Okay, so I joined Facebook, because everyone talks about how great it is.  But I'm truly at a loss.  What the heck am I supposed to do with it?  Other than putting in my name and birthday, and trying to dig around to find a photo to upload, I'm stumped.  Not really seeing benefits so far.  Someone explain, please ( Read more... )

Hell has frozen over and pigs are flying by my window.  I just saw George Bush admit there are things he regrets.  Of course, they're the mistakes of others, but still, no more roasting marshmallows in hell for the evil liberals.  ;-) 

I am utterly ecstatic!  President Elect Obama!   

I've been getting how I get during election season.  Passionate.  Outspoken.  Excited.  Unbearable.  Poor Eddie.  He's largely apolitical, and I'm driving him nuts.  I just love the idea of democracy, of the United States as a republic.  Doing the same thing that the great Western civilizations have done for thousands of years.  For most of us, ( Read more... )

A year ago I was a newlywed, still glowing from the most perfect and beautiful of days. Three years ago, around this time, I bought a cat to keep me company in lonely Austin.

So yesterday was my one year anniversary. Yay, yay, yay, yay. Life is so good right now and I am so incredibly happy. Just wanted to say that. :-)

Things are going well, the usual craziness. I meant to have emails answered or sent today, but never got around to it. We're heading to ABQ tomorrow to visit Eddie's family, won't be back until Monday. I'm getting excited, though I'm nervous ( Read more... )
