My daughter celebrated her 14th birthday yesterday!  She says she doesn't feel any older....but man...I sure do!  LOL  I told her that October 11 is my favorite day of the year.  She asked me, "Why?".....silly girl!  Since things (translated:  money) are difficult right now, we celebrated with a dinner of Chinese food and her favorite kind of cake ( Read more... )

Whew...I've been to a chiropractor and a primary care physician...and I'm still in a LOT of pain.  The official prognosis is bruised ribs, whiplash, mild contusion, sprained ankle, strained wrist and moderate to severe back strain.

Some days I just *need* some Pablo Neruda.  Today is one of those days.

So, yeah...wow...I am just starting to feel better from a summer cold I got while enroute to StL with my little sick 15 month old cousin.  Luckily, it didn't hit me till AFTER we were on the way back (which my being up almost the entire weekend probably contributed to my immune system being weak.), so my weekend was GREAT!!

I wanted to post all ( Read more... )

So, I couldn't go to ABQ with my friends and that makes me so sad.  But I am extremely happy that SlamCharlotte came out on top in their first bout last night!!  YAY!!!!  I'm also happy that Columbia also came out on top in their first bout last night!  Even though I'm happy for Columbia, cause they do in fact have a kick ass team....SlamCharlotte ( Read more... )
