Correcting the names and punctuation on my music files. Yes I should be cleaning. This is PhD level avoidance here. # @webboy Ooh! We’ll bring our swimming suits! Hahahahahahaha # I need to go to bed but I’m stalling because when I get up it will be my baby’s 10th birthday. Very traumatic for me. [...]

@webboy I don’t know how you guys do that. I go out for the mail and come back sweaty. I currently have the a/c AND 2 fans going. # Making it an early night tonight. Early for me, anyway. If I could I’d stay up til about 2 and sleep til 10. Sadly, my kids [...]

Started a game of Scrabble online, but I’m dozing off between plays. How rude of me. # Sugar infusion via bite-sized cherry Twizzlers saves the day. I’m enjoying a small lead in the game. # Scrabble results: no comment. # Getting ready to do the ‘ol switcheroo to WordPress 2.6. I want to make sure [...]

Watching older son play on the Wii. Should be doing school and getting ready to go get groceries.This is a lot less work. Lazy today. # Spent almost $200 and pantry is still looking bare. Got Gala apples from NZ and first one I tried is grainy. Ick. No good ones til fall? # @webboy [...]

So…holiday weekend.  Due to a pinched nerve in my shoulder I couldn’t go to the local parade, so my husband took the boys on his own.  He didn’t even want to go, so it was very nice of him to take them – they were really looking forward to it.  I think we’ve almost gotten [...]

I’m not really an outdoors person.  During summer, I greatly prefer the air-conditioned indoors.  I have had a few interesting encounters with the natural world in the last couple of days, though. Sunday night when we came home from church, there was an interesting addition to the neighborhood.  A hawk had landed in our next [...]

I came across this recipe awhile back and couldn’t wait to try it out. Warning: This stuff is addictive! This makes a lot of bars and unless you want to gain 10 lbs., it’s probably best to share. These are very rich – FIVE eggs in this one. This is one of my new favorite [...]

Okay, I have no idea how to do this myself, but *somebody* needs to do it. Here’s the deal. I don’t like veggies. Never have, most likely never will. I have some exceptions – fresh green beans, sweet corn, potatoes, carrots in some forms…I think that covers them all. Other than that elite group, no [...]

Obviously, we also survived day 2 of the convention. It wasn’t as much fun as the first day for me, but I was getting exhausted. It tires me out to be around a lot of people and action for extended periods of time. The main vendor halls were even hotter than the day before. They [...]
