I have survived!

on July 7, 2007

Well, I should have, they gave me enough anesthetic to put out a manatee…lucky me, Mate was home, and I really did get much of my day off…thank heavens for outpatient procedures. I really love nurses, but I really hate hospitals…and I don’t have to do THAT again for another two years. (Of course there… Read More


Go-lightly…

on July 5, 2007

No…you really don’t want to know what that means. I’m prepping for my disgusting medical procedure…no food for a day and a half, clear liquids only (fortunately this counts chicken broth, Sprite and Gatorade that’s not red, pink, orange, or purple) and…well, let’s just say I’ve prepped my throne room with lots of reading material… Read More


So Much To Write, So Little Time…

on July 2, 2007

Okay, so I’ve been doing all of these different posts in my head–I’ve got one on the absurdity of R-ratings–I saw Die Hard 4–loved it shamelessly–and have been cracking up continuously because the only difference between the PG-13 rating and the R rating was the word *fuck*–and I’m like, “Hello, people, you had a *fucking*… Read More


Oh, Guess What I Can Do?

on June 30, 2007

Now, I know this is going to come as a surprise to some of you, because I don’t post about it that much, especially lately, but sometime in the last ten years (get this!) I. Have Learned. To KNIT!!! Now don’t let it shock you or anything–and I know you won’t really believe it until… Read More


Lost…

on June 28, 2007

Okay, whoever said “Survival is a series of near misses,” should be shot at–and missed, of course. As long as they hear the bullet whoosh by their ears taking a little hair with it, being missed and having to live with the wet pants and the Niagara Falls heart is the entire point. To totally… Read More


Don’t Talk To Me…I’m Not Communicating Right Now…

on June 27, 2007

I actually said those words to my son yesterday–I felt bad, but I’d just finished not one but two papers for my on-line classes, and more ‘reflection’ was not on my to-do list. Hell, it wasn’t even on my ‘able-to-do’ list. And to that end, I’m going to postpone the ‘blog retrospect’ meme that I… Read More


Lookie lookie lookie…

on June 25, 2007

OKay, you have to rotate it 90 degrees, so it’s vertical instead of horizontal. I was telling Needletart that the only difference between her imagination and mine were East Coast/West Coast things… we’re used to big ol’ granite rocks scattered everywhere ‘like a giant’s marbles’ so when I said ‘a granite foundation’ I imagined a… Read More


Lake Monkeys…

on June 24, 2007

We went to the lake today, and it was great… (can I end the blog there? I’m tired. No? Details? Oh, oh yeah…writing for pleasure…I know how to do this…) You’ll have to forgive me…I’m taking 12 units online and it really sucks. I’m trying not to resent it too much, because all teachers in… Read More


Complicated Instructions…tag!

on June 22, 2007

Okay, Knittech…lessee if I got this straight… Type my birthmonth into wikipedia, write down two historical events and one holiday that happened therein, and tag five friends… Did I do it right? *In 1752, the British Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar. In the British Empire that year, September 2 was immediately followed by September 14…. Read More
