Heather sent this to me. At the time Issac was into addition. I can just hear Heather telling this story in a conspiratorial voice which makes it even funnier ( Read more... )

A lady I worked for sent me this email:

Subject: Guess who came to dinner--Wow!!!

A fawn followed this beagle home -- right through the doggie door --

In the Bittinger, MD area. The owner came home to find the visitor

Had made himself right at home.

Nobody is posting, so I guess I will. Somebody has to do it or there would be no reason to look at lj! I just signed up to be able to post on Lucianne.com, my right wing news ( Read more... )

I have almost caught up on all my work. I have been reduced to doing a job I was supposed to do in m spare time as my only job right now, so yesterday I got a call from one of my regular customers, an apartment complex in madras. He wanted me to come bid on one, which was unusual because he usually just says come do it. When I got there, I was ( Read more... )

Today, after a fun late night working on the house and writing -- I write on Matt's laptop until it gets too heated up, and then let it rest while I trowel on venetian plaster finish--I was rudely awakened by yermommy with the loud notification I was going to be late for church.

I felt that at least one of them was only partly important, but some I could totally ( Read more... )

I got up this morning and my bp was quite a bit lower than usual, which was good, I guess, but the reason I got up at 4:00 am was my heart beat was not normal, and I was kind of worried. I guess I thought if ( Read more... )

yermomma's mad at me again. It's been awhile. I almost forgot what it was like. It is a sign of how good I have gotten as a hubby that it has been so long since my bad stuff has added up to cause a melt-down. The last time I remember it was several years ago, I got so mad, I went on a spree of doing stuff I was accused of neglecting for about a 3 ( Read more... )
