Well... I've let my paid account lapse for the first time in years. I guess I just couldn't bring myself to sink the money this time around. Activity has been dropping off but worse than that people have been leaving/baleeting me with parting blows of "You didn't comment enough/aren't interesting enough!" thinly veiled under the guise of... I don't ( Read more... )

My mother-in-law called in tears while I was out shopping yesterday. The antibiotics the Oma was getting for the lung infection weren't helping. They tried a different one yesterday, but the verdict was that if it didn't help there was nothing else to be done. After the hubby got home from work I fed everyone and we zoomed off to the hospital for a ( Read more... )

WE WANTS IT. IT IS OUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

The weather here is INSANE. Richard was going to go grocery shopping for our guests and I wanted to walk to the post office to (finally) mail caiteydid's book, but it was just too brutal out there. Melanie called to say planes weren't landing. Good thing they're flying in TOMORROW morning. If it had been today there would have been big time trouble ( Read more... )

This morning I caught a little bit of a show about Alaska while I was having my morning cuppa. I got to thinking about how I so badly wanted to go live in Alaska when I was a girl and how I almost went to university in Fairbanks. I got to wondering what my life would have been like if I had. Halfway through all these musings on my exciting Alaskan ( Read more... )
