was one of ( Read more... )

I started falling behind again in posting photos and reviews of the Bingo Belles' monthly games, so here are December 2007 and January 2008 in one posting! *cheer* I still have one or two leftover games from '07 to post, and I will. :) In the meantime, enjoy these funny and fun photos! OH, and there are also two pix of my sweet RATTUMS as well.

( Right this way... )

I haven't posted and crossed off a to-do list in a LONG time, so here is one for today. (Not in any particular order). I'm actually quite proud with how it turned out. *blush* After the list is a "photo essay" documenting the very SAD damages incurred here in my townhouse complex, following the massive amounts of rain and wind much of Northern ( Read more... )

I was going to finally make good on my threat (err.... I mean my PROMISE! *giggle*) to post photos of my amusing, adorable and sweet rats Blueberry & Jellybean who are growing like weeds, and also to post photos of my amazing, beautiful and fragrant 4 o'clock flowers -- which truly DO grow like weeds! ;D However, I had a long and tiring (but cool) ( Read more... )

On Thursday, March 22, I took a day trip to Jackson Rancheria Hotel & Casino, an Indian casino in the small city of Jackson in beautiful Amador County. Jackson's home page even describes it as "nestled" against the Sierra foothills, just like Los Gatos (San Jose's neighbour) is often described as "nestled" against the Santa Cruz mountains. *grin ( Read more... )

I had the day off today, so I got a variety of things done. I went to the chiropractor for an excellent mini-massage and much-needed adjustments. I went to the bank to renew an account and to cash and/or deposit some checks (including my very first Diddams check!! *cheer*). I paid an overdue visit to my P.O. Box in Los Gatos and found a plethora of ( Read more... )

Here's the "Cliffs Notes" version of some interesting things that went on in the last two days.
