...I've run over my cell phone.  Perhaps multiple times, as I'm uncertain at which point in loading children in and out of the car to drop off and pick up them up at school that it fell from my pocket onto the driveway beneath the car....

It would actually be pretty funny if I didn't have to go buy a new one....  ;-P

I really should not say this lest I be considered a waspish and overbearing stick-in-the-mud, but I'm cranky today and this always bugs me: Halloween is in October, on the LAST freaking day of October, for that matter, so people should at least wait until the first of October to put out their Halloween decorations!!!!!!!!!!!!!  For heaven's sake, ( Read more... )

I bought a package of crumpets at the store recently and this morning I decided to actually eat one.   Hot from the toaster and generously buttered...ooh, it was lovely!  I'm not sharing the rest of the pack with the family.  ;-D  Haha, it reminds me of the scene from the film "The Importance of Being Earnest" in which Colin Firth and Rupert ( Read more... )

 *HUGS TO EVERYONE*

I miss you all, and our Navyboys that you all so wonderfully bring to life in words.

*MORE HUGS*

Hey everyone!  I've missed you all!  Unfortunately, LJ is completely off the radar for me anymore (it's a rare event when I actually manage to send an e-mail, or do more than check the weather or googlemap something online), so I'll be submerging back into oblivion again after this entry.

Before I get to the interesting news, I'll just say that I ( Read more... )

Wooohoooo!!!!  I managed to make an icon!!!  *gringringrin*  *squeees and bounces in the chair*

It's absolutely horrible, but I'm so extremely proud of myself that I'm going to use it anyway.  Till I make it better or make a different one that's equally rubbish.  :-D

Umm, let's see if I can put in in here now to show off my first extremely mediocre ( Read more... )

I have a very important question:  Does anyone know or have any idea how to find out if the white chocolate M&Ms will be coming back out?  (Remember the "Pirate Pearls" *cough*RNotCM&Ms*cough*?)  I really really really really really want some...I'm hoping it's not too optimistic to think "Pirate Pearls" might come back for AWE.  Anybody?

And my ( Read more... )

Repeated "Master and Commander" squee!!  :-D  I just love it!  And I ought to just buy the book before I pay for it in overdue fines...  *note to self to re-check it out online*  Patrick O'Brian is just so awesome, I love the way he writes!

More "Hornblower" squeeing!  :-D  The more episodes I watch, the more I love it.  Except the only problem with ( Read more... )

This was inspired by discussion of AWE spoilers (and is also a poor effort to cheer those disturbed by them).  :-)  It's pathetic, I promise you.  (You've been warned.)  :-)

However, it does NOT contain any spoilers.  :-)

Dedicated to all true Naval fans who know that our boys are really off sailing about on the Dauntless, blissfully unaware of ( Read more... )

For anyone who wants to see my kitty.  :-)  (The picture was taken from above her, she's not really that squatty - or plump, she just has very thick fur.)  :-)  Her name is Bessy (because she is white and black like a cow, and her previous owner was really into cow decor).
