...that's pretty much how I feel right now. It started this afternoon with coughing and now includes full blown body aches and bitchiness. Okay, the bitchiness is ongoing, but the rest is new. I don't even feel like knitting, that's how bad I feel. And I have been a knitting fool for the last couple of weeks ( Read more... )

Some people see dead people, I see bridesmaids. At least I did last night. A whole freakin' chorus of them. Whatever possessed the costumer for the Wichita Grand Opera to do ALL of the costuming from David's Bridal, I will never know. All of the women wore incredibly ugly bridesmaid dresses, with the except of the lead...who wore bridal gowns, ( Read more... )

They decided to cancel school today. We really haven't had much snow and Rhiannon's outside now terrorizing the dog and the neighbourhood. So far, we've had one UPS delivery and the doorbell just rang again. No telling what the heck this one is ( Read more... )

I never thought I would be sick of shopping, but I am. I still need to pick up a few things but Mom won't tell me what she wants for Christmas and she has given me zero ideas for Ron. Rhiannon's is pretty much taken care of. I'm just waiting for her Horsez game to come in. Her Supergirl messenger bag arrived today. It's the perfect size for ( Read more... )

Henry and I actually ventured out yesterday to see what was on sale. We waited until after all of the door buster business was over. There was no way I wanted to tackle a bunch of crazed shoppers who were going to be fighting over the 10 tv's that were in one store. We picked up a computer case for the system that Henry is building for Rhiannon ( Read more... )

...and why did she look surprisingly like my mother? Yesterday was actually really enjoyable at Mom and Ron's. Mom was in a really good mood and seemed more relaxed than she had been in a really long time. The turkey wasn't so great, but everything else was so good. Nobody makes mashed potatoes like my mother. Even Henry says that. I don't ( Read more... )

The amazing aromas of Thanksgiving have completely permeated my home. Henry made gingerbread last night and we had homemade turkey broth simmering on the stove, as well. We've got dressing in the oven now and the gravy is made. I'm finally feeling like celebrating the holidays ( Read more... )

...my usual doc, not the drive-by dermatologist, and I *FINALLY* think they know what has been causing the recurring rash on my forearms! Pat, the PA (who is fantastic!), says that what most likely started as contact dermatitis from all the bleach that was used on equipment at Seb's Place developed foliculitis and that is what keeps coming back. ( Read more... )

Or did the internet take forever to go anywhere last night??? We rebooted and reset modems and it still just poked along like I was trying to run my 8yr old Gateway on it. Today, it's movin' right along just fine ( Read more... )

So I joined a grief support group on yahoo after Gran died. It was a wonderful group to get feedback from at first. Then this heinous hosebeast named Lori joined the group. Can you say "Attention Whore", boys and girls? I thought you could. If you didn't agree with her or respond to her the way she thought you should...or gawd forbid that you ( Read more... )
